Older Akai Libraries..

Are they compatible with the Force? I Was wondering if anyone had grabbed the old sample CD torrents from Archive.org and somehow loaded them into the Force..


Any ideas how to go about it?

It loads my mpc60 .snd files so I would say probably. Obviously it’s not gonna cost you anything so why wouldn’t you just try?

Not sure if it's the same for the force, I tried in my MPC one. Most of them fail to load, others loose all the ADSR and filter parameters.

In general, it's worth the effort if you want to keep some specific sounds. For browsing and importing everything it's just a waste of time. Most of the patches are good, but you'll have to do a lot of manual editing for each one.

AKP will load in the MPC, not sure about the Force, never tried it. It will assign samples to keygroups but that's it, but that will at least save some time.

The downloads I have are .iso disks.. I cant mmount them in MacOS because it says theres no filing system.. How can I load these disks and move the samples across to the Force?

I have tried and couldnt, Thats why Ive tried googling and now am asking on an Akai forum

Probably need something like cdExtract to read the disks.

Thanks, I downloaded it and tried to install but it doesnt work on intel macs sadly.. Ill try finding something else

You have an intel Mac, so you do have the option to run Windows in a VM to handle all of the grunt work.
