Easiest way to create Akai Sample cds?

By LostInMusic Sun Mar 28, 2010 12:19 am
whats the easiest way? is there some software I can use to convert my wavs into akai format, easily create banks/keygroups with these converted samples (like drag and drop), and then burn a cd for use with my akai s1100 and s3000xl samplers?

I have tonnes of wav files......i just dont know which software i need to look at for doing this

quick and dirty

like my beats

thanks

most of the links I found were broken, or the software only works on ancient versions of Windows, which I don't have, but there are a few useful pages out there:

Constructor™ is a powerful multi-instrument, cross platform Instrument editor. It allows you to build any Instrument of any format, either by starting from scratch, or by importing any Instrument format as a starting point. You can merge Instruments or create Banks of Instrument, to export into one of the common Bank formats that exist (such as GigaStudio, SoundFont, or EmulatorX).

Many, if not all, samplers have their own editors presented as interfaces to their playback engines. Sometimes these editors are capable, sometimes not. Since the manufacters have to focus so strongly on their playback engines, sometimes the creation and editing area isn't as powerful as it can be. Additionally, it is always hardwired in to the sample format and layout it is editing.
