Dear friends,
I am finally beginning to use the sample handling ability of my SD1. I have played the sounds stored on the HD and some of them (like the percussive Hammond) are really good. However, I have a huge library of sounds, most of them home-made, from my Akai S 2800 and would like to transfer those sounds into the SD1. Ufortunately, the SD1 doesn't support the midi sample dump (at least I didn't see this feature in the manual). I can upload samples from my PC using the Ketron file transfer program, but I cannot trasfer the samples from the Akai to the PC itself. I have tried with Sound Diver, but apparently it only transfers programs, for editing purposes.
Is there another program (or another way) to download samples to the PC? I am sure that a program like Giga sampler could do this, but I am afraid that it's too expensive for what I want to do (i.e. not sampling or editing sounds but simply transferring them).
I know that I could resample all the sounds again with the SD1, but this process would be very time consuming and, besides, I know that a dedicated sampler, like the Akai, has better editing possibilities compared with the SD1.
Thanks in advance
Andrea
