I dont know what happened to all the messages that I posted about this. But here is a repost.

If you remember we were talking about a module with a PCM card attached to the end of a ribbon cable.I was right...It is called SAM-1. It also does a lot more than I thought.

Read what I found out below. It looks great.
If you want to see a pic of it go to
http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Zadok/SAM-1/images/

The SAM-1 is a 1U rackmount device, it has a built in 1.44mB floppy drive,
reads directly EPS, AKAI S900 S1000, T1, Sound Designer etc. format sample
disks. Will also take SDS transfers over MIDI and can then store these on
disk
as SAM-1 format for later quick retreival. It can store midifiles and sysx
transfers on the same disks if required. It has a built in midifile player,
and ships with some sample disks for you to try. It has a mid in/out/thru
connector
and ribbon cable to attach to the supplied PCM card adapter.

The SAM-1 is also good for transferring RAM bank sysx's to and from the
Korgs
and we can supply a free wavestation zip file containing hundreds of sysx
banks, you no longer need seperate program rom cards or PCM cards. When you
purchase
the SAM-1 send an email to drush@uk.oracle.com to register and you will be
advised
on how to receive the zip file.

You can also obtain a PC to AKAI program which allows you to write WAV files
directly to an AKAI formatted disk inserted in the PC drive.

See :-

format disks
from a PC drive, readable by the SAM-1

OR see :-

http://wwwperso.hol.fr/~chavo000 wav to akai, wav SDS transfers to the
SAM-1
over midi
, which can be saved to SAM-1 format disks and reloaded quickly.



SAM-1 supports the M1, M3R, T series and all wavestation models except the
SR
(SR has later 01/W type PCM slot).

SAM-1 has a special PCM card adapter which fits into you Korg PCM slot, has
midi in/out thru and 110v-240v working range.

Note - A memory expansion card is available though you will need to carry
out
a circuit track
modification on your Korg, instructions are provided but it will VOID your
Korg
warranty (though we suspect your Korg is maybe out of warranty by now)
