STS 4000 x64

[LorenOA76]

Hello Dear friends,
When I try to start STS 4000 x64 it ask me for a DSP file missing:
S4K Indi-MixS 64.DSP
Please need some help
Many thanks
Loren

Things missing from your post:

1. what OS are you running (Win7, WIn8, Win10; Home, Pro; 64bit etc)
2. What version of Scope are you using? (4.0, 4.1, 5.x, 7.x)?

And two suggestions:
1. If you're on Scope 7, have you read through the Scope 7 bug list?
2. Have you tried to use the Forum Search Function?

there is no STS in 64bit....

Try Halion or Kontakt. Why do you want the oldie sts4000 akai Format reading Sampler? Scope has other benefits.

Will Kontacky load AKAI samples ? If not, Reasons In built samplers will.

Kontacky (nice slang b.t.w. ) loads AKAI (and EMU and whatelse) but doesn´t sound like an AKAI sampler at all,- also not like a EMU.
I converted a s##tload of AKAI CDs w/ CD-Xtrakt for usage in Halion 2 and later in Kontakt.
Was a nitemare of boring work, possibly waste of time too because they load and you hear a program, but it´s just only the digital sample data in Kontakt´s engine architecture being very different from AKAI hardware.
STS is much better and already when I used Reason 3 and 4,- I loaded and converted AKAI floppy disks using Phead "ReLoad" and it sounded good,- at least better than in Kontakt.
I´d don´t blame Kontakt though ...
When you want to use AKAI samples inside Kontakt it works,- and you tweak the samples and get a result,- but there´s no easy way by simply loading an AKAI "program" incl. samples from whatever drive into Kontakt, then just only play and get what you formerly got when using the hardware sampler.
Lots of editing and time investment neccessary.

That´s why I still own a working AKAI S-1100 and S-1000,- and another actually not working pair for parts.
EMU E64 and 2 Oberheim DPX-1 too.
The real deal sounds best, where "best" might be matter of taste too.
For sure it does for the "programs" they created for multisamples and the original hardware.

I compared some EMU stuff from my ESI imported into STS. It transfers only the pure waveform, but skips any tweaks for filter, envelope and fx on the hardware.
Those original programs are tweaked to a frightening amount of detail, which still makes the hardware a valid option today.
(in particular at current low prices)
I assume with Akai it's a similiar situation, but I don't have any hardware to confirm.

vz8 vst rebuild was a nice option, but I never found a deal...
> True compatibility with S1000, S1100, S2000, S3000, S3000XL, S5000, S6000, Z4 and Z8 sound library formats.
> Network VZ8 software samplers and Z4/8, S5/6000 and MPC4000 hardware samplers on the ak.Sys network with drag and drop data compatibility between them.
