Loading Akai samples/programs/cds

[Liquid EDGE]

I’m trying to load akai sample CDs and programs etc.

I’ve installed the aspi layer but it still fails.

Searching in here I see mentions of akai.dll and a cdacces file needed.

Those links are now broken.

Can someone point me to those files.

Or someone who works with the sts uses scope 7 and has those files and loads akai samples fine. Could you share those files to me.

I use Windows xp 32bit.

Thanks.

Sorted it. Need to open the install.bat file with the “run” command and add a space and add “XP32” to command.

Tedious

add "XP32" to command? Can you give the full line?

It’s explained here..

my command line looked slightly different but basically what ever it says when you point to the install.bat you add a space and XP32 (depending on your os and for me it’s XP 32bit)

Thank you, other users needing this information will appreciate the added information.

Cheers Dante. I looked there first. Have a shortcut to scoperise I often look at first... the really important thing with installing the aspi layer is this!

“Need to open the install.bat file with the “run” command and add a space and add “XP32” to command.”

That information could be made more clear/blatant/obvious..

Rather than just double clicking on it!!!

It is in the readme file of the drivers really badly explained... though that link I shared explained it rather well..

When you have a copy of CD Xtract available or find one,- it converts AKAI CD samples/programs directly into Creamware STS files.
Latest version was v4.5.3 (feb. 2009) and it runs well on Win XP.

The company seems to be out of biz, website is gone ...

So, when you google, you might find other places to get the application ...

I myself, I still own a legal copy for Windows though.
It already helped converting my AKAI library for Steinberg Halion 2 in the past,- also converting AKAI and EMU for Kontakt.

just sayin´
