Via menu entry File|Import|Akai S1000/S3000 CD/ZIP VSampler is able to read sample- and splitdata from CDs and ZIP-discs in Akai S-1000 and S-3000 format:
An Akai-CD is devided into Volumes A ... J. Every volume contains programs. Those programs may contain presets [P] or samples [S]. VSampler supports both the import of presets (including all splits) and samples (including loop points, panning and volume).
In order to read an AKAI-CD the ASPI protocol (SCSI protocol) is used. A respective ASPI driver is included with the newer versions of Windows 95/98 and Windows 2000 and is in most cases available for IDE CD-drives too.
