Editing Akai S950 programs & samples with Awave, Renoise & Akaiutil
A quick demo for Akai S950 sampler users to show that you can now edit your programs and samples on the computer. Skip to 6:00 if you just want the jungle music :)
Errata:
2:12 I incorrectly refer to the "Keyzones" tab as the "Keygroups" tab.
5:17 I incorrectly refer to Akaiutil as Awave
I'm using ZuluSCSI here but a Gotek with Flashfloppy using .img files will work just as well. Will also work for S1000/1100, S3000 etc etc
Music recorded dry & mono direct out of the S950

Some more jungle for ya. Brought in the s1100 ‘cause the vocals take up so much RAM. A bit of break overdrive crunch on the desk. Master bus through the locally made High Voltage Audio bus compressor. Hope you like my amazing camera work.

    So if I understand correctly, you record the samples with the S950 and save them onto an SD card using a floppy emulator, then edit the samples and convert them back for playing with midi using a tracker? I didn't realise trackers did midi but it just reflects my ignorance of amiga midi. How perfect this rig looks for bringing to the park on a tricycle!

    • @Samplers

      That's the idea. In this instance, I'm not using the floppy emulator but a larger capacity SCSI hard drive emulator at the back of the machine.

    Awesome breakage, awesome setup. You are slowly selling me on Renoise. It's gonna happen eventually. I'm a bit more back to basics. Unexpanded Roland S750, Amiga A500 (PiStorm'ed and GoTek'ed though). Currently looking for some kind of KVM switch so I can use the mouse on my sampler (Only accepts Amiga mice). Come to think of it, would love to see a video on exactly that, if you have similar gear in storage.

    This method works great! Thanks so much for sharing your process. It helped me massively :) This is a great alternative to using Translator 7 and a cheaper option. I used wine to install Awave on my M1 mac following this video - ua-cam.com/video/pC7CNiRoo5I/v-deo.html I used the wine-staging-9.13-osx64.tar.xz & it worked perfect with the demo of Awave. Also if anyone is having problems I strongly suggest you update your ZULU scsi to the latest firmware. My AKAI s1000 was playing back the files wierdly before I updated.

      @@quentinjames981 this is a fairly recent version of renoise. It’s probably not the latest. I just watched a video on the latest version - it still works the same for this this stuff. The hardest part about doing this on a mac is that you need wine (or some other windows emulation later) to run awave. I’ve not got awave running properly but it works just enough to do this loading and saving business.

    • @quentinjames981
      @quentinjames981 Місяць тому

      ​@@Samplers Thanks for clarifying about renoise. Awave seems to be running splendidly on your mac, are you using wine? I've messed with wine a few times for different reasons without much success. However unless I'm missing something, it should be possible to use renoise on my main laptop (macbook m1) to export the samples + .sfz, and then pop the SD card into a windows machine running awave, then back into the S3000 (ZuluSCSI) right? Might try make room for a small windows laptop in that case. Also - how does akaiutil handle volumes (e.g. hd 0950.iso) with multiple partitions, do you get control over which partition to affect? Cheers

      @@quentinjames981 yeah I’m using wine. It’s not running splendidly but will open and save - the main things I need. You saw GroovingInG’s post here - sounds like he might have things better configured with wine. Also, as you suggest it is totally possible to jump over to a windows box for awave. The fewer steps the better though! Note all of these programs run on windows. It’s a option to do the whole process there.
