How To Import Akai Samples
Note: The ASR-10 can only read Akai SCSI Storage Devices that have been formatted
with a sector size of 512 bytes (the default). Any Akai device that has been formatted
to a size other than 512 bytes, will not be recognized.
When DEVICE TYPE=AKAI, pressing (ENTER-YES) will display the following page:
INST STOP

This parameter is used to select the Akai format SCSI Storage Device. Use the
(p)
and
a
buttons and/or the Data Entry Slider to set this to match the ID number of the SCSI Storage
Device. Pressing CENTER-YES) will perform the following functions:
1.
The ASR-10 will check to see if SCSI is installed, and if the selected Load Device exists. If
SCSI is not installed, or if the selected Load Device does not exist, an error message will be
displayed, and the command will be aborted.
2.
The ASR-10 will check to see if the selected Load Device is a valid Akai format SCSI Storage
Device. If the selected Load Device is invalid/unformatted, an error message will be
displayed, and the command will be aborted.
3.
The ASR-10 will check to see if there is enough free memory to load the directory from the
selected Akai format SCSI Storage Device. There must be a minimum of 300 free blocks
available in memory (required for transferring data). If there is not enough free memory to
load the directory, an error message will be displayed, and the command will be aborted.
4.
If SCSI is installed, and the selected SCSI Storage Device exists and is valid, the ASR-10 will
mount the selected Load Device. (The original current Storage Device will be restored when
the command is exited, if it exists and is a valid ASR-10 Storage Device; if it is no longer
valid, the current Storage Device will be reset to FLOPPY when the command is exited.) The
following page will be displayed:
