6 Any audio files imported will be stored within a folder which matches the name of the
Volume. This folder is created within the Logic > AKAI Samples folder. The Sampler
Instrument(s) created by the import procedure matches the Program name(s). It is
placed inside the Sampler Instruments folder, or a sub folder as determined by the Save
converted instrument file(s) into sub folder parameter discussed in “AKAI File
Organization” on page 116.
Note: Should you wish to convert an entire AKAI CD ROM, click on the Convert entire CD
button found to the lower right of the AKAI Sample Import window.
Sub-folders named after the Volume are created when converting a partition. If a
Volume only contains one program, no sub-folder is created. Sub-folders named after
the Partition are created when converting more than one Partition.
AKAI File Organization
In the following graphic, the AKAI-Strings folder contains several Volumes, which contain
Programs.
The VOLUME 002 folder contains four patches—BCL PT M F, BCL PT M, BCL PT ST F, and
BCL PT ST. The according Sampler Instruments are stored in the Sampler Instruments >
Akai-Strings > VOLUME 002 folder.
The audio files associated with these Sampler Instruments appear in the AKAI Samples >
VOLUME 002 folder.
When a Program is imported, these programs appear as Program.EXS in the Sampler
Instruments folder.
Sampler Instrument management works with AKAI samples imported from CD ROM, in
the same fashion as with other sample formats. Given the different file structures used
by many AKAI format discs, however, you should take care to follow these guidelines.
• Create a shortcut to any folder on your hard disk/s which contains your AKAI sample
library (or where you wish to store it). Name the shortcut “AKAI Samples” and all
converted AKAI CDs/samples will automatically be saved in this destination folder.
The “AKAI Samples” shortcut must be placed within the Sampler Instruments folder.
