This way, you can load and audition all of an AKAI CD-ROMs programs and files within
Logic. Later, at your convenience, you can make use of your operating system’s file
management utilities to remove or reorganize your imported AKAI sounds, as
discussed in “File Organization” on page 107.
To convert AKAI files
1 Select Options > AKAI Convert. This will launch a window similar to that shown above,
with the text “Waiting for AKAI CD” spread across the four columns.
2 Insert an AKAI format sample disc into your CD-ROM drive and the AKAI Import
window will commence reading the data. Following the reading of the CD-ROM, the
display will update to show the contents of the CD-ROM. The Partition column will
display information, with Partition A, Partition B (and so on) entries listed.
Note: Reading of a CD-ROM may take some time, dependent on the amount of sample
data and file structure of the disc. In addition, the speed of the CD-ROM mechanism,
bus speed, memory, and other factors can affect performance.
3 To view the contents of the Partitions, click once on the appropriate entry with the
mouse button. This will display the Volume information contained within the Partition.
4 To continue through the architecture of the CD ROM, click on the Volume entries to
view any Programs contained therein, and on the Program entries, to view the raw
audio files (samples).
5 Once you have made your selection of Partition, Volume or Program, click on the
Convert button beneath the appropriate column. The selected Partition, Volume or
Program will be imported along with all associated audio files.
