So that's the status and a happy ending for now.

Re Tim Casey's last post, the link he sent for the S900 and the 2000 are appreciated but once again, they have standard floppy drives and the S612 is that 2.8' Quick Disk format.

And the issue of backing up the disks to the Mac is one worth looking into long term although only PC software seems available for this. Meanwhile I am still going to try and fix the other disk drive.

So, always check out eBay! And, I guess there is still another one they did not sell, in case any of you are interested. Any type of sound can be tuned to a designated pitch by transposing it by a half step.

You can also download samples via SYSEX to a MIDI librarian. You can continuously build your own tone sample library with the specially designed Sampler Disk Drive MD280. I won the auction and now am (with great relief) anticipating the arrival in a few days of my Salvation. 'Save' and 'load' procedures are extremely quick.

I also arrived at the decision that a replacement sampler was the best move for the moment, and did an eBay search yesterday morning and discovered someone auctioning 2 brand new, still-in-the-plastic-in-the-box Akai 612s w/Disk Drives, with just a few hours left 'til closing after 10 days of being for sale and no bidders as yet, for a starting bid of $180.

I will try to find another one to buy for back up but ANY guidance from my fellow Tape-Opers will be GREATLY appreciated.Īgain, thank you for all the energy you folks have put into thinking about this.we all know how vulnerable we are to the fragility and obsolescence-inevitability of most of the gear we depend on, so we need each other's expertise and help and we are lucky to have this forum. By the way the floppies these drives use are not standard size. I am looking for one to buy also, for back up and in case mine is not fixable. The samples I use are custom made and irreplaceable. I have posted a request for repair advice in the 'Off-Topics' forum for my MD 280 Disk Drive that works with my Vintage Akai S612 Sampler. For those of you who would know, is this good advice, or should I stick with someone who knows how the sampler and the disk drive work together? One place I was referred to here by West LA Music said they only repair the samplers and told me to call a computer repair center, since the issue was the floppy drive. I have been calling around trying to find out where the heck to take these boxes in for service. It is not a problem with the disks themselves. It sounds like a mechanical issue with the disk drive and not a sampler problem. As of 2 days ago I am unable to use it because the MD280 Disk Drive that loads the disks is stuck in 'load' mode and is making a different noise then it usually does in the loading process. You can hear some of my tracks at One of my favorite resources is my old Akai S612 sampler, which I've had since the late 80's.
