Q:
In the manual, it says that the S3000XL can load material from other manufacturer’s hard disks. I have a Roland S760 but I get some problems when trying to load material from its hard disk into my S3000XL. The CD-ROM I have is OK but not the hard disk. What gives?
 
A:
When Akai did the compatibility software, it was assumed that the disk format for Roland CD-ROM and hard disk was the same, as this is the case with Akai samplers. It transpires that it is not and so, unfortunately, data stored on Roland format hard disks cannot be successfully loaded into Akai samplers equipped with this software (S3000 / S3200 V2.00 and S2000 / S3000XL / S3200XL).
