Anyone still using AKAI S5/6000 and Ak.sys??

Post by aekoi »

I was thinking about digging out my S5000 and trying to get AKsys working again. Is anyone still using this set-up?

I had the excellent z8 but AK.SYS wouldn't work on 64bit, so I tried a virtual machine setup - Win7/64 + VM XP32 bit, it kept losing the USB connection and each time it did I had to reboot the z8, I gave up with it

As it happens though I still have loads of the s5000/z4/8 format programs, it was a great bit of kit, then TASCAM Gigastudio, followed by Kontakt came along and the last sample s/z series played was "Goodbye", the z4/8 came at the wrong time.
