APPENDIX 2
WHEN USING A HARD DISK, THE ACTION OF KILLING A VOLUME APPLIES ONLY TO
THAT VOLUME. THIS IS NOT A FULL FORMATTING PROCEDURE. WHEN YOU SEE
THE PROMPT, USE
EVERYTHING ON IT.
If you are at all apprehensive about 'killing' the hard disk volume, save to another empty
volume.
NOTE: If you think you will want to use this disk again in an S1000 or S1100, you are
advised to save the S3000XL data to a different S3000XL formatted floppy disk unless
you have software for the S1000/1100 that can read S3000XL disks.
An S1000/S1100 cannot directly read sample and program data from an S3000XL but a
software version does exist for the S1000/S1100 that allows a certain degree of
backwards compatibility. Please contact your Akai dealer for information on this if you
want to use S3000XL sounds in an S1000 or S1100.
The S900 or S950 cannot read S3000XL sound data.
If you have an S3000 (or 2800 or 3200), you will be able to use S3000XL sample and
program data with no special software required (although it is advisable to have the latest
software version for best results).

EFFECTS FILES

If the S3000XL has the optional EB16 multi-effects board installed, this cannot use
effects files from the S1100, S3000 or S3200. Effects files created for the S3000XL's
optional multi-effects cannot be used in the S1100, S3000 or S3200.

MULTIS

An older Akai sampler cannot read the new generation of samplers' MULTI files.

ME-35T DRUM SETTINGS

The S3000XL can read ME-35T drum settings files created on an S1000, S1100 or the
S3000 series samplers..

SONGS AND QLISTS

As the S3000XL has no SMPTE function, Qlists created on an S1100, S3200 or
upgraded S3000 cannot be used. Song files (i.e. 'TL' files) created on an S1100, S3200
or upgraded S3000 can be used on the S3000XL, however.
