Akai has software on their website called aksys. Once you connect the sampler 
via usb to the computer, you can access its functionality through that 
software. I've very briefly messed with the program, but i seem to be able to 
navigate through it using the jaws cursor. my unit is with a friend of mine 
right now because he's transfering some files for me from one scsi drive to the 
one i installed in the unit. i should have the unit back within a week or so 
and can continue testing the software.

        Hi Steve,

        I'm actually looking for decent libraries for my akai unit. This is the 
first time I've eexperimented with akai, so i'm new to it. I know the software 
I mentioned gives a user total access to the hardware sampler once it's 
connected via USB to the computer. We'll just have to see how accessible it is 
with jaws. I'll know more in the coming weeks and will keep anyone interested 
updated.

          Hi Omar,

          What's the saxophones and trumpets like on Akai samplers? are they 
better 
          than the ones on dimension Pro?
          got my horns section sounding quite good yet, it's still the weak 
link in my 
          songs.

          I'd love to be using the samples found below however, don't believe 
they are 
          accessible.

          Just enter on the link below go to MP3's, press enter on one of them, 
now 
          press cursor key and arrow up or down until you hear jaws say, "No 
          information available" press right mouse key and press enter. The MP3 
should 
          then play.
          These samples are amazing.

          Speaking of Akai, I just picked up an older akai s6000. Akai has
          software on their site which enables users to work with the sampler
          through windows. Software is called the aksys software. I've briefly
          messed around with it with jaws, and it seems okay as far as
          accessibility, although I had to use the jaws cursor for the most
          part. Has anyone else messed with the software? If so, any feedback?
