What is the most up to date version of the SAMDISK utility
regardless of platform to use that will do the best job of
extracting samples? Mac, Windows? Which name and version software?
If I recall correctly, the SAMDISK would create an image file, then
you use the SAMDISK to open that image file and extract the samples,
is this correct? I'm asking because I figure I might as well archive
the image file. It is kind of amazing to realize that all 200 Roland
sample S-330 floppy disks will easily be able to fit on a single
CD-ROM (samples and image file), which costs less than what I paid
for a single floppy disk at the time I bought the sampler. :-)
there was a free app called Sampled (by Neurodancer) that read s50
and s330 disk directly and could extract the files.
may be too old to run under xp though.
Awave also does this and is free asd seems current
"The program also allows you read several disk format that can
normally not be accessed by Windows, including formats used by AKAI
S-1000 CD's, AKAI S-3000 CD's, Roland S-5xx and S-7xx series CD's and
floppy disks, Kurzweil "native" format CD's, and normal Audio CD's.
