Many thanks for the infos! I'm not sure what caused the problem, perhaps the Windows operating system has set/removed some "compatibility flags/mode" etc. of the exe-file. Glad to hear that you found a way to get akaiutil running again, thanks for sharing your solution.

I recently struggled with a slight issue: After running akaiutil for a while using the standard command prompt I suddenly found I could no longer run it. I was getting an error message as follows: "The program cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software developer to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available." I tried several methods to make it run again but for a while could not overcome this issue. I have since overcome this...

P.P.S. I've just overcome the issue. Somehow the akaiutil.exe file had become corrupt in some manner. I have just replaced it with a freshly extracted version of the app and it now works as expected. This might help any other user who may encounter this issue. I still don't know what caused this to happen.
-
P.S. I've just noticed the error message begins with 'Unsupported 16-bit Application'... still not understanding why this has suddenly started happening, after running OK before.

What I fail to understand is that previously akaiutil was running fine in the command prompt window... so far I have not found any online resource which provides accurate information about this. I mean, is akaiutil a 32-bit application? If so, how was it possible for me to run it previously? What could have changed with the command prompt? All very frustrating...

Hi Michael, I just worked out that this is the case and after looking at the contents I see that I now have all the files in S1000 format within that image file. FYI I was able to mount the resulting image file as a virtual drive using Virtual CloneDrive. I also have the NI Kontakt software sampler and this recognises the resulting virtual drive! - which is exactly what I wanted. I can now see all the programs and samples within Kontakt! This is a truly excellent result and I cannot thank you enough...

Glad to hear that it works! The img-file which is specified as an argument for akaiutil ("backup.img" in the example above) is written to (or modified) by akaiutil (no separate img-file will be created by akaiutil).
-
Thanks Michael. I'd just worked that out myself and was changing my message above when you replied. It now works!! Thanks for that! Excellent! However, after quitting, I don't know where the image file has been written. I was expecting a separate image file. Is the data from the tar file written into the template file instead?

Scratch all that! I decided to try it on a spare hard disk. It seemed to work!!! so thanks for these instructions! However, after quitting, I don't know where the image file has been written.

Please enter "cd A" prior to "tarput x.tar" in order to change to partition A.
-
"akaiutil Template_512MB_S1000.img" would be a suitable img-file template, which needs to be copied and renamed to "backup.img". 1) The command "formathd1" creates a new, empty S1000 harddisk filesystem within the img-file. This command erases the previous contents of the img-file and creates new, empty partition(s) within the img-file. Please be careful with this command, in particular if you use akaiutil with a real harddisk or an SD-card. 2) The command "cd A" for akaiutil changes the current...

Scratch all that! I decided to try it on a spare hard disk. However, I ran into a problem when attempting the command "tarput track.tar". This doesn't seem to work. The name of my tar file is "x.tar", so I entered "tarput x.tar". This returned the following error: /disk0 > tarput x.tar PEACEBUBBLE/ partition does not exist tar error So I'm not sure what went wrong. It seems to see the contents of the tar file. PEACEBUBBLE is the name of the folder contained therein, but as you can see the 'partition...

Thanks Michael. That really helps. I've already achieved step 1). So I have a tar file. But I don't fully understand step 2) and safety is my first concern here, since I'm not familiar with the outcome of these various commands! I'm using Windows. Ideally, I'd like to make an ISO image which can be burnt to a CD later. I took a look at the image template file and it's not clear how I should use this. In the first command in step 2 "akaiutil backup.img" do I replace that with the name of the template...

Hi David, Many thanks for your message! Here is an example how one could use akaidatdecode in combination with akaiutil: 1.) Decode the S1000 DAT-backup track "track.wav" into a tar-file: Within the shell (command prompt): akaidatdecode track.wav verbose > track.txt This creates the files "track.tar" and "track.txt" (which contains infos). 2.) Import the tar-file into an S1000 harddisk image file "backup.img": If Linux: Within the shell create an img-file: dd if=/dev/zero of=backup.img bs=1024 count=61440...

Hi @kmi9000 Thanks for creating akaiutil and akaidatdecode. Like some others here I am struggling to find the correct commands... but I managed to successfully convert an akai DAT wave file to a .tar file using your akaidatdecode. This gave me a tar file comprising a folder containing all the program and sample files. I'd now like to burn these files to an Akai format CD which could be read by an S1000 or S3000 sampler - (or better still I'd like to be able to create an Akai format disk image from...

Dear KMI9000, It appears that loop points are not transferred from .wav to .s9 (and vice versa) They do work if I use Awave to convert from .wav to .s and then use EMXP to export to S1000 floppy image. Thanks for you great program.

Managed to sort the issue, I hadn't done the permissions right and it didn't like sudo. Had some help from ChatGPT, here it is for anybody with the same issue: The "permission denied" error you're encountering when trying to run the executable without sudo indicates that your user doesn't have the necessary permissions to execute the file. To resolve this, you can follow these steps:~~~ Check File Permissions: Confirm the current permissions on the akaiutil file by using the ls -l command: bash Copy...

Hi KMI, I'm having a problem getting akaiutil to run on mac, Big Sur. (didn't have any issues with the previous OS) but I just get this response: sudo: /Users/jackdriscoll/Desktop/akaiutil-4.6.7Darwin/akaiutil: command not found jackdriscoll@Jacks-Mac-mini ~ % I have enabled permissions for Terminal to have full disk access, and given the akai util permissions etc, but no luck. Any guidance on what I''m doing wrong would be much appreciated! Thanks and all the best, Jack

Perhaps, this could be solved by installing a suitable "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package". Hope this helps.

Hi am having trouble with windows xp, akaiutil is failing to start because "application configuration is incorrect" something on my system not set up properly probably, like missing plugin. not sure exactly how to sort it. thanks.

Hi, In order to find the physical drive number of the USB-ZIP-drive under Windows 10: * open the Command Prompt window * type "diskpart" * within diskpart, type "list disk", the physical drives are listed now and the connected USB-ZIP-drive should appear in the list * exit diskpart via "exit" The number shown by "list disk" above is the required physical drive number N for "akaiutil.exe -r -p N" (see previous message).

Hi Michael, Thanks for getting back to me! It seems to run ok in W10.. only thing is, the (usb) zip drive I’m using is coming up as the E: drive – not sure how to relate that to a physical drive number? I have 3 Zip 100mb cartridges formatted for Akai S3000 that I need to get the data from – I actually want to open it in my S3000XL, but no longer have a zip drive. A friend sent me a SCSI one which is what I needed, but it’s kaput and won’t spin up the disks. I found a USB one I borrowed, but of course...

Hi, I'm not sure if this works on Windows 10, but we can give it a try... First, you need to find out which physical drive number your connected USB-ZIP-drive has. Let's say it's number 2 in the following. Next, open a command line window (with administrator privileges) and change to the directory where "akaiutil.exe" resides (via the "cd" command, e.g. "cd c:\mydir"). Within the command line window type "akaiutil.exe -r -p 2", and in turn, akaiutil should start and should list information about...

Hi, I found your akaiutil program and downloaded it, but when I run it nothing seems to open? I'm on Windows 10 Home build 19044.1889 Is there a manual or some explanation on how to use this utility, other than the list of commands in the ReadMe file? I have a few Akai S3000 zip disks I'm trying to retrieve the data from, and have a working USB zip drive, but my PC won't recognise the Akai-formatted disks, so your utility would really help, if I could figure it out. Thanks in advance! nG

For example, if you would like to copy all files from the volume "MYSRCVOL" of partition "B" of the source img-file "sourceiso.img" to the destination img-file "myfloppy.img" in S3000 floppy format: 1.) copy "Template_Floppy1600KB_S3000.img" to "myfloppy.img" (Note: please choose the floppy template img-file which is suitable for your system) 2.) start akaiutil via "akaiutil sourceiso.img myfloppy.img" (Note: now, "sourceiso.img" is "disk0", and "myfloppy.img" is "disk1" within akaiutil) 3.) within...

Hi there Michael Many thanks again for the assistance - sorry for all the questions - but just cant quite figure out the correct commands So the Gotek (USB drive) requires an .img file I have your template and have extracted the zip so I have: Template_Floppy1600KB_S3000.img - and I can mount this (/dev/disk7s0) and access via akaiutil I can access the ISOs I have donwloaded with all the samples etc - and I can extract these to a local folder (either as the raw data or .wav files). I can also mount...

Glad to hear that it works! For the conversion of samples/programs into a format which can be used with a floppy-emulator, an external tool is possibly required. Depending on the floppy-emulator type/firmware, an hfe-file (instead of an img-file which akaiutil can handle) has to be created and has to be written to the filesystem on the USB-stick. If the floppy-emulator can handle img-files directly, one could copy the samples/programs into a suitable template floppy-img-file via akaiutil, and in...

OK thanks! the 'getall' is now working - thanks very much Quick question you may be able to answer.. I have downloaded some ISOs of old sample CDs What I want to do is extract these samples/programs etc into a format that I can then put on a USB and load via my Gotek in S2800. Is there a comand/comands that will achive this? Or how can I do this? Many thanks for any further info - really appreciate your time. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your feedback! I have uploaded a new version of akaiutil, and the "getall" command should be functional now. If you would like to export all files of all volumes, you could also try the "target" or "targetwav" commands. Best regards, Michael

Love this utility. Great for getting data off S950 SCSI volumes. It seems there is no software to generate .s9/.p9 files but at least the S950 can read .s1/.p1 when reading off floppy. Would love it if akaiutil did s1/p1 to s9/p9 conversion so I could forget the floppy interface. Thanks for your amazing work!

Hi Alain, Thanks for your feedback! The current version of akaituil cannot edit/create program files, sorry. I'm not sure if there are any free command-line tools which can edit/create program files for AKAI samplers (there are some commercial GUI-based tools, though). For "batch" operation, it is possible to redirect/pipe commands to stdin of akaiutil. For example, if "batch.txt" contains suitable commands for akaiutil, one can use "./akaiutil -f mydisk.img < batch.txt" in order to execute these...

Hello kmi9000! Thanks so much for developing a such useful set of tools ! I can now convert waves to S1000/S3000 sample format and transfer them to a storage that is readable by my hardware sampler, so cool ! :P Now, i have 2 questions : - I'm on Mac OSX (12.4), is there any possible way to pipe some commands to "akaiutil" ? Something like : "wav2s *.wav | akaiutil ./floppy_3000.img" (searching for a way to write bash script to automate stuff) Is akaiutil able to create/edit S1000/S3000 program files...

Hi Michael, thank you for the reply! :) Im starting to think this must be the case and since I dont have my AKAI sampler any more and I dont have a working DAT machine. I was hoping to correct the WAV but if the damage is done then I suppose thats useless? I will try and borrow a DAT machine again to redo the recordings :) I will also email you an example of the DAT backup WAV i have if thats ok? :) Thank you again for the help :) Kind regards Simon.

Thanks for your feedback! As for the tool "akaidatdecode", possibly something went wrong with the extraction of the PCM signal from your DAT backup tape. Please make sure that the PCM signal from the DAT recorder is transferred and saved as a WAV-file (16bit PCM, stereo) in a bit-transparent way, this is very important. (Unfortunately, some operating systems and/or audio drivers possibly introduce some kind of signal processing for the S/PDIF input signal, even with "neutral" settings, and this could...
