I just bought a Gotek plug and play drive on eBay from a company that specialises in all sorts of samplers and hardware. Just let them know what your kit it you want the drive for and they do the rest. Got a 16gb SD card included and pre formatted. They’re easy to install and work straight away. No formatting or SD card partitioning needed. They cost between £50-70 for the drives. Cost difference is for slightly larger screens. Worked like a charm in my Akai S5000 and S3000xl. Easy to install and once fitted are really easy to use AND can load large samples with no bother. 👍🏼 They even load a bunch of samples for you as well.
Gotek emulates a floppy drive which means your samples can't be larger than the size of the floppy. With scsi-sd or Zulu you can save files of any size. Much better solution.
@@ClaireSweets "Gotek emulates a floppy drive", but your program can span multiple disc, correct? ... and still save them? Has been a while since i toughed my sampler.
You sir are a god carnate. I've had a Zulu in my emu for a while. I'm writing to partitions fine but didn't figure how to add files from my pc. Thank you. Do you have a text script from these instructions? Thought it may help at getting powerscrpt stage.
Thanks for your video. Questions.. is it possible to get on the same microsd card main several akai ( s950,s1000,s3000,s5000 and mpc) samplers readable with multiple partions by translator and zuluscsi ? An all in one in fact. Thanks, Paulo
If you have Akai isos then do the following save yourself a headache and remove the file size limitations. Copy Akai ISO to sdcard change name of ISO to cd0 Put sdcard in Akai job done! You can have cd0,cd1,cd2,cd3,cd4,cd5,cd7 Skip #6 as that’s the device scsi id. 7 discs in total
thanx... pretty complicated, as u mentioned (i have done the installment for a mpc 2000 xl with an integrated zulu card, took me several days to get it working the way i want) do you use the free translator version or the pro one?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, you saved me a lot of headaches 😂😂😂
Keep going man!
Thanks for the Translator tips. I had been using a folder shortcut hack to get the zulu drives to appear in virtual drives.

@@AnalogDude_yes and they are also 100x slower. Zuluscsi is much better

With the s5000 I was able to create a single 128gb drive. Took ages, but worth it.
Cool video, very informative
Excellent info on this vid for Akai & Zulu user's alike kid's¡! thanx dude(s)

Phenomenal. Just got an mpc 3000 and trying to get it to work
Thank you, Steve, for these clear explanations. Will you drive a Volkswagen van for your vacation ?
That's the plan! Lol - thanks for watching

Not sure on this but I dont see why not if the partitions are formatted correctly. Let me know if you try it,
