Hello! I found out something really interesting!!! 

You can read the Samples from the Yamaha Sampling CD's using only a Computer, no axk, and a program which can read raw Samples, such as SoundForge!!!!!

How to do it:

1. insert the CD in your Computer CD drive (IDE or SCSI)

2. start SoundForge (Wavelab doen't work ):  )

3. select FILE ->OPEN...

4. go onto CD, go in first maindirectory (Partition),

   go into a Folder called Fxxx (Volume),

   go into Folder called Smpl (Folder for Samples contained in this Volume)

   !!! SELECT filetype: Raw File (*.raw,*.*) !!!

   open a File called Fxxx

5. now the interesting & important stuff

   select:

   Samplerate (you can choose  )

   16-bit PCM (Sampler doesn't support 8 bit, right?)

   Stereo / Mono (gotta try it out, depends on sample I guess)

   Format: Signed

   Byte Order: Big endian (Motarola ->remember, it's a motorola based system?)

   Header: Try it out for several samples until you get no header anymore and no zero space

                before Sample starts but it should be cut right (only have to find that out once,

                then this value will not change!!!)

               - must be an even number, odd will shift the format and thereby mess the sample up ->noizee

               - set value to 506

               ->the header is used to tell us Samplerate, Fileinfo, Bitrate...

   Tailer: 0

   Press OK

6. believe it !

if it sounds funny, try to open it at different samplerate, if it's noisy, switch mono/stereo when opening (sorry, only the raw Sample, no EG, FX..., but still, that gives you access

to all samples on the CD ) So Sound Forge will remember these settings and off you go with processing your favourite Yamaha Sampling CD's in your computer and SMDI them to your Axk, or load them up in your soundcard, sequencer, Fruity, Acid ++++ lots more. This is quite a big step!!!! (I guess you could load up the samples in wavelab by renaming them to *.pcm or *.raw, too) Try it and feel the potential use of it! Enjoy
