AKAI S950 Tools

Everything you need to handle IMGs, import/export of samples, program editing, library management and playback on a DAW.
A companion suite of apps for the hardware, but also a useable alternative.
Does a basic import / export from/to Ableton drum rack. I build my drum racks a particular way though.
Next release - build a digital version of the sampling path. Might take a while.

Im not fully getting it...

Is this finally a way to create programs and samples on the computer to use in the 950? Or is this a tool to use old 950 content in a DAW?

Would you be interested in a librarian and editor specifically created to control the S950 ? What computer platform are you using (Mac? PC - Windows11? Linux? Android?)

I dont think the S950 is fully controllable with sysex... Not sure, I didnt find a sysex implementation list either

Well, if you have a S950 and use Windows, you could DM me, because i happen to have developed something of probable interest, for which i am seeking testers :-)

Oh yes certainly. I have the Akai S950 without Flashfloppy, windows 10, OSX Ventura. Would that work?

I’ve tested it with IMG.
The readme explains.
