Make sure your ASPI layer is installed correctly and you may need to place a copy of WNASPI32.DLL in the SMDIXfer folder.

If you receive could not load SMDI.dll error, make sure your ASPI layer is working properly.
You may need to drop a copy of WNASPI32.DLL in the same folder as SMDIXfer if running anything above Wndows XP.

Hello dear sir, great website you got here, i have a question about the program SMDIXfer
I use it a lot from XP pc,
Now i will use it from another XP pc and it does not start, it says:
“could not load SMDI.dll” this seems strange to me, do you have any idea what is causing this, and/or do you know forums
where i can best ask this.
Thanks in advance, Dian from the Netherlands

Hi martin,

Great website, a valuable source of information.

Please can you tell me how to set up the A5000 to receive samples over midi? Im having trouble working it out.

Thanks!

Shame it just names the files MIDI000x. When you’ve got 255 waveforms to save, editing the names by scroller isn’t really feasible.

In reply to g777g.

maybe you have sysex filter anabled on akai?
or its something with your midi interface

I don’t have idea why it is not working. Maybe akai s2800 has cuted smdi protocol, but i don’t think so.

I have s3000xl and works very good.

Cheers for this Martin you are quite awesome as this saves me having to dig out my old copy of recycle! This is perfect for sending over my sounds made with 303emu using my amiga emulator.

hi, i got the s2800 and i have exactly the same problem has imon uba.

my midi monitor is blinking too ( with the red led ), but after when i click on “edit sample” i see dont see my sample.

for the sample in c6 prog, i put a short snare in mono 16 bit with .wav format is that what i need to do?

“make sure that you don’t have any midi filters enabled on akai”

you want to say make sure u dont have any midi filters disabled instead of what u said no?

anyway i try without and with filters an no change for me so if somebody have another solution
