So I got given this remix 16 the other day I know its old (released in '96) but im grindin right now so im gonna have to wait for the mpc ect. I would say it works properly but I aint got a clue because i cant even get as far as loading a sample. Apart from that the LED is working as well as the sound. Here's the problem...
When I insert a floppy disk with samples and try to load them up I can't, instead of reading AL-1 or whatever it should say, the LED reads, "nofo". I searched google and aint findin anything if one of you could enlighten me that would be good

maybe ur disk or samples are the wrong format?

wow... you're really taking me back.
I remember selling these things when they came out and I almost bought one for myself to replace the Roland JS-30 I had at the time.
IIRC, they only read Akai format samples from the S1000/S1100, S900, S2000, and possibly the S01. The SCSI port (if yours has it) will allow you to load Akai format samples from a SCSI CDROM drive and I think the SCSI Zip100's are supported to save samples. If yours is stock, then it only has 2MB of RAM for samples, spring for a 16MB 72 pin SIMM on Ebay to get more sample time. I don't believe it samples at CD quality either, 32KHz is the best you'll get out of it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. MIDI means you can connect it to your PC/MAC and control it from a sequencer.
IIRC, "nofo" means the disk isn't formatted ("not formatted"). -
Thanks for that brudda, i have the disks no and im about to take em to my bois yard to turn them into akai format, if i format the disks on the machine right now would that delete the files?

also, make sure your fam has an older Akai unit to format that disk. S1000, S2000, S3000 or something like that -

Yeah i seen that on youtube, i tried to convert those wavs via the akai disk, but i think I might need an akai floppy instead of an odinary one because akai disk won't read the disc, am i right?
