Osmosis - Sample Conversion Utility

Osmosis is an easy to use application for converting Akai and Roland format CD-ROM sample libraries to Unity DS-1 or SampleCell format, using any Macintosh or PC with a CD-ROM drive.

Osmosis has a single window that displays the Akai S1000 or S3000 CD partitions, banks, programs, and samples. Also, the entire disk directory can be saved to a text file. Conversion is accomplished by simply dragging the desired data to the hard drive. All multisample and program voicing parameter data is retained.

Samples can be auditioned directly from the CD, then transferred to hard disk in AIFF, Sound Designer II, WAVE, or Unity DS-1 format. Akai "Left/Right split' samples can be automatically merged into a true stereo file. Any Macintosh or PC CD-ROM drive (SCSI or IDE) can be used.

How does it work? Computers get confused by different format CD-ROMs other than what they're used to. PC's deal with PC formatted CD-ROMs and Macs deal with both Mac and PC formatted CD-ROMs. Stick in an Akai disk into your computer without Osmosis and your computer won't know what to do with it. It doesn't know how to 'speak Akai'.

Osmosis opens your computer up to the vast world of Akai and Roland sample disks, and makes the perfect companion Unity DS-1 or Sample Cell.
