List of special I/O formats

---

The vast majority of formats that Awave Studio supports can be handled as normal files using Windows. However, a few hardware synthesizers use disk formats and/or file systems that are not compatible with Windows and can not be accessed in a normal manner. The program can directly read the following 'special' formats by communicating directly with the hardware and directly interpreting the file system and/or disk formats:


• Audio CD's (a.k.a. digital CD-ripping).
  
  
• AKAI S950 format CD's.
  
  
• AKAI S1000 format CD's.
  
  
• AKAI S3000 format CD's.
  
  
• Ensoniq EPS 16+ and ASR-10 format CD's.
  
  
• Kurzweil K2000 / K2500 / K2600 "native format" CD's.
  
  
• Kurzweil K2X00 "ISO-9660 compatible" CD's.
  
  
• Roland S-7xx series CD's.
  
  
• Roland S-5xx series floppy disks.
  
  
• Roland S-7xx series floppy disks.
  
  
• Send/receive samples over a MIDI cable using "SDS".
  
  
• Send/receive samples over a SCSI cable using "SMDI".
  
  
• Interchange samples with other Windows applications using the clipboard.
  
  
The following formats can not be read directly. However, you can use 3^rd party utilities to create "floppy disk image" files that it can then read:


• AKAI S900/S950/S1000/S3000 series floppy disks: Use OmniFlop to create disk image.
  
  
• Ensoniq EPS, ASR, et c, floppy disks: Use OmniFlop to create disk image.
