🎀 NAME

akaiextract — sneak samples out of AKAI disks 🦋 Extract audio samples from an AKAI media or AKAI disk image file.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

akaiextract SOURCE DESTDIR

💅 DESCRIPTION

okay so bestie, akaiextract is literally the tool you want 🫶 It reads an AKAI media (think a CDROM drive, a ZIP drive, or straight off an AKAI hard disk drive) or an AKAI disk image file, and then it pulls out every single audio sample as a .wav file and drops them into the output directory you pick. Not me being dramatic: if the output directory doesn't exist yet, it just makes it for you ✨ no cap, so iconic.

👑 OPTIONS

• SOURCE — the thing you're reading from 🔥
  • On Windows, this is the drive letter of the source disk drive.
  • On POSIX systems (Linux, Mac), this is the path to the input source. It can be an AKAI disk image file already sitting on your HD, or a disk drive path like '/dev/cdrom'.
  • On Mac, you can actually skip this argument 🙈 and it'll automatically access the CDROM drive at '/dev/rdisk1s0'.
• DESTDIR — where all the samples land 🧚 This is the output path the samples get extracted to. If the directory doesn't exist yet, it gets created for you.

🌈 AUTHOR

This program and its library are based on Sébastien Métrot's libakai. This is a fork of libakai and its tools, which is now also providing support for LINUX and other POSIX compliant operating systems. It does not have a dependency on libngl the way the original libakai did. The Linux port and man page were written by Christian Schoenebeck <cuse@users.sf.net> 🍓
