Import multi from akai z8 (akm files)

Post by totoetlititi »

Hi all !

I'm trying to import an akm file (from an akai z8) in Machfive 2 (in osx 10.4.11), but I have this problem : "INVALID PROGRAM Couldn't load preset file 'blabla.akm'".
This multi is a bundle (or something like it) of different porgrams (akp files). I can read and import all akp files in MachFive, without problem.

Is Machfive able to read this file type ?
Do you know some tips to import this file ?

Thanks !

I read this, and an akai z8 is similar to an akai s5000...

Does Machfive read the akm film ?

I think that, generally speaking, MachFive reads preset files of other formats (like akp) but not multi or performance files (like akm).
