Akai S2000 PC editor or transfer suggestions - MESA ?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro,rec.audio.tech (More info?)

Hi! Just wondering if anyone could suggest a few suitable audio editors for
sampling and editing sounds for my Akai S2000 sampler and more importantly
transfering them to the sampler? I've downloaded the Akai MESA 2 ver 2
software although haven't installed it yet as it says it only works on Win
98 or earlier. (Not WinXP correct?).
Can anyone give me other software suggestions that can do this or at the
very least transfer the samples I've edited in my existing software via scsi
(or disk) to the S2000?

Thanks

MT
