1) In Track-at-Once mode:

You can burn the songs to CD in any order, either from a single Project containing multiple songs or

from multiple Projects.

The songs will appear on the CD in the order that you write them to CD.

* Load a Project

* Select a Song (use Region: IN<>OUT if there are multiple songs in the same Project; you can use

Region: ALL if there is only one )

* Write (F5) it to CD

* Select the next Song (from the same Project with different IN-OUT points or from another Project)

* Write it to CD

(there will be an automatic 2 seconds silence between each Song)

*Repeat until all Songs are written to CD

* FINISH (F6) the CD.

2) In Disk-at-Once mode:

* Prepare a Master stereo Project with all the songs arranged in the order that you want them on the

CD, with or without silence between songs (same as a playlist). (This is usually achieved using

copy/paste editing)

* Store locate Memories at the start of each Song, except the first one (i.e., starting from Song 2) to

mark CD Track IDs, using a "#" as the first character of the locate Memory name.

* WRITE CD (it will be automatically Finished)

Aksys – What is it?

Aksys is Akai's software made to run with,. network and expand their products. Specifically, we are

talking about the version for the DPS24. The software is free and available as a download from the

Akai website and it's being expanded (currently on V1.1) as a separate platform..ie, there are

separate upgrades for Aksys as well as the DPS itself. Presently, Aksys provides a comprehensive

overview of the DPS' status having a full meter bridge (an excellent one at that), track status and

naming, time display, scrolling waveforms across all tracks, locate points ("now" time), drag to define

regions, a duplicate of the transport controls (making the keyboard in effect a remote transport), and

a whole bunch of other stuff...all on a single well laid-out screen (no paging through menus). There

has been talk of being able to run VST plugin’s via Aksys at some point in the future, making the

computer a giant external FX device also. Thankfully, I don't believe the software is headed towards

becoming a full-fledged recording app, but rather an extension of the functions already available

within the DPS itself. You can change screens on the DPS and still always have the Aksys screen

running so the amount of visual information displayed is comprehensive.
