This is a new era of SCSI-capable solid-state memory card solutions for your hardware sampler. This is the ZuluSCSI v6.4 board, almost functionally identical to the SCSi2SD v6.0 board, with an compact, sturdy, external case. It comes with your choice of SCSI cable, a regular-sized 32GB/16GB SD card, completely set up for your sampler/host to your specifications from the factory.
What makes ZuluSCSI special is that it has the ability to access up to seven SCSI ID's; so it's really (7) drives in ONE UNIT! This enables better use of the images on the SD card - more efficient, faster access.
Important: this ZuluSCSI (v6.4) is not image-based like the other ZuluSCSI models. It works just like the SCSI2SD paradigm, especially the v6.0 methods. It access data directly off the SD card (not via images), set up via a configuration utility you run on a computer. Also, and better yet, it functions as a Super SD Card Reader for a computer, so you can access the SD card from the computer AND the SCSI host at the same time. Each SCSI ID shows up as a separate volume/drive letter on the computer. This way, there's no need to shuttle the SD card to the computer to access it for editing and change.
Compatibility
The quality ZuluSCSI v6.4 Internal Drive works with every host we know of; however, we only recommend computer-compliant sampler/hosts (otherwise, it's best to use the regulator ZuluSCSI). "Computer-compliant" means hosts that use file-system that are readable via the computer - usually FAT16 or FAT32. These include the following but not limited to:
- Akai S5000, S6000, MPC4000, Z4, Z8
- Emu Emulator 4 Ultra-class, running EOS 4.7
- Kurzweil K2000/K2500/K2600/2661
- Ensoniq ASR-X
- Yamaha Motif, RS7000
- Korg Triton
- Almost all SCSI-equipped hardware DAW's (e.g. Akai DPS24)
Lastly, and only pertinent to the Hardware DAW's, ZuluSCSI v6.4 outperforms regular ZuluSCSI by about 50%. This makes it more compatible with hardware DAW's.
Comes ready to plug-and play! Included:
- External Case with a full-size ZuluSCSI v6.4 board inside with a DB25 female SCSI port
- SD card, setup into at most 7 ID's, with the images of the sampler of your choice
- ~3ft or ~6ft SCSI Cable; DB25, CEN50, and MDB50 types available
- If needed, back plug for external 5v power with included wall wart
- 4 rubber feet to optionally put on bottom
- 1-year limited warranty
If you have two samplers, you can share the ZuluSCSI with them using our optional 2-way or 4-way SCSI Switcher, which comes with two more SCSI cables along with the one that comes standard.
