I hear you.
I also actually do that though.
I've just started sampling again, I used to be very into it way back I the day.
I started doing it before I saw others akso doing it online.
Let me explain my reasoning for it.
I'm sampling breaks from vinyl (1210 mk2+ Rega Pre).
I want my signal path to go record player > S950 input > S950 output > best audio interface I can afford to DAW.
But... I also want to chop my samples in recycle or something similar.
So I came to the conclusion everyone else does it seems.
I decided to intercept the data from the S950 after sampling in then transfer that via sd to the PC.
Thus way I'm not affecting the signal path. If I sampled again back to the computer id be adding to many conversions and I don't trust audio interfaces that much.
I'm only happy with one conversion to the audio interface. I'm not going to go back and forth between samplers and the interface. I belive this has the potential to degrade the sample quality in a negative way.
So I save the break to an SD via zulu, lotharek or whatever depending what sampler I'm using and I open that data in the PC edit it (chop thd break) then send it back to the sampler via data on the SD card, I do not resemble as then I'd get double input and 2 unessecary ad da conversions via the interface.
If that makes sense?
That's why I do it. So I'm also assuming that's why everyone else doing it does it too. Because ofcourse you could judt sample back to the computer and then sample back to the sampler again, dam you could line up 50 devices and sample through all of the totally destroying your sample beyond recognition ofcourse.
Also regarding this, there are certain tools for doing this with an Akai (even specifically the S950), Akai Util and so on. Akai formats are so synonymous that Renoise, Wave and other affordable software heavily support the formats.
I'm actually not aware of being able to do this with such ease on a Roland, or Korg or Yamaha or whatever.
This is another reason I like Akai, there's even an app to use the data port on all S950 as a SCSI and it transfer samples at least 20x faster than midi dump. You just don't get this for other brands legacy devices.
I do like the sound of the early Akais, but these quality of life hacks are a major win and tbh a lot of this is extremely difficult to impossible with other samplers.

If you mean you could chop on the S760 then resemble the chops, well yeah but I'd rather use a better sampler chopping software.
Recycle 2.0 (I think?) on an ancient PC, or lappy with SCSI is also good but I dont currently hage thus set up and it's an extra big ass PC for no real reason. My power plug x8 extension is already full and requires swaps. This is already a fire hazard, last thing I need is more PC's and monitor thst require more plugs and stuff. As I'll fall asleep and it'll all catch fire and end me sooner or later if I go that path in my bedroom. Multiple rack samplers, a mixer, monitors and about 10 other peices of gear is already ridiculous. My electricity bill is already quite high. Just a guitar amp costs about £70 a month electricity if I play every night.
