Hello,

saving 16bit Data to floppy is not recommended. Buy a removable media 
drive. Want to save only your 5 sounds ? Fatally Emax can only save 
BANK as a whole, no Preset or single sample. Workaround is to get rid 
of all the other sounds you Don´t want to have, then save your Preset
as a Bank to the medium. To avoid this always start from scratch when 
you start sampling.Then later you can at least LOAD a single 
Preset into whatever bank you want. This way you can later build new 
banks containing Presets of (for example)similar sounds,i.e. Drums. 
About Format: When you save to floppy, you better have some already 
formatted floppies, because FORMATTING A FLOPPY WILL ERASE ALL YOUR 
DATA !!!! If you forget this, all your work /new samples will be 
gone. Sad but true. Hope this helps. Regs RR
