Getting Emax II samples into a Mac

2004-05-21 by Heather Perkins

(I almost deleted all the "im sad dam" posts because I thought they 
were Spams using "I'm Saddam" as a tagline--funny!)


I am coming into the forum with a problem - I have a ton of old Emax II 
floppies full of smaples, but no Emax II.  I'm on a Mac. I want to get 
my old sample banks transferred or converted in some usable way--WAV, 
.aif, whatever.

I have heard that there are Windows/PC utilities that can transfer EMAX 
II sample banks from an EMax formatted floppy to a PC. Can anyone help 
me? There are some internet cafes and such around here that have older 
PCs, so I should be able to find one with a floppy drive and internet 
access to download the needed apps.

I suppose, failing all this, I could just find someone in town with an 
Emax II and transfer the sounds some other way. Any ideas on that? 
(short of just re-sampling them with an audio connection, which I think 
I can figure out myself)

I am just starting my search, but there are some sounds I created in he 
past that I would love to have access to.

Thanks!

PS - If there are any people on this list that have an Emax II and are 
based in Portland OR, let me know.
