Hi Elmacaco
I urge you to join the Translator forum and give your amount of pressure to the Translator folks on the thread regarding 'E2,3,3x support' dated 09-23-2005 04:14 PM which also contain the Emax, and Emax II conversion wish:
http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30
For everyone else who would like to have the conversion to and from the Emu samplers join in and give your thoughts and pressure on this thread too. We need the conversion and unless the Translator folks see a large public interest in this conversion it might never happen.
Best regards
Brian alias Emu_man in the Translator forum

I've been praying for such a program since I got my Emax. I don;t think Translator supports Emax I files and it may never do so.
Sign me up for beta test duties as well, I love the emax and being able to use the computer with it would be such a blessing.
Thanks for doing this man.

Wow, I am definitely interested in your program. Kudos on your determined efforts. If you need any beta testers, just let me know.
thanks,

As far as I know there isn't. I looked everywhere, and also read the
message archive of this site: the only thing that seem to exist is
the EMX program, but that program doesn't care about the *contents*
of an EMAX disk image, it just loads and unloads the images on PC.
I'm also pretty sure that writing EMAX disk images directly to a ZIP
disk from PC is impossible. EMX is limited to floppy disks, and no
other software for reading / writing EMAX images exists (except
perhaps Translator from Chicken systems).
Chicken systems Translator 2.9 seems to support Emax finally (they
were working on that for a long time :-) but it doesn't work properly
on my computer... You can use it however to browse all .em1 files on
your harddisk and see what presets (their names).
Because I had the same problem a while ago, I started working on a
(simple) program that can read the EMX floppy disk images and that
can produce & store HTML files reporting everything which is on the
disk (i.e. all presets, all parameters such as filter & envelope
settings, spectrum synthesis parameters, sequences, WAV-converted
samples, and so on). It will be a kind of a PC-librarian program for
EMAX sound banks, but a very simple one with almost no features -
even no GUI, only HTML :-)
Of course I needed the EMAX disk specification for that. This
specification however has never been published by E-mu Systems (again
as far as I know :-).
So I spent some evenings during the last couple of months to find out
the EMAX disk image layout by reverse engineering the whole thing.
That was fun ! Anyway, I just finished this.
So now I will start programming that little librarian program.
Maybe that kind of program would help ?

each disk into the sampler and then switching drives and resaving it
to the zip or HD takes forever! Is there a program that will let me
manage load the sounds into my computer and then manage them there
and put them on a SCSI Hard Drive or Zip? I tried Chicken systems
translator but, I couldn't seem to get it to work. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
