  Subject: [emax] EMAX bank reader - alpha version released


  Hi,

  A few weeks ago I promised to release an alpha version of my 
  EMAX "librarian" software during the last week of October.
  Well today is the day :-) You can find the program in the files 
  section, named "Emaxlib_v0_01_1_alpha.zip".

  Please read the README.TXT file or the EMAXLHLP.HTML file after 
  unzipping the package: these files explain how to install the 
  software.
  Don't run the executable EMAXREAD.EXE. Read the installation 
  instructions first and then use your browser to use the software.

  A few words on this version:
  - It's an alpha release, meaning it has to be tested thoroughly yet, 
  and some features still have to be added.
  - The software MUST be run in a 32-bit Windows environment.
  - The software does't read the disk(drive)s themselves, only the disk 
  images. So create the images first with EMX !
  - It has only been tested with:

  * own banks created on EMAX II samplers only;
  * ZD banks downloaded from the internet, which are EMAX-I banks.

    Test results:

  * It worked 100% correct with my own banks (both 16-bit EMAX II and 
  compressed EMAX II);
  * It was also pretty succesful with the ZD-banks (80% OK), but it 
  crashed on 26 of them. However, my EMAXII hardware sampler also 
  crashed on them :-) so I don't know if it's a software problem or an 
  image problem.

  My experience shows that some EMAX-banks can be rather "dirty". E.g. 
  my program sometimes reports empty samples, but that's because there 
  really are empty samples in the bank...

  For more information: see the included helpfile.


  I would really appreciate feedback on this version, especially from 
  EMAX(1) users. You can email me on my yahoo account.

  Don't get angry if the software crashes on your first bank :-). Just 
  let me know the problem and e-mail me the image on which it crashed. 
  So that I can solve the problem and release a more stable version.

  If the feedback indicates major problems with EMAX-1 banks, I will 
  try to buy an EMAX-1 sampler and do some further investigation myself.


  Thanks & have fun.
