Re: EMAX II Library files

2005-11-13 by esynthesist

Wow, thanks for putting effort in this and making available the 
libraries to the community !

About the "crash of my EMAX": most of the EMAX-I files are perfect 
indeed ! In fact I'm using quite a lot of them every day :-)
 
It's just a few of them I have trouble with (e.g. ZD750, ZD789, ...): 
my EMAX-II can load them perfectly, I can even choose some presets 
and play them, but some other presets have "strange names" and the 
display shows weird characters both in the first and the second 
display line. When I want to play those presets or try to change some 
parameters of them, EMAX-II sometimes hangs after a few seconds.
I encountered these problems while I was programming the emaxlib 
software and wanted to use all ZD-images for testing purposes.

I will check if I have the same problem when I compress them with my 
own EMAX-II. I'll let you know !
