Emax

Hi Marcelo,

EMXP requires that all images are put in a subdirectory called Images.
This directory is created automatically the first time you run the 
new EMXP software. Images located in the same directory as the one 
containing EMXPN.EXE are not detected by EMXPN. So I guess you simply 
have to move all your images to the Images subdirectory.

Note that option 1 manages "EMAX BANKS", not "EMX BANKS". EMX banks 
are managed by option 2.
EMAX Banks are new in this version of EMXP, they are the core images 
used by EMXP. EMX bank images are just images of floppy disks, while 
EMAX bank images contain the full sound bank. This is esp. useful for 
EMAX-II 16-bit banks which can take up to 16 floppy disks = 16 EMX 
images, but that only need 1 EMAX bank image.

Error 27 tells you that the .EM1 file is not a correct EMX *sound* 
bank image. All files in the Images subdirectory having an extension 
of .EM1 or .EM2 MUST be correct EMX S O U N D bank images. If 
an .EM1/.EM2 file is not an EMX S O U N D bank image, EMXP will show 
this error and won't continue.
Of course I don't know exactly what your SEUP.EM1 file really 
contains, but there are three possible causes for the error:
- SEUP.EM1 is a corrupt EMX sound bank image (this would mean that 
using one of the presets in an EMAX sampler can cause the EMAX 
sampler to crash while playing the instrument)
- SEUP.EM1 is an Operating System image (size about 260K). I forgot 
to mention this in the manual, but these images should NOT be put in 
the Images directory or should have an extension different from .EM1 
and .EM2...
- my rev. engineered EMX image specifications are wrong :-).

If you think your SEUP.EM1 file is a 100% correct SOUND image (not an 
OS image), please send it to me in a zip-file, so that I can 
doublecheck my specifications.

I hope this helps...
