Emax

Sure, the next version supports Akai S1000->WAV conversion, and also 
the other way around.

It just doesn't support Akai S1000->Emax yet (Emax->Akai S1000 
however will be supported).

Akai features in v2.00 are:
- reading/writing/formatting Akai S1000 Floppy disks (HD and DD, but 
I'm having problems with DD disks, so the DD-disk support will be 
an "unverified" feature :-)
- reading/writing includes: S1000 sample files, S1000 program files 
and S1000 operating system files (not drumfiles)
- Akai S1000 Sample <-> WAV conversion
- Emax I/II -> Akai S1000 programs/samples conversion
Akai CD's/Zip disks will not be supported (yet).

I'm doing final tests on the akai features, still finetuning some 
parameter translations like envelope settings and filter settings. 
But it's already being used in my studio and it looks fine :-)

By the way: the very same V2.00 will also include support for reading 
Emax CD's or any other type of Emax HD. I'm putting it into EMXP 
right now :-)

Version 2 will probably be released within 2 weeks...
