Emax

Hi all

The new version of EMXP has been released.
As always it's a beta-edition, because the testing cycle was too 
short to call the software 100% mature and reliable.
It's up to you guys (girls) to do further testing...

Some of the new features in v2.00 (besides bugfixing...):
- Conversion from Emax I/Emax II to Akai S1000 (caution: not the 
other way around yet)
- Read/write/format Akai S1000 floppy disks
- Automatic sample rate conversion, e.g. any 16-bit mono/stereo WAV 
can be translated to Emax now
- All Emax removable harddisks and CD-ROMs should be supported now, 
well, at least in READ-mode. Of course Emax ZIP disks are also still 
supported.
- Conversion between Akai S1000 samples and WAV
- An easier way to select multiple items at once in any EMXP window 
(called the "M"ark function)

The software can be found in the files section:

OK I admit this one is a little bit focussed on Akai S1000.
Not that I really love that sampler, but it's an industry-standard 
sampler so I thought it would be a good idea to support conversion 
from Emax to Akai (and later also the other way).
This could be a bridge between the Emax format and any other sampler, 
since other (commercial) translators will at least always support 
Akai S1000 :-)

But don't worry, in the future the focus will be vintage EMU again. 
E.g I'd love to be able to load *any* sample into my Emulator II+, so 
I'm working on that...
And I also want to convert the samples on my EIII CDs to WAV, so this 
feature will also be added in the near future. 
For EMAX samplers I will try to add the ability to create EMAX CD ISO 
images from scratch. This should also work for ZIP-disks of course. 
We'll see...


Have fun & let the Emax live forever
