Emax

Yes, i must admit to some problems in that respect too.

I have just bought an emax and i have some problems with the workflow.
Sometimes when i sample and then go to preset management to create a
new preset, i loose all the samples. Is it best to create a preset
first and then sample? The manual doesnt seem to be too helpful
explaining the best workflow for sampling.

i think for an akai user it's hard to understand the terminology of
voices compared to samples etc.

Any help very much welcomed!
