Re: [emax] Can I use these samples?

2008-04-07 by Tristan Upton

Hi Alan, 

It looks like this is a CD of WAV files. You could load these into a 
computer and with the appropriate software do a MIDI sample dump to the 
Emax. But it will be a slow and tedious process. Alteratively, you could 
play back the samples from your computer and sample them into the Emax. Of 
course you would then need to find your own loop points etc. 

Regards, 

Tristan
