Emax

alchemy is in the files section of this group. Use alchemy if you get 
a mac, it has rs-422 support which is faster than midi-sds. On a pc 
use Soundforge for midi-sds, it's well established as being 
compatible with an emax and you can set your loop points within 
soundforge which makes the process a bit faster. If you can't afford 
sony soundforge right now then download the .torrent (it's out there 
somewhere) and buy it later if you like.
