Emax

Transferring sequences between EII, EIII and Emax is not so useful. 

It would be great to be able to convert Emax sequences to/from standard MIDI 
files. Then you could take sequences from a computer sequencer and load them 
into the Emax with precise timing. Playing in via MIDI is problematic given 
the less than stable timing most USB MIDI interfaces provide. Using the 
external clock input to drive the Emax sequencer should allow much tighter 
playback timing than is possible via MIDI. 

Are you able to share the documentation on the Emax sequencer format? There 
is virtually no documentation in Emax the manual on the timing resolution 
and what messages are supported by the sequencer. 

Thanks,
