Emax

Hi 

I'm not sure about any of these machines, but note that Sound 
Designer II requires a DSP card (like AudioMedia II) installed in the 
Mac.
SDII works fine with the Emax-II here on a Centris 650 with 
audiomedia card. The same is true for Alchemy 3 but it can't 
communicate with the Emax-II on my Powerbook 180C. It's just the 
other way around for my Emulator II: SoundDesigner for EII on the 
Powerbook works fine, but on the Centris 650 it doesn't.

Alchemy doesn't require any DSP card to be installed in the Mac.

Another important remark: none of these software packages is able to 
load/unload banks to/from the Emax-II. Only the samples can be 
transferred, and Alchemy does a better job than SDII because it can 
transfer all samples with one mouse-click.
The only software which was able to load/unload full banks was Sound 
Designer for Emax, but even this one is not capable of doing this on 
the Emax-II: the Mac will freeze with an Emax-II, but it works fine 
with an Emax-I.
