Emax

in sample dump you have to dump 1 sample at a time it takes the sample 16 bits and transmits it at 12 bits i find the 27khz sample rate to be good for drum sounds thats what i sample them at in my sp1200 and my eps/eps16+ they get a good grainy sound which adds to that old hiphop sound thats what gives the snares that that rasp a snare sample will take about 

4 seconds to dump to a sample location

  so from what i'm reading, EMXP isn't going to give us the best sound
  quality? i've never had any distortion problems using it myself, but i've
  never done tests to compare using EMXP to manually sampling into the
  machine.

  to use midi sample dump, do i need to set the sample rate to match the Emax
  default? how long does a midi sample dump take for a full bank (or maxed
  out data of 512 ram)?

  thanks
