Emax

wrong it records its samples in 12bit and still puts it in 12bit data in 8bits memory be it compressed but you dont get 1mb equivalant 16bit samples

the memory works in the same way as  scsi1 its 8 bits but the the next 4bit  data is put in the next available 8bit location using compression but its still 12bits when its read back out of memory it reads the first 8bit location then the second 8bit location but only reading the first 4 bits data 

the compression program and the gal processor splits the memory up into 1 and a half 8bit codes locations in a memory table

thats how it does it the scsi works the same way the 12bit samples are recorded and sent to the scsi drive but are actualy saved in 16bits that is the same for all 12bit samplers the last 4bits are just zero,s filling up the 16bit data which is sent to the scsi 1 drive as 2 8bit data streams

this is what would happen to the emaxs memory if it was not for the compression program using a allocating table to distribute the data in 8bit and 4 bit segments to the 12bit dacs

    But that said, seeing that the emax stores its 12 bit PCM samples in a
  single 8 bit byte, it can record as many samples as a 16 bit sampler
  with 1MB of RAM. (just more lofi! :-)
