Hi
EMXP will support bank upload and bank download for both Emax-I and Emax-II, as soon as an USB/RS422 device is ready and tested for these samplers. I just spent some more hours on the prototype device I have received from a fellow member a few months ago and I think we are making progress... Still a hardware/firmware problem though...
For Emax-II the bank up/download will be supported in low (MIDI) and high (RS422) speed; this will be based on a whole series of SYSEX messages. Also the special "all-in-one" compressed bank upload will be supported.
For Emax-I the bank up/download will be supported in high (RS422) speed, although it is possible that also slow (MIDI) transfer will be supported... depends on the compatibility of SYSEX between Emax-I and Emax-II. I think this will be OK.
Also Emulator-II will be supported, only in fast (RS422) mode though because the MIDI interface of EII does not support SYSEX.
With respect to the SoundDesigner versions, here's a jump start of a sound editor comparison for Emax-I and Emax-II:
SD for Emax:
- full support (all features) for Emax-I, including realtime control of every parameter/module
- support for Emax-II except for:
. bank download to Mac
. bank upload to Emax restricted to Emax-I compressed banks
. individual sample upload and download limited to 512K
- MIDI and RS422 supported
- no special soundcard hardware required for starting software
SD Universal:
- bank upload/download: still to be confirmed (?)...
- individual sample up/download support for Emax-I and Emax-II
- MIDI and RS422 supported
- SoundAccelerator hardware required for starting and using software
SDII version 2.5:
- NO bank upload/download
- individual sample up/download support for Emax-I and Emax-II
- MIDI and RS422 supported
- SoundAccelerator or AudioMedia II hardware required for starting and using software
SDII version 2.6 and higher:
- NO bank upload/download
- individual sample up/download only via generic MIDI SDS
- MIDI supported (no RS422)
- SoundAccelerator or AudioMedia II/III hardware required for starting and using software
Passport Alchemy v3:
- NO bank upload/download
- individual and bulk sample up/download for Emax-I and Emax-II
- MIDI and RS422 supported
- no special soundcard hardware required for starting software
