You can do this in bulk in Translator www.chickensys.com; this is 
Windows or Mac.

You can format a ZipDisk or an image to Emax format, and move the 
Banks over by multi-selecting them. It's an easy way of making compilations.

It's also only one step - from disk to disk. No need for an 
intermediate file on the computer.

There's no need to change Bank names or anything like that. 
Translator can also rename Banks or even Presets, just like you would 
in on a computer hard drive.
