This could be caused by differences between the samplers (e.g. no AUX envelope on Emax-II), but of course it could also be caused by "wrong" values used for some internal translation parameters in the translation engine of EMXP. If you detect sound differences of which you are pretty sure that "the translaton job can probably be done better", feel free to send me the source bank. Perhaps I can enhance the translation engine a little bit (although it's not always that easy to find a good compromise between e.g. the different envelope curves and filters used by the different samplers...)

That said, you would probably want a machine with a corresponding amount of RAM (both my EIII and Emax II are fully expanded at 8MB.) Even so, I've discovered inconsistencies when banks are converted between two formats. For example, inexplicable difference in volume levels, panning, etc.
