Re: [emax] formatting an SD or CF card?

2012-02-13 by Ted Summers

1) just click the write protect tab on the media.
2) you can't have more than one "partition" on the media
3) Emax 1 can only format 20MB due to firmware restriction of the Emax
4) Where you want to write your samples on a removable media, that would
need to be a media that is not locked as per 1.
I don't believe you can protect single "banks".

Once you have a media and it has the banks, make a copy with EMXP and play
with the duplicate.

I have like 10 flash I bought to do same....
