Yeah,
That'd be GREAT just let me know how much you want for the CF cards. I am hoping they will already be in EMAX format, right? Load right in?
will listen to your examples when at home tonight.
I woule LOVE to get these kinds of sounds.
I LOVE EMAX generated pads and drum sounds
(the drum sounds just have an awesome grit to them
that modern samplers cannot emulate AT ALL)
If you could sell me preformatted banks that you could put on CF cards that will load right into the Emax via the SCSI card reader I am installing on my emax you would be saving me massive amounts of time trying to get these the box site sounds transferred onto SCSI ZIP disks and loading int that way...If I use any of your sounds in any of my productions I will definately give you sound design credits on the MP3 informational portion of the track or sleeve credits if the tracks are cut to wax (as some of my stuff is.
I really appreciate your offering to allow me to use these kinds of sounds AND putting them on usable CF cards that can be loaded into the Emax.
Not many sound designers want to share their sounds so I really appreciate what you are willing to do her and will pay you for the sounds as well as give you album credits.
Thanks Jammie

what do you want on them let me know and i can create you some keymaps for you which you create your own presets
i have lots of stuff from single cycle spectra of all synths in multisample format
you can get 30-40 of these files on a emax bank and by layering them you can create almost any type sound
i also do special noise spectrums for choirs same again multisampled and by layering them you can create very nice choirs and pads
these are all new material so that they are fresh
if you go here you can hear examples i did for the korg t seies super m1 which also only has the same amount of ram as the emax
on these i can get 27 multisamples in 512k
here is a video of some one using my pcm in the t series

HOW TO MAKE A ZIP.DISK
CD/CF card the easy way

IN EMXP

first off, this was done using Windows Vista Home basic with an internal IDE ZIP drive.


First thing I do is create a FOLDER called EMXP at THE ROOT of my hard drive.

C:\ emxp

(You can place it on your desktop if you want, I like the root C folder

just for old times EMX stylee sake)

Once you execute EMXP for the first time

it creates 'SUB' folders below


a. Akai1000

b. images

c. logs

d. OS

e. Temp

e. Wav


To save yourself future confusion, find any Emax Sound banks that you want to put on your zip disk (sound banks look like eb1 or eb2 [emax 1 or emax 2] and can be had from the Box site we all know and love.

Collect up all the Sound Banks you wish to copy to ZIP/Flash/CD then

place them into the 'images' folder...this allows EMXP to 'see' them

so they can be added to the HD/CD disk image you will create and that will be copied on to Zip disk later. Once the zip disk has the sound bank files al loaded onto them, you can delete or move them to another folder for safe keeping so that they don't confuse and interfere with any subsequent images you want to create.

Now onto making the disks!


next, create a disc image.


EMXP MAIN MENU

[5] MANAGE EMAX HD/CD IMAGES-enter

[2] CREATE A BLANK EMAX HD CD IMAGE

it will read "ready to create' a new Emax HD image of size 20 MB Suggested

Image Name is [New Image]

type your name you want for it, then hit enter.


It now creates that new image and places it into the

'images' folder (step 1b. above) with the extension .ez1

Now, back to those files you want on that ZIP disk.

You have already dragged and dropped the eb1 or sound

files you want to eventually go on your zip drive into the 'Images'

folder where your 'ez1' image sits, so the next thing is to RESTORE that image to the Zip disk.

the way you do this is as follows:


EMXP Main Menu

[5] Manage Emax HD/CD images

enter

[1] Manage Existing HD/CD images (*note-remember you made an image already above when you created a blank

image)

Now screen pops up showing you all the images you may have created and the New Image image you created

above should be there. type the number coorespding to it and hit

enter

[3] Restore emax hd/cd image to removable HD

enter the drive number that corresponds to your Zip disk on your PC

next,

This is were EMXP takes the image you created above and puts it on your Zip disk


It will run its routine and whirred away.

It will then say:

"the restore process from image New Image.ez1 has been completed, Press any Key to Continue."

You can then type

[5] "show details of emax removable HD"

It will show everything on the zip that was writen

..Cool, No banks y
