I have not actually used MIDI SDS to dump samples to an Emax, I was just reading from the V3.0 MIDI specification on the Emulator archive. I believe the

That seems excessively slow, as the EII could load a similar sized bank from the same CDROM drive in 12 seconds. Its hard to imagine Emu would not have
