Emax

Hi, i am searching for a better transfer solution for my emax(1) and PC

I remember someone mentioned a tool (chickensystems or something like
that) that could be very helpful.. can i get any info about it... when
will this thing released ?

there are about 96soundbanks available on the net, which i would like
to check out. also i have many sounds which i want to archiv. Trading
sounds over the net would be nice also.. 

sofar the only way would be to use emx and store everything on a
disk,right?

I have found a nice solution for my casioFZ sampler btw. Made a cable
for file transfer via parallel port to FZ port. That way i can use my
PC for soundarchiv and the sampler can access my harddisk via a dos
based tool....

is something similar possible with the emax?

or should i try to install a zipdrive, or a external hd?

any idea...?

thanx

If you want to archive banks and don't have an HD model Emax you have only
one choice right now, use EMX to extract the banks as em1 files on your
computer. I've heard whispers that there might be an alternative coming
towards the end of summer, but nothing concrete or that I can share just
yet. I myself have never got Transformer Free from Rubber Chicken to work
correctly it recognizes Emx file, but it doesn't play back the samples
correctly and is prone to crashing on my system.

If you want to archive the samples themselves you have another choice. The
Emax does work with programs that support MIDI Sample Dump Standard (MIDI
SDS aka SDS) Programs like SOund Forge and Awave support this. This would
only save individual samples though, not any preset or bank information.

There are other options for Mac users.

hmmm. what´s that rubber chicken thing anyway? is there a webpage
about it? strange name.... ;)

sample transfer via midi doesn´t work with soundforge for me... also
would be no good solution since i would lost all preset, bank data

i think about a zipdrive. that way i wouldn´t need disks anymore,
right? every bank can be on zip. it´s like a hd...

Hi
 
The program from Chickensys is called Translator. Use this link:
 
http://www.chickensys.com/
 
You can find a translation matrix that tells which keyboard source that translates to which keyboard destination.
 
To gain more information you can also look at the Translator user forum here:

Best regards
