Preserving Emax sound library
2008-05-02 by manicpeter
Hi guys, I am a little concerned that my emax will eventually die. The sound disks that I have from the original library are wonderful. I have recently bought an mpc1000 and put the jj os2 in it which allows for instrument programs with keyzones. I have successfully sampled one alto strings program with identical keyzones and pretty identical loop points to the emax. I did not want to transfer the samples digitally via omnifloppy or so since a) i can't get it to run and b) I don't think it will translate program settings which are vital for the sound, basically, i wanted the exactly same sound in the mpc as came out of the Emax. So now I have successfully transfered the program, I would ideally like to do this for all programs. But time is short and it is a lot of work... Has anybody done anything similar for their samplers? Or transferred programs like that to wav files and would like to share? best, Pete
