Emax

Hi guys anyone knows if there is an os upgrade for general midi in the SE?
or anyone has some drum banks in general midi setting?
thanks a lot
PJ

in an answer, Nope

The blight of GM came a good 5 years or more after the end of the Emax line and was never implemented on the Emax II either. 
TBH it only really appeared in the semi-pro/home keyboard market initially and the Emaxes were aimed Pro end and sound design markets.

It would certainly be possible to create a GM drum map (as some banks had SP1200 maps), but I doubt the original Emax could hold enough samples for the complete implementation of 128 instruments.
I think the "bliss disk" comes somewhere close and you can download the image from the files page

hope this helps


Simon

Thanks a lot Simon.. I imagine that..
what i need is only the drum map of GM because i need to play some drum sequence trough the Emax but the sequences  i have are set in GM mode.

maybe somone has a drum bank with GM setting..if not i will provide to sample it then i will share to the group.

Thanks again

1) load up your sequence in a sequencer, and visually inspect what note
values are required. 
2) go look for the GM drum map, and work out what sounds are required by
these notes, 
3) get a drumkit bank that has the right samples, or as many as
possible, and map the samples in the bank to the right MIDI notes.

Hi. If you have a floppy disk and a pc you can download EMXP and a decent GM sf2 drum bank and then try to convert it to emax image. Then put that into a floppy and load it into Emax.
