I believe Sound Forge still support midi sample dump protocol, so you should be good to go there assuming you already have available midi ports for your computer.

You will need to run the EMX utility which can be downloaded from the "Files" link to the left. It does required DOS to run. If you have an older PC, this usually isn't too much trouble to sort out.

Using an old Windows 98 install floppy that allows CD support, I boot up from the optical drive on my lady's old Dell. Just run the utility from the CD and make sure you know the path to the .em1 files. This of course requires a floppy drive which I believe must be internal.

Can I do all my sampling/editing in SF and export it to the Emax or should I sample in the Emax, move it to SF to edit the data and then move it back to the Emax? I want to keep the gritty fidelity of the Emax.
