What if the exs24 could run in "Akai emulation mode" ?

2000-08-23 by Vincent Kenis

Dear list

I was a bit dissapointed by the wobbly "feel" of the ES1 & this made 
me realize how much an inspired performance depends on latency. I 
ordered the EXS for obvious reasons but instructed by experience I 
decided to keep my S3000XL as long as it would respond faster than 
the EXS, and crash on stage less often than a Mac...  :-)

I suppose many people are in the same situation: enthusiastic about 
what the EXS offers or promises but still dependent on a standalone 
machine for latency, reliability, or other reasons, and that's the 
way it's going to be for a while. So I suppose most of these people 
will want to transfer progams & samples not only from the Akai to the 
EXS but also the other way round. And I'm sure I'm not alone in 
wishing that the EXS had a "Akai emulation mode" where you could use 
it as a Sx000 and save data in the Sx000 format on Akai formatted Zip 
cartridges.

Users: what do you think ?
Programmers: is it a reasonable query ?

thank you
