Question on formatting EPROM data for use of Simmons drum systems
2007-02-14 by hamsterdrum85
Hi, If I take the data from EPROMs for anything 8-bit companded, such as chips for LinnDrum, DMX, or DrumTraks, and format it to 8-bit linear for Simmons EPROMs, will the size of memory change to a different size, or will it still stay the same? For example, if I take a Linn snare drum, which is 4 kilobytes long and convert it from 8-bit companded to 8-bit linear, will it still be 4 kilobytes, or will it become 8k, or how much? I am trying to figure it out so as soon as I can get a hold of a Simmons SDS7, I would like to play samples to be from the LinnDrum library. Please let me know as soon as possible. Dean Rumsey
