Emax

Hello all,

1.  My EMAX II Turbo (8MB, stereo, 120 MB HD) is kinda the black sheep of my
studio.  It's the only modern instrument I cannot control from my computer.
I would like to be able to at least browse and select sample banks from my
computer, just as I do with my synths with the Sound Quest MIDI Quest 8
editor/librarian software, but I haven't found anything on the net yet.  I
don't even need editing, although that would be a wonderful bonus.  Does
anyone know of a program that will do anything along these lines that will
run on Windows XP?

1a.  Barring that, does anyone know where I can find the MIDI implementation
chart and sysex information for the EMAX II?  If I get desperate enough, I
might attempt writing an editor module for the EMAX in MIDI Quest.

2. I would like suggestions on good sources of drum samples.  I primarily
use my EMAX for drum kits, but I've only mostly been using the stock factory
sample banks, and those are somewhat lacking.

3. Has anyone ever thought of updating that EMX program to work with
something other than DOS?
