RE: [emax] EIIIxp hard drive and sysex control

2004-02-11 by Rob Keeble

Hi,
1) Boot failure is usually due to the hard disk being incompatible, you are
lucky it formatted. I'd suggest using a 1GB drive from the list on the web
site, or a 1GB Jaz drive.
2) The EIIIXP can't use that much space, it will be able to cope with 1 - 2
GB drives. EOS has similar problems with large drives, its down to the
rather limited E-mu disk formatting process (which dates back to the Emax).
They weren't expecting drive sizes to increase so much !
3) The EIIIXP does have some SysEx, as the Mac EIIIX Remote Control software
can control some parameters. However EIIIXP/EIII SysEx is undocumented. Just
get the Mac software from our web site and look at the MIDI SysEx streams.
Better still use the software....it has some cool library features.
4) As 3)
Regards
rob
