I use SDS all the time. Using a sample editor like Sound Forge is a 
great way to manipluate samples in ways that just aren't possible with 
the Emax.... like adding effects (distortion, reverb, flanging) and 
normalizing also I take loops slice them up with Recycle and use SDS 
to send them back because Recycle only supports my ESI-32 which I 
don't use for drums.

The thing about SDS is that with the right software it allows you to 
send any type of sound file. Sound Forge can oped just about anything 
(AIFF, WAV, SMP, MP3 etc) and from there if you resample it into a 
format the Emax can use (44.1, 39 etc) and 16 bit ypu can then send it 
into the Emax. Making just about any sound out there a viable sample 
option.
