Emax

///E-Synthesist

THANK YOU SOO MUCH.

When i saw the menu of EMXPi was going crazy, All these options, I
created a report with wavs and i was asking myself how that is
possible!! I had 12bit 28.xx khz files on my drive all of a sudden.
Its AMAZING< the program is great i love the menu too

I was soo frustrated to find out that its not accepting the didks i
wrote, I will swap the driver in the morning before work!!! hope that
will make it work


Have you used EMXP with SCSI card readers and Compact Flash ?? That
would be bananas!! I am thinking of getting another EMAX I rack, and
maybe a EMAX 2 !! Hyped up

Thanks for all your hard work !
