Emax

Yes it does...
...as long as you can use S1000 floppy disks in the targetsampler.
If the targetsampler needs S1000 cdroms or S1000 removable harddisks, 
you would have to put the S1000 programs and samples created by EMXP 
on an S1000 compatible CDROM/HD first. And this is not supported by 
EMXP because I couldn't figure out the harddisk layout of Akai yet. 
And as far as I know there is not a lot of other software out there 
(maybe none ?) which can do this job. (anyone ?)
As a workaround I used to use my S1000HD sampler for this purpose: I 
loaded the floppy disk created by EMXP and saved the contents to a 
ZIP disk connected to the SCSI port of the S1000HD.
