Emax

Before I read the bit about using only double density diskettes -- hey, I'd
just moved to 3.5 from 5.25 -- I recorded a really neato sequence using a
copy of the factory choral disk.  I made two copies of this.  (See "Glass
Jaws" on my MP3c site, below, to hear the tape I made at the time.)

Upon my reading of the double density warning, both diskettes immediately
refused to load.  (Previously, I think Toon rules were in effect -- they
were too stupid to realize they should fail.)

Now, the odds are the failures in the diskettes are NOT in the new sequence
and patch information I created, because that's only a small bit of the
diskette.  SO, anybody with a copy of the factory diskette and each of
these broken ones could create a diskette with the sequence.


This is the sort of thing that I had tools for back in my AppleII days, but
I haven't seen 'em for the Mac.  Not that I've looked too hard ... the MP3
I uploaded is not too bad.


Currently, the Emax is packed away, since for a while at least, I had the
Bitheadz DS-1 software sampler working on my PowerBook.  (See Bitheadz list
for my problems with my new G4.)


Expanding the blue sky questioning a bit -- Has anybody thought of making a
software version of the Emax?  Something about the CruzControl arpeggiator
is just so neat, and even the weirdass stuff I can crank out in Digital
Performer doesn't quite do the same thing.
