Emax

Ok, I can't seem to get SDS to work between soundForge and my EMAX.  I've 
tried just about every different setting change I can think of.  Closest I 
can get to having it work (when I don't get "Aborted, Bad ACK Packet #0000 
8") is that the sample appears to get copied over (Forge to EMAX), but then I 
can't play it on the EMAX aftwerward.  Am I missing something here?  The 
manual doesn't have much info in the part that tells you about doing Dumps. 

I tried sending SDS to my EIIIxs in Sample Management mode and that worked 
fine.... I guess I'm getting sorta confused between the EIII and Emax II 
somehow.

THanks,

PF

May I suggest reading the MIDI SDS section of the FAQ on my 
website http://www.silveriafamily.com  It's a good place to start. I'll be 
gone for the rest of today so I can answer any questions you have 
tomorrow.

Has anybody any experience of the 3 Northstar CD ROMs for the Emax? I'm
thinking of expanding my library - I have a 4MB machine and I already have
most of the E-mu and Greytsounds library (the 4MB stuff anyway) but would
like some more. I'd be interested in anyone's opinion as to the quality of
the Northstar stuff before I take the plunge!

Incidentally, anyone else noticed that a lot of the sections from the
Emulator Archive have been down for a while?

Hi

I have all three as well as Greytsounds and Emu and I feel they are the best
of the lot.

Please read the new SDS section of my website. IT specifically tells 
how to set-up an Emax II to work with Sound Forge.
