Emax

Hi,

I just replaced my faulty power supply and have been having fun loading sounds via EMXP - many thanks E-Synthesist!

All has been going well until I made up a floppy with a bank of sounds and tried to load it, the display went all unreadable and the only sound was a slow building deadly type of drone that just peters out to static, I'm sure that was not the intended sound.

In addition if I reboot the Emax it looks good saying "insert disk, loading software etc" if I insert a known good disk that has worked before I get the same corrupted display and the same slow building noise.

No slider or buttons respond also once the disk has gone in.

Any suggestions or am I doomed?

Thanks,

Norman

When you replaced the power supply, did you replace the AC IN power  
connector ? If not you may have a bad connection there.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying.

Many thanks for the comments; however I think I have got to the root of it.

It seems It's me that is at fault and it's a simple dumb mistake on my part:
sound banks on disk - yes
operating system on disk - no...

I hang my head in shame.

Still at least it's working and sounding fantastic!!

Thanks,

Norm
