Triggering Emax 1 rack with SP1200

2012-07-02 by sp1200emu

Anyone have any tips or a tutorial on how you would setup the Emax up to have several samples being triggered from the 1200, like people do with the 1200&S950 combo mostly in hip hop (house for me!)?  I do have the midi pad/note number chart from the 1200 forum. So I would be halfway there already.  I know you put both units on the same midi channel, and the pads correspond to a note note number on the Emax. But my question lies on how to get the Emax to load multiple samples at once verses jut once voice. So this would be mapping a different sample on each key that corresponds with the 1200 pads?  This is where I get stuck. I knew how to do it on my EII and EIII but it was a hassle. Anyone have any insight on how to do this in a reliable fashion?

you need to make a keymap up of the sounds you want to the pad trigger notes

the easiest way i do it is with awave studio you can save that to sound font and then use emxp to convert it to a bank file that you can load into the the emax

that way you can fill up the memory to 1mb 16bit

and then make several keymaps with different samples on as presets

keygroups would be Akai terminology..  You mean to do this in the Preset Definition module?  Oh I see what I am doing now. I am just building a map of different samples/tones across the keyboard and saving it as a custom preset with their corresponding note numbers and outputs. Hopefully everything will fit (bassline, chords, pads).  I have an Emuser and Emxp that should make everything easier. 

I wonder if this would be easier with a Prophet 2002 and that new piece of software that someone built.  It looks totally tits.

with awave you can load all the samples you want that will fit into the emaxes memory

then you make sf2 keymaps for each preset you want so that the sp12 can trigger those keynumbers

becuase you have all the samples that fit

you can make as many preset keymaps as you like with variations

then save as sf2 bank

then when you convert it with emxp it converts all sf2 keymaps as presets

its very quick and easy todo this is what i use all the time for most of my synths and samplers
