Maybe one day (very) far in the future EMXP will also support DPX 
directly. 

The DPX 3.5 disks can be read by a PC (with OmniFlop) so these can be 
created on a PC for sure. I tried this a year ago.
Higher OS versions of the DPX-1 can create backup 3.5 disks of any of 
the 4 sampleformats supported by DPX.
It's this type of backup disk which can perfectly be created on a PC.

So the only thing we need is a program which can translate EII 
SoundDesigner files (and S900/Mirage/Prophet files) into this 
proprietary DPX-1 format :-)
That might be EMXP... but I'm not promising anything. The DPX format 
must be rev engineered and that's pretty time consuming.
