Hi all
I think I succeeded in reverse engineering the DPX disk layout for
Emulator II soundbanks.
In the files section of
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/oberheim_dpx1/
you can find a small Windows XP commandline tool called E2DPX.
This software reads SoundDesigner for EII files and translates them to
DPX diskimages. You can write these images to floppy disks using
DPXWRITE (also in that files section).
This tool could be useful for those not having an EmuII anymore to
create EII disks for the DPX.
It's also a quick way to create DPX disks without having to start your
Mac & EmuII to create disks before being able to load them into your
DPX.
PS: you can buy a CD with many EII banks on www.emulatorarchive.com !
I tested this tool with 15 Emu factory and OMI banks... it seems to
work.
Have fun !
