Re: SV: [emulatorII-list] using EII as a vintage drummachine

2008-03-12 by roisto

Hi Kenneth,

thanks for reply, i would appreciate if someone would put into
files/database some of them. 

just to clearing my point, no need of any sampled sounds (anything
first played by drum machine, then recorded with sound card, then
sampled with EII). 

i´m looking for a banks created by a raw conversion.

drum machine -> eprom ripped -> binary conversion -> EII format

so EII is playing actual drummachine data..
