Can you not see www.emu.com at all?  (note: you need the www.)  If so,
go to support, downloads, and eventually you'll get to the keymaps.

Each instrument can contain up to 255 samples (I think).  These samples
can be arranged over keys and/or velocities.  Once you see the keymap,
it should be pretty clear.  The only thing is that the kits can have up
to 4 instruments (read this as 4 collections of drum sounds) so going
from instrument keymap to preset keymap can be a bit annoying.

It's not *so* bad considering most presets use large (if not exclusive)
chunks of instruments (i.e. one instrument from C1 thru C6, and then
maybe a synth instrument elsewhere).  Take a look through some of your
presets and see how they use instruments.  A lot of times, there's only
one instrument being used.
