VERSION 1.30
S5/6000 NEW FEATURES
EMU EIII SOUND LIBRARY COMPATIBILITY
The S5/6000 can now load Emu EIII sound library from Emu CD-ROMs.
No special operation is required - simply pop in the CD-ROM, select it in the DISK LIST page,
go to LOAD and load the sounds in the usual way.
Emu 'banks' are represented as folders and these contain the programs ('presets' in Emu-
speak) and samples. The normal load operations can be applied and you can load the entire
folder or just selected programs with or without their samples or just the samples. Samples may
be auditioned in the usual way.
Naturally you may save the programs back to your hard disk (or floppy) if you want but of course,
the programs will be saved as Akai format .AKP programs and the samples will be saved as
.WAV files.
NOTE 1: Whilst every effort has been made so that Emu sounds play correctly when used in
an S5/6000, because of intrinsic differences between the machines, absolute accuracy cannot
be guaranteed in all cases and so some tweaking may be necessary. Most sounds should
translate fairly well, however.
NOTE 2: Depending on your CD-ROM drive, you may find that loading Emu data is slower
than loading other data . This is due to the translation 'fix-ups' that are being performed during
the load process.
