Emax Ii Import - E-Mu ESI-32 Operation Manual

!
Caution: Drive 0 cannot be used since
the ESI-32 uses this number for the floppy
disk.

1. Emax II Import

The Emax II Import function allows you to import Presets, Samples or
entire Banks from the Emax II sampler and convert them into an ESI-32
bank. Data is imported into the ESI-32, from an Emax II formatted SCSI
device. Load time will be approximately twice that of the Emax II. There
are a few fundamental differences between the Emax II and the ESI-32.
For this reason a few parameters are ignored during the conversion
process. In most cases, however, the converted presets and samples
should sound and behave very similarly to the originals.
1. Activate Master/Global module.
2. Select 0. Import, 1. Emax II Import (0/1).
Select a Submodule
3. Select the desired import function. There are three options
available. Refer to the chart below.
0. Emax II SCSI Setup

1. Emax II Import Options
Asks you to confirm before erasing bank data.
2. Emax II Load
Allows you to browse through the Emax II SCSI device, select the
bank, presets or samples to import and start the import process.
An Emax II SCSI device is NOT mounted and accessed like a normal
ESI-32 drive (the load and drive buttons will not access the Emax II
drive). Instead, it is accessed and operated using the Emax II import
menus. Only one Emax or Akai SCSI device can be known to the ESI-32
at any given time.
4. Press 0 on the keypad to select Emax II SCSI Setup. This step is
necessary for the ESI-32 to recognize the Emax II SCSI device. The
display shows:
