Emax II operation manual
108
Hint: It is a good idea to check the size of the preset you wish to load (PRESET
MANAGEMENT 7) to make sure there is enough sample memory in the Emax II bank
to accomodate the new preset.
PRESET MANAGEMENT 2 SAVE COMPRESSED
This function saves the entire Emax II bank to disk in compressed 8-bit form. This
allows a 1-megabyte bank to be stored on a single floppy disk which could be
useful in a live performance situation. In many cases the compressed data will be
audibly indistinguishable from the 16-bit version.
1. Insert the disk to which you want to save the bank, into the drive.
2. Activate PRESET MANAGEMENT 2. The display says:
Save All
Compressed? Y/N
3. Press YES to save the bank to floppy disk, or NO to return to the module identifier.
While saving, the display will counsel patience. When the save is complete, the Emax II
will return to the module identifier. Banks of 1 megabyte or less can be saved as
compressed to a floppy disk only.
Using the Save Compressed function to create Emax I disks
The compressed format is the same data format used in the Emax I. This function can be
used to create high quality Emax I banks. Emax II banks saved as compressed will be
compatible with an Emax I, with a few exceptions:
1) Only banks which are 1 Meg or smaller can be saved compressed.
2) Samples should be converted to Emax I sample rates before saving as compressed.
3) Stereo voices will be saved as primary and secondary voices with Dual mode on.
4) The transposition limits of the Emax I will be in effect.
5) Output assignments should be set to Main, corresponding to outputs 1-8 on Emax I.
