Emax II operation manual
4
SELECT DRIVE
6. Press the button labeled DRIVE SELECT on the front panel of Emax II. Use the data
slider to select "SCSI 0: Floppy", if you want to load a floppy disk; or "SCSI 1 Conner",
if you have a built-in hard disk drive. Then, press ENTER.
LOAD FROM FLOPPY DISK
7a. Press the LOAD BANK button, then simply insert a floppy disk and press ENTER.
LOAD FROM HARD DISK
7b. Press the LOAD BANK button, then select one of the sound banks using the data
slider. When you find one that strikes your fancy, press ENTER.
8. Raise the volume slider to the up position.
9. The display will show the name of the Current Preset (we’ll talk more about the
Current Preset concept later). Turn up the volume control and start playing the
keyboard. All right!! The display will show you the ID number (P followed by two digits)
and name of the sound you are playing. These sounds are called presets, for reasons
which will become clear later.
10. Use the telephone-type numeric keypad underneath the display to call up different
presets. Press a two-digit number; start with 01 and play the keyboard for awhile, then
press 02 and play, 03, 04, etc. At some point you will run out of factory presets, and the
display will say “Empty Preset.”
If you want, vary the control wheels towards the left hand side of the keyboard. They
may not be active with some presets, as they perform different functions with different
presets.
To load another floppy disk, press LOAD BANK, and the display will say:
Load All Presets
And Sequences
Insert another floppy disk, then press ENTER. Emax II will begin loading the new bank.
Note: Some Emax II banks require two or more floppy diskettes. In this case, simply
insert the diskettes in sequential order (1, 2, 3...).
To try out presets from other factory hard disk banks, locate the LOAD BANK button
(in the group of four buttons to the right of the numeric keypad) and press it. Use the data
slider to scroll through the available hard disk banks. When you find a bank that
interests you, press the flashing ENTER button right below it. The disk drive will start
making noises, and a few seconds later you will have loaded another bunch of sounds
into the Emax II.
