Digitally transferring samples into the Emax II is an efficient way to quickly build up
your sample library. Because of the Emax II's near perfect pitch shifting, phenomenal
S/N ratio, and 16-bit resolution, the result will be improved sound quality even if the
samples were originally sampled on a 12-bit sampler.
MIDI SAMPLE DUMP
The MIDI Sample Dump Standard was created so that sound samples could be
transferred between samplers regardless of brand. The Emax II has the ability to send
and receive MIDI Sample Dumps, but, it cannot initiate a transfer from the front panel.
It can only send and receive samples in response to a MIDI command. The other device
must be the initiator.
In sending or receiving a sample dump, the Emax II uses sample numbers to identify
which sample will be transmitted or where a sample will be placed. Emax II has an 88
note keyboard range. Primary Voices are sent and received using sample numbers 0-87
and Secondary Voices are sent and received using sample numbers 256-343. For
example; If the Emax II is sent sample # 24, that sample will be placed in a primary voice
on Emax II key A2. If it is requested to send sample # 280, then the secondary voice
assigned to Emax key A2 will be sent. If there is no voice on Emax II key A2, the request
will be ignored. The diagram below shows the MIDI key numbers in relation to the Emax
II keyboard.

DIGITAL SOUND TRANSFER
Sometimes after transferring a sound into the Emax II, the loop points may need to be
adjusted. If there are clicks in transferred samples, try decreasing the Loop Start point
by 2 (or 3) samples and increasing the Loop Length by 1 sample. This error is due to the
way Emax II interpolates samples for pitch shifting.
