Title: Extremely Impressed With EMXP!!
Post by: HideawayStudio on December 12, 2008, 12:02:22 PM

Just to say a really big thank you to esynthesist...  For ages now I've been trying to find a way of reading my EIIIXP drives.   Having had such bad luck with bespoke disk format readers in the past I was very sceptical.   After a flash of inspiration I hooked up an old SCSI ZIP drive to my EIII and copied several of my banks over to the formatted zip disk.  I then plugged an old parallel port ZIP drive into an old Win2K laptop and installed EMXP.  To my complete amazement EMXP mounted the disk and behold there were all of my banks...  and my presets... I even converted raw samples into wav files!

What I'm really wanting to do, besides backing up my beloved samples, is to create a CDROM of my sounds that the EIII can read.

Can someone tell me whether this is possible - taking into account that these are my own samples residing on disk ie. I don't have CDROMS to image ie. I want to convert HD images into an EIII CDROM.

Cheers,

Dan, Hideaway Studio.

hmm,

yes, you should be able to do so...

EMXP should do the job. It's manual is excellent, quick to read and should advise you what you can do (and what you can't).

And: Yes, all hail e-synthesist and emxp.  ;D

Greetz,
