It will soon arrive.... my DPX-1 !

[Elmbeatz]

Does anybody know if it's possible to connect any mass storage media to it?

(NOT the dedicated oldschool HD or the OMI drive)

Greetings,
Elm.

i only know the "oldschool" stuff  HDX etc.

Just for your interest:

Although the manual doesn't clearly point this out:

Individual outputs are supported under OS 2.1

Greetz,
Elm.

Hi Elm,

unfortunately there is no way to connect any other mass storage device to the DPX-1. Another thing I hate about the DPX-1 is that it cant read the 3.5" disks I did with the EII. Only the 5.25" drive reads EII disks.
The DPX-1 is very limited but plays back the EII samples well. I miss some "dirt" in the sound compared to the real EII...but its still great.

Well, maybe that discussed new floppy emulator will provide some easier (probably "mass storage" style) disk handling...

The dpx-1 is very simple and limited indeed.
But it makes a great vintage collectors unit. And I love how it looks under my SP-12

i hope you had found one in a very good condition 

[Elmbeatz]

The condition isn't good - it is SUPERB!

[Elmbeatz]

Yeah, great.
Unfortunately I have no Eprom Maker.

Hi,

I just got a DPX yesterday with tons of floppy but from different format, not only EII.

That's a superb machine!!!

I plain to use DPX TOOLS for backup those sounds on a computer.

Do you know if Sample Dump works with a PC under windows xp?

Do you know where to find EII sample on the internet?

Thank you.

you can convert dpx images to EmuII files (DPX tools), and these to wav files (EMXP).
Is that what you're looking for?

I have a DPX-1 with OS 2.1 and trying to use the SDII Emulator on it but I am getting disk errors. I am converting the sound banks from SDII to DPX using the tools on esynthesis webpage. Any help would be greatly apprecitated. The way that I am converting them is using the batch option on E2DPX program then I just write the file/image on to the DPX formatted floppy. I tried approximately 10 banks and they are written but when I tried to load them on the DPX-1 all but one had (de) Disk Error displayed.

Thanks,

[Elmbeatz]

are you using DD disks?

[rtech]

Yes, I am using DD disks, but its strange that only 1/10 worked. The Banks that I am trying to copy to disk are the Northstar sounds from  the Universe of Sounds Volume 3. I extracted the individual Sounds from the CD using Esynthesis CDS3TOOL then used E2DPX to convert them. The banks I am trying out are in the DRUMS Folder created by CDS3TOOL. Some of the banks that gave me the (de)Disk error are Hip_Drums.DPX , Electronic_Drums.DPX and others. I have tried formating the disks with the DPX and also using the dpxformat.exe from Esynth.

Thanks in advance.
