Loading Samples (Akai/Ensoniq)?

if i have some CDR's that contain either Akai or Ensoniq Format samples will an E6400 EOS 4.6 read them from the CD-ROM SCSI drive connected straight to the EMU?

i assume the CDR's would have to have the Akai/Ensoniq Image on them?

cheers
anode.

Emu does read akai, but only the s1000 and s3000 I think, or something. I have not tried it.

Ole - well im getting the E6400 Ultra in about a week...just wanted to find out if i can read straight from the Akai/Ensoniq discs...incase i come across some via sample trades etc...will just have to wait and see i guess, cheers;)

ive been using an EPS 16+ sampler and im pretty sure i can access those files in EOS 4.62 - but id much rather have them on CD than have to load em all up from Floppy...

Once again, I'm not sure, so you better check the manual, but I believe you could read akai samples directly from the disc.

Hey anode, which Ensoniq Format you loaded?

I see plenty of Ensoniq stuff on Ebay and wouldn't mind checking some out...

Napalm: i loaded some .EFE samples from a Ensoniq EPS 16+ Formatted Zip Drive/Disk.

according to the manual you can load EFE & EFA (EPS, EPS16+, ASR-10).

yes ive seen lots of great ensoniq sounds on CDR on ebay...but i wonder if the Drive itself has to be formatted for Ensoniq not just the Disk?

:grin:

Appreciate the response... I'm going to check out some of those compatible disks on Ebay...

That's a good question regarding the CDR issue... Not sure on that one...

Thx
