Hi all.

Just got my first Emu sampler (E5000 Ultra with internal 20GB drive). Have had akai, roland and yamaha samplers to date, must say that I love the OS and sound from the Emu.

First question. I have a few akai Cd-Roms and I want to copy them onto my internal drive. So far, I have only been able to load individual banks one at a time from CD to the internal drive - quite a slow way. On my old Yamaha a5000 I was able to copy from CD directly to Hard drive, so I am wondering if there is a function to do the same with my sampler?

Thanks,

Simon.

Press disk/browse, then F1 (for Utils), then then F5 for backup.
I know this works for copying Emu format CD-ROM's onto an internal hard drive, but not sure about Akai format CD-ROM's. Is it a SCSI or IDE drive? If SCSI, you could do it with chickensys Translator software (which unfortunately doesn't find IDE drives :cry:

).

Cheers Wigworld for the reply.

It's an IDE drive. I'll try the backup option with one of my Akai CDs and see if it works.

Si:)
