emusonacid!

looked on the emu website and couldn't find anything on it, i am using a zip drive to load samples, is possible to load a folder, select all?, somthing, loading breaks is a frickin headache

save all the stuff you want into a bank... or a preset... whatever you want.

preset is a bit trick so here is how you do it:

you want to go to preset manage bit, and name it something... like "sildenafil"... ahem

then you have to to into preset edit, make sure you have the preset selected so when you go into the edit section you will be adding the breaks you want as voices to the right preset. i would say if you have channel one and it says "unamed preset" or something like that, i can't rememeber what it says right now, actualy physically move it so it says the name of the preset you desire to save to. then do the edit bit, set the sampled breaks and place each one and blah blah blah...

then export the preset and.... there you go, you have a preset.

now.

to create a bank all you have to do is hit save at the multimode section, but i perfer to do this when i have several presets all together. when you "save" it will actualy save all your midi info as well, like how loud each track was set, panning, preset set up, everything.

now... again

if you find that there is a preset in your bank that you don't like, go into preset manage and scroll to the preset you don't want. this works just like sample edit. once you find that preset that you don't want/need/love, delete it. and now you can add a different one and so on.

it works well, if i was foggy on my explaination, shout and i will try to clearify.

ps, sorry for the silly begainning... a bit tired.

please do, basicly i am tryings to load more then one sample in RAM at the same time, loading one after another after another (cut up breaks) is quite annoying

i didn't comprehend sampleandhold there.
i didn't think there was a way to load multiple samples at once.
i hear ya, i had to load nearly 1,000 fuuukin one shot drum samples ONE AT A TIME. almost lost my head doing that one. i asked about a "select all" button and got no love.

So when you guys are working on a track, you load everything separately every time?

Of course you have to load everything separately at first, but once you have all that you want for you choon, then you can save all of the samples in separate presets and save the presets in to a bank.

okay, lets try this again, i wasn't too clear the other time. Trust me, once you do this, just the one time, you wont have to do any of this again. I am also assuming that when you look into your zip drive you see a list of all the breaks you have, or for the love of god a list of each individual hit, that would indicate to me that you have saved each break or hit as a preset. or as an individual sample, something i could never get my sampler to do since i always had to place my samples, and such ended up creating a preset out of my stab... go figure.. if i did it any other way, i would lose the sample.

take your breaks or hits, load them one at a time into your sampler from you zip. each one should be it's own preset, right? so your first break is hotpants, second, the funky mule, the third the funky drummer, and so on.

now you know the multi mode screen, where you can see the your preset name, the volume of the cannel, the pan, and mod and pitch wheel cc's? if you look at the function buttons, you should see on that says "save" You hit that and every single break that you loaded into your sample will be saved in a bank. what will actualy happen when you hit save, you will be prompted to name it, and the name will reflect the first break, errr preset you loaded, in this case, to follow my example, and to create a run on sentence, your default name would be hotpants. change the name if you want, so you don't get confused to "dr. human's breaks" then hit okay. now when you go to your zip disc, you will find the file, dr human's break, you select to load that, and what it will ask you is if you want to merge it or load it, select load just so it wipes the ram out and to verify that the bank is created properly. all your breaks should be there.

now, since you have all these breaks, you maybe curious to know if you can get rid of them, lets say you only want two of the 20 or so you have in that bank, you can delete all but the two, or simply go to the bank and browes the bank for presets and select only the two that you want. I have my test tones from wave lab set up this way. all 10 or 15 of them, i can load them all at once, or just pick one of the samples and load that instead.

give it a shot and let me know how it works. I hope i am helping you out...

oh and if you have each hit for a break some how seperated, please i beg you make a preset, get all your hits, and place them, kick 1 = c1 and so on and go to preset manager and name the preset whatever your break is, then export it. this is how you create a preset. hope this helps, shout if you need some more explaining...

no, no, no....of course not. i believe this brother is asking about the first time you load. i do believe there is no shortcut to loading multiple samples (why in the HELL not i have no idea). so the first time is a pain in the ass unavoidably.

but of course, once you load it all, save it out as a bank to avoid hell a second time.

I use the batch send facility in WaveSurgeon to do this from my PC. Not much help if you use a Mac, of course, or don't have your Emu hooked up to a computer. Zoeos can also do what you need.

look under links and resouurces

Yes multiple samples at a time, i dont wanna cut and re cut and re load and re load samples, it sucks!!!!! by the time i am done, i lose any want to make a track at all.

if i was able to use a scsi card and recycle i would! cept i am on a laptop(ibook)

Are you talking about loading fresh samples/(wav files) into the emu or about loading samples from a previous E4 bank?

Dont despair!

This might help

PS: I like the agony of loading single samples from the emu hd- helps u pick the right ones and avoids clutter
