emusonacid! legacy

Ok so000 got my e6400 ultra about two weeks ago , been threw the manual over and over again. Scoured the net! AND for the life of me cannot get anything to save to disk! I know a sample goes in a preset and a preset goes in a bank right? I cannot find a specific bank menu... When i try and save to disk it says something about invalid folder and bank.

Please help! :p

Please guys??????? No one wants to help me freakn save!!! haha

I mean, come on man...

F5 button SAVE saves a bank, you can also save a single preset (as a BANK), under Preset Manage F5 Export.
But the main question is actually, what medium are you're trying to save to, dude ? Guess it does not have a HD
inside (or an external SCSI-HD,-Zip,-Jaz). What's there shown if you push DISK/BROWSE button ? Just Floppy Disk there ? Please specify. In case I'm right logically this would leave you with the floppy drive as only storage drive, guess that's it, if you do not have a medium (a floppydisk) in the floppydrive you get the invalid folder/bank message, THUS YOU CANNOT FREAKIN' SAVE. Right, mista ?

I am trying to save to floppy. I have a two samples in the preset , when i pust f5 when on the preset manage screen i get
drive : d9 floppy disk
folder : invalid folder
bank : invalid bank

then i push ok and it says

folder does not exist!

Maybe you need to format the floppydisk ? Via DISK/BROWSE button > F1 Utils > F3 Format.
See the manual again for details about formatting. And I recommend buying a SCSI-HD,-Zip,-Jaz,-MOD for storage, you need it.

Thanks for the help ! I have formatted the disk over and over again. Still no luck.

Is there a way to create folders on the disk?

Puuh, for the moment I'm out then... Once you formatted it should change to

Folder:F000 Floppy Folder
Bank :B000 EmptyBank

when you're trying to save.
Otherwise I would say the floppy is still not formatted. But you're writing you formatted it successfully, so you see the green LED working, hearing tick tick tick during process and it ends with asking you if you want to format another ? Rather strange if so, because when it formats ok Ican't see why it shouldn't save then fine, and end up with displaying what you mentioned. Anyone ?

So0 i did have a scsi external drive laying around. An old apple one , plugged it in set scsi to id 7 . Then i reformatted the drive , and not it alows me to save! I still would like to use flopppys but at least i can save now! I have never had so much trouble getting a sampler to save... lol

thanks for the help

On the E5000 ultra

when you click 'manage preset' , then F5 export you get a list as ^^ above said;

Drive: xx Floppy Disk
Folder: Floppy Folder
Bank: whatever

and just click F6 (OK) to save.

maybe get a new pack of disks; I picked up 10 for 2 pounds at play.com (although there were loads of higher priced ones, just look carefully)

Hey spectre
Why not fit an internal ide drive and be done with the problems of floppies....no more sample size limitations, organizing , and labeling of discs.
I was a little aprehensive about the procedure but it was simple and only took 10mins to do.

For power from the main board to the drive you will also need a molex cable Reverse wired ie. pins 1234 wired to pins 4321 to overcome the emus crazy power feed setup
and a computers internal IDE cable. you can pick both of these up real cheap from ebay approx £1 each.
