EMU samplers have a hierarchy of banks > presets > samples. (I think that's right)
When you inport, you can import a bank containing presets which contain the samples assigned
to the presets. A horn section bank might contain trumpet, french horn, alto sax presets which
have samples assigned to them. Alternatively you can just import a sax or trumpet preset or just
the horn samples alone. It's really up to you. There's a disk browser to view banks, folders,
presets and samples.


What I plan to do is back up the banks containing presets associated with whatever tune I'm working
on atm. So if I make some wikked drumkit or bass preset, I just just import those when starting
a new project.


Hope some of that made sense.

When using an internal HD with a sampler, how do you import samples into RAM?

When you load the samples associated with a program, do you have to specify which ones you want given that you always have much less memory in RAM than in your e.g. 18gig HD.

Can you view all the samples on your HD from the sampler screen and then just import the ones you need for the tune to the limit depending on how much RAM you have.

Just wondered, cos with my ZIP drive, the 250MB ZIP partitions (3 per disk) are always just slightly less than the 96MB in my sampler, so I just buy new disks, as its cheap enough to dedicate a disk to every 3 tunes i complete and fill them up using SCSI from my PC files

I might be being a spaz, but just wondered how people use their samplers + storage as I fancied buying an E6400 + HD when my Yamaha finally dies on me.

Thanks for the input all. The RAM I had ordered previously was supposedly tested for EMU Samplers.


Anyway I've ordered another 128MB RAM from http://www.datamem.com
a company recommended by EMU Tech support. Plus a Seagate 18GB drive from another company.


Crosses fingers.
