I've been trying to get SMDITools working between
linux and an E-Mu
ESI4000.
Me too, once, though I'm afraid I can not help since I do not remember
any details on why it failed.
also, does anybody know of any linux programs that
work with the esi4000
file system? it would be great to be able to generate programs/banks.
I had some success running ESIWin in WINE, however I am not sure it
allows you to manage programs/banks at a level lower than perhaps
moving banks between disk images.
I tried to use MIDI sample dump instead (slooow). Last time I checked
though I was not able to find any tool to do this and I failed to
write my own from the specs. Perhaps there is a useful Linux MIDI
sample dump utility available now?
There are tools available to create Akai sampler images and the esi
can read some such images from cd. I do not remember how far I got
trying to use this. I was able to make an Akai cd, but I do not
remember how much data I could import from it into my esi.
The only way I have successfully used to transfer samples from the
sampler is saving to floppies and then opening the floppy as raw sound
data in a sound editor...
