I'm using an Adaptec AHA-7850 SCSI interface card.
I used this in
the past with Sound Forge (back when it was made by Sonic Foundry) and
it worked fine.
I think SMDITools' problem with the ESI4000 is sample numbering. I
believe SMDITools starts at 0 where the ESI4000 starts at 1 (0 is the
clipboard). I'll come back with more info when I get another chance
to dig around in the SMDITools code (my C is far from great though
(far from good, even)).
Thanks,
Dan

I'd like to get SMDI transfers to/from an E-Mu ESI4000 working under
Linux. I've tried SMDITools (
http://nolv.free.fr/SMDITools/ ), but
that doesn't seem to work quite right with the ESI4000. It's been a
little while since my most recent go at it so I don't remember the
exact problems I was running into.
Has anyone had any luck getting SMDI transfers to work with the
ESI4000 under Linux?
No, but it's something I'm interested in. I started to develop Ensoniq
Mirage and EPS MIDI transfer tools, and downloaded the SDS and SMDI
spec, but haven't started on those yet. There seems to be a serious
lack of SDS tools in Linux (please don't mention sox - I *know* it will
create something approximately like SDS, but it's not SDS and will
actually crash most samplers).
Which SCSI card are you using? Has anyone successfully used SMDI with a
USB-to-SCSI adaptor, or used one of these adaptors at all in Linux?
