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?

New subject: E-Mu ESI4000 SMDI
I found ESMDI on SourceForge and got SCSI transfers to the ESI4000
working. So far I've only tested sends to the sampler and that seems to
work well. I wrote up some docs at
http://t.dnlr.net/articles/linux-esi4000-smdi-transfers.html . I invite
any comments, suggestions or corrections. I'm planning on writing up
some scripts for various sample transfer tasks.
Does anyone know of any Linux utilities for the ESI file system? Being
able to manipulate banks programmatically would be great.
