Emu Preferences |
Destination Type
This dictates what type of Emu files you will translate into. For example, if you are translating an Akai Program and dropping it onto a Emu drive, your action does not imply what type of Emu file you want written, since Emu disks are the same for every Emu file format. Translator will translate the Akai Program into whatever you have selected.
Default: Write E4/EOS files
Fix Files
If you have lot's of .eos files, or .esi files, you can convert them to the new EOS FAT format automatically using this option.
Default: unchecked
Disk Checksums
Older Emu's, and older Windows operating systems, tend to render disks unusable because they miswrite or overwrite the disk "checksum", which insures the integrity of the boot sector. This option gives you different methods of fixing it if there is a problem.
Default: Warn if checksum needs repairing
(E3/ESi) Immediate Sample Read
Pre-EOS Emu formats do not list the sample names in the Bank or Preset areas. What this means is that if you are using the Translator interface, and you are selecting a Bank/Preset to see the sample names, especially off a CD-ROM and its a large file - this can take a significant period of time, since Translator has to go all over the disk just to grab the sample names.
The default behavior is unchecked; so what comes up is something like {Sample 23} to reference the sample. If you click on this - THEN Translator will go and get the sample name. However, if this is checked, Translator takes the time at the beginning to go out and get all the names.
Default: unchecked
Keep Emu file as is when no translation is required
Checking this insures that no cross-Emu translations will take place if it is not necessary. Suppose you want to take an EOS file off an Emu disk and write it as an .eos file on your DOS drive. If this is checked, and if the Write...files parameter is set to something other than EOS, such as E3, Translator will not translate it and simply write it as the normal EOS file.
Default: checked
Use EOS FAT file type extensions (.e4b, .e3b, .e3x)
When converting into Emu DOS counterpart files, these type of files are used, instead of the Translator-derived .eos and .esi (which preserve the real Bank name).
Default: unchecked
Use EOS FAT number/naming scheme (e.g. B.023-etc.)
The EOS 4.7 uses a numbering scheme to preserve it's system of Bank numbers. This option uses it when you are converting into EOS FAT style files.
Default: unchecked
Emu Disk Format - Rewrite ONLY Boot Sector
Emu programs Fades within the KeyRange and Velocity parameters. Sometimes in a translation you do not want these to be considered, for polyphony issues, mainly. Checking these causes Translator to ignore the Fade values in both the KeyRange and Velocity areas.
Default: unchecked
(EOS) Do not create Multisamples
An EOS Preset contains Voice, and those Voices can contain more than one Zone, and they may overlap. Those Zones use the Voice parameters. If this option is checked, any conversion into EOS will write one Zone only for each Voice.
Default: unchecked
Ignore Key And Vel Fades
Emu programs Fades within the KeyRange and Velocity parameters. Sometimes in a translation you do not want these to be considered, for polyphony issues, mainly. Checking these causes Translator to ignore the Fade values in both the KeyRange and Velocity areas.
Default: unchecked
Velocity Grid
This option lines up Velocity values so the line up on a grid, so they aren't all over the place - sometimes older Programs have them shifted around so they overlap or become incongruous by mistake.
