so from what i'm reading, EMXP isn't going to give us the best sound
quality? i've never had any distortion problems using it myself, but i've
never done tests to compare using EMXP to manually sampling into the
machine.

to use midi sample dump, do i need to set the sample rate to match the Emax
default? how long does a midi sample dump take for a full bank (or maxed
out data of 512 ram)?

thanks
