What it is |
The DPXTOOLS
software package contains five free tools for the Oberheim DPX-1 Digital
Sample Player: - DPXREAD: reads DPX 3.5" floppy disks and
creates a DPX diskimage on your PC's harddisk. - DPXWRITE: writes
DPX diskimages from your PC's harddisk to DPX 3.5" floppy disks. - DPXFORMAT: formats DPX 3.5" floppy disks. - E2DPX: translates EII files to DPX diskimages,
which can be written to disk with DPXWRITE. The EII files must be
SoundDesigner for Emulator II files (size 485887 bytes). EII Files can be obtained on the
internet, e.g. on the Emulator
II Yahoo Group or from Emulatorarchive (CDROM). - DPX2E2: translates DPX diskimages to EII files,
which can be used with SoundDesigner for EII and the Emulator II. The DPX
images must originally have been created from EII disks; DPX images based on
S900, P2000/2 and Mirage are not supported. These tools require
Windows XP or higher and an internal floppy drive (no USB drives !). All tools are
command line tools, so you'll have to open an MSDOS or COMMAND window in
Windows. Only DPX disks
are supported, not the S900, EII, Prophet2000/2 and Mirage disks themselves. DPX disks are
the disks you typically format on your DPX and on which you can "data
dump" soundbanks loaded from S900/EII/Prophet/Mirage disks. For more
information how to use these tools, simply run them without any parameter. Help
information will be provided by the tool. |

E2DPX |
E2DPX (included
in DPXTOOLS) enables you to use Emulator II sounds on your DPX player without
having to buy an Emulator II to create the EII disks first. (remember that
Emulator II disks can not be formatted/read/written by any PC) Disks of the
other 3 samplers can be created by a PC, so no additional tool is needed for
those ! |
