This is another gearslutz cross post, but I have done some cleanup of the directories to make them quicker to navigate on the S2400. Folders with thousands of files were pared down to subfolders since long lists seem to slow scrolling in the assign/preview screen. There is a lot of cool s#!t in here, so if you hadnt seen this before do check it out. There are folders with .EII files(a container for the audio and patch settings) that can be opened on your emulator II or the Arturia EII V, and there are wav files that most anything can open. I didnt resample these to 44.1 so you may notice you have to pitch shift them. Some are 25-28khz sample rate so they playback a touch fast. Ive also noticed that preview mode sometimes does not play the audio back, but once you assign it to a pad it will play back. Assuming that is when the audio engine re-samples it?
Will do- I tried it with a file that I had an issue with earlier and it worked. I have found some full length songs do not preview reliably, but this may or may not be a different thing.
Not part of the EII library, but this file will not play or previewā¦ The only thing I can see different about this particular file is that it was converted to WAV from MP3 and has picture info embedded in the wav headerā¦
Thanks for the example. Although the RIFF standard does not specify an order for the chunks, this one is rather atypical. @av500 will take a look at it.
Iām curious as to which folder is considered the first or āArchive Iā ?
I noticed it starts (after the ā.EII filesā folder) at āArchive IIā then āArchive IIIā and then the alphabetical folders and then Proteusā¦ but no āArchive Iā
Ah, I seeā¦ I DLed the āEII Files folder,ā then deleted them, since I realized they arenāt wav files I could use, and I donāt have an Emulator II nor Arturia EII V to open them (unless the S2400 can open them?, I would re-DL them).
A dream feature request would be to take all the HFE files I have from my SP-1200 and read/import them to the S2400. Along those same lines the EII files are largely just a container that stores the sample data as well as keymap/envelope metadata. I do think they use an old telco data compression technique to store the samples though so that would need to be implemented.
Short answer is no, eii cant be read by anything other than Emulators or EII V (or the various sample translators out there) AFAIK
