When the E4 series of samplers was initially launched, the contemporary method for authoring new Emu CD volumes was to create the new content on the sampler itself, clone the hard drive bit-for-bit via SCSI, then blindly write back the raw data to CD-R. Fortunately, advances in technology have made … Continue reading
E-mu Emax II (Emu Emax 2) owners seeking to upgrade the memory of their unit may be aware that the only two standard methods to get the Emax II to recognize its full memory capacity are either the memory upgrade disks (ZD403 or ZD413) or the so-called “scrambled megs” procedure. … Continue reading
Unlike its older sibling–the SP1200, the E-mu SP12 contains permanent drum samples stored in ROM which can never be lost or overwritten. Due to the limited sampling time (even with the expanded Turbo model), it may be desirable to substitute the factory sounds for custom samples. This can be done … Continue reading
As E-MU ended production of their hardware samplers in 2003, they were getting ready to release the final Emulator in 2004 – Emulator X. This was a software-only Emulator, and was backwards compatible with the hardware Emulator IV series samplers as it could both read and write .E4B files. Important … Continue reading
Even though E-mu’s operation manual for the ESI series does technically state how multiple outputs can be used, it’s not clearly explained and is a bit ambiguous on some points. The goal of this primer is to bring the use of multiple discrete outputs into focus, especially within the context … Continue reading
