If you experience problems using EOS 4.7 beta then we reccomend you down rev to EOS 4.61, the last official release of EOS software for Emulator Ultra samplers.

The "Last" being the final official release from emu or the previous release?

What do you think?

:)

if 4.61 was the final release, they sure didn't provide many effects for a ?500 dsp card( that was meant to be in development with the prospect of 3rd party plugins if memory serves).

just my thoughts, please don't flame me with the institutional evil of the corporate machine etc

:)


ps: my own hunch is that Emu obviously scrapped all hardware sampler development/bug fixes during the creative take over, leaving behind the rfx mess that we are familiar with. Sweep it under the carpet, don't let the shmucks that bought the card, know whats going to happen, keep em in the dark etc.

rant over :P

Hrm, i think the hardware sampler project was scrapped when EmulatorX became a priority.

If u care to recall, Creative bought out EMU in 1993.

That said, i completely agree with your comments, EMU should finish the job, now more than ever they should release a USB 2.0/Firewire expansion card for the hardware to integrate with Emulator X. Not necessarily as a software front end to control the EMU as was previously anticipated , the more pressing concerns are :

1) getting samples into an out of the EMU hardware (most samples now days reside and managed on the computer)
2) supplying modern external storage options
3) Sample Transfers using Firewire or USB 2.0 (its getting harder to get SCSI cards and OS's are not providing the support they once did.

Firewire could be used as an external storage option an the USB 2.0 could be used as a means of connecting USB thumb drives as a removable storage alternative.

I doubt this would happen but it would be nice for such options. My crystal ball tells me many music producers will return back to using hardware synths and samplers after they come to their senses and realize how terrible software sounds.

huh? Am I overlooking something, what about the v4.7 so many of us (incl. me) are allready using?

It's the same one as far as I know. Eos 4.7 was first put up on the Emu server, as is and now appears to have been back tracked to beta status on there main web page.

The plot thickens

They are referring to the fact that E-MU originally released EOS 4.7 on their site a few years back, then promptly removed it. Then, earlier this month posted it as a beta. According to an Emulator X user, this is most likey due to the fact that 4.7 offers the most painless way to migrate your data to Emulator X due to FAT support.

...Fuck I hate E-MU/Creative!
