emusonacid!

Ok, here's my config:

E4X (so, non Ultra)
72Mo
1 MoPhatt Rom Board already installed.

Now, i would like to know if it is possible, and how, to create a new Rom with my own favorite samples on it.
I understand that some Proteus Rom boards will work in (some???) EMUs.
Can I buy one of those and erase it's content to replace it with my own samples and programs?

Thanks in advance.

hello
it 's a Rom !!
you can't write on it ...
you need Ram & burn it

Actually, I've heard that the situation isn't quite that clear... towards the end of the production runs on the E-mu Proteus 2000 expansion sound ROMs, they started burning some of them on a Flash RAM SIMM instead of a ROM. Occasionally, there have been some people who accidentally erased the Flash RAM (having thought it was a ROM and couldn't be erased). One or two of those people actually had an e4 Ultra lying around and they could re-write the RAM in the unit. Be careful... I doubt you really want to erase MoPhatt, even if it is a RAM instead of a ROM.

But, in general, christ is right... on the assumption that ROM is (as it claims) a ROM (Read Only Memory), you would actually have to find yourself a 16Mb or 32Mb Flash RAM SIMM (not easy to find these days... most Flash RAM gets used in Flash memory cards for cameras and such these days, I haven't found anybody still making even 32MB SIMMS). Then you can load it into an Ultra series e4 (it will not write in a Classic series unit) and load it with your own custom samples. These would become instruments in a Proteus 2000-family unit, and you could then build P2K presets around them. On the Ultra, the presets would be built in the Ultra's own preset Flash RAM, not on the RAM SIMM (for reasons I'm not entirely clear on... other than that, while conceptually similar, the preset data from the e4 and P2K are not actually directly compatible)

All of this is a bit moot, as you only have a Classic unit. You could get somebody else with an Ultra to write a RAM for you (if you had a RAM), but you can't do it yourself in that machine.

been doing some searching online. seems like there is alot of flash simms available. just not super cheap.

for example.. 16mb simms seem to be everywhere.. 32 not so easy to find. but im sure they are around

do you think it would be possible to use a 64 or even 128 mb flash ram simm instead? i have 128mb ram in my sampler.. so would i be able to write to a flash ram larger than 32mb.. can the p2k (or other emu modules) support larger than 32mb flash simms?

i would love to get some of these and make my own sample libraries in for my p2k

i have brand new original 32meg flash rams. i only have a few and just listed them on ebay. if you want an opened one that was used i can do it for 300.


if you need an orbit phat rom i have that as well.
