emusonacid!

Hi Vout,
Still appears that the your upload is still not available from the downloads page or the downloads directory. Doesn't look as though thre has been ay activity since '03.

If you - or anyone else - could post banks to me, I'd be happy to host them somehere for everyone else to pick up.

Thanks again.

I have them on a CD (thanks Vout) but I can't get them onto a floppy disk - they just won't write. Tried dos and eos formats ! It just says saving bank and doesn't get past 0% !
The disk drive is ok because I can load my Classic presets.
I use a laptop with an external usb floppy drive to format, but this wouldn't be the problem would it ?

Looking at the Ultra presets it seems they're most, if not all, of the original E Syn & Orbit/Phatt with more variations added as well. Around 1000 presets in all. And yes, you can load them into the Classic.

So, how can I get them onto a floppy to email them ?
If not, I'll copy the CD and post it.

On a dfferent note, My new E6400 Ultra doesn't seem to recognise my CD Rom drive - which works perfectly with the E Syn Classic ! It's a Toshiba.
Also, when booting with the CD Rom connected to the Zip scsi drive (terminated) I get multiple Zip Icons but no Rom drive !
Any ideas ?
I'm going to be selling the E Synth Classic (rack) - let me know if anyone has interest.

The fact that you have multiple drives appearing for once device means a combination of either:

1. two devices trying to share SCSI bus at same time (signal errors)

Check SCSI settings to determine the Samplers ID is different from all drives, and the internal termination is correct

Check also that the sampler is not ignoring another master on the ID of the external drives

2. SCSI termination is not right - even if it "seems" correct, the termination MUST be the PHYSICAL last and first devices. Also combining active and passive termination can cause issues - go passive passive or active active on each end if you can.

3. Long cables or bad cables/connectors. SCSI is notorious for this since you have 25 twisted pairs per cable and fine wires - a single line crack can mush up scsi big time.

I had this exact symptom when setting up my CF drive - multi drives all looking same etc - it was the device ID + termination combination. Took about an hour of faffing about to fix it.

Thanks Kalide, the Sampler's ID conflicted with the Zip !
Now both the Zip and CD Rom are working as normal.

Well, finally managed to get the Ultra presets on to floppy disk (I wasn't waiting long enough. It seems to spend 11 or 12 mins at 0% then jumps up to 99% and finishes !)

I've sent them to seany mor so hopefully they'll extract ok and work !
