emusonacid!

I want to send files from my mac to my emu e64000Ultra via SMDI since I have no SCSI card. I know you can do this, but how? I'm running recycle 2.0 on OS9 and everything else on OSX. When I go into recycle the sampler transmit and sampler recieve buttons are greyed out. What do I have to do to make this work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try going into the recycle preferences/sampler setup and select generic midi sample dump (or sumthin)

Soz I'm not next to my music comp.

It seems that all of the relevant menu options in recycle are greyed out so I'm kinda stuck. Any ideas? I was hoping that I could do this without having OS9 soundcard drivers installed. Think I may be out of luck.

Ratty, wot SCSI card do u have in your Mac? Have u tried any other SCSI utility like the Adaptec power domain control panel to establish whether the Mac has communication with the card?

I'm running a G5 and there's no compatible SCSI cards made for them as of yet. I was hoping that the SMDI dump would be a way around it. Looks like I'm well and truly fucked.

Forget about MIDI sample dump. It takes forever and only works with mono samples.

G5 huh, nice if u had of mentioned that 1ST

Anywayz, the only SCSI card with the PCI-X connect is the ATTO PCI Express U3S card attotech.com. The card is very pricey along with being total overkill as far as SMDI is concerned. For now its the only solution on the G5, hopefully soon Adaptec will bring to market a PCI-X SCSI-2 narrow card.

Obviously, you are running Classic inside Mac OS X. Again there is no solution here really working for SCSI , like u said the OS X version of Recycle has the SMDI to hardware removed feckin class A Assholes !!!

Ok so now under OS X, u mentioned SDS, this is slow as hell, i never found anything in OS X working either. Spark in Mac OS 9x worked but i never bothered with trying it under Classic in X, and running Spark natively in X never worked either. However, DSP-Quattro has the ability to do SDS (midi sample dump), it runs under Mac OS X natively. The downside, is that the demo has this function disabled so maybe u need to email the developer an tell him your major grief situation an u need to test that SDS is working in his app under X , mention this may be the ONLY sample transfer solution to your EMU (they are nice guys btw).

While i feel your pain an frustration man, this really is some fsck'd up situation. I blame Apple again for dumping standards b4 the industry is even ready. This shit pisses me to no end.
Saying that tho I think u screwed up with your purchase man, u should have done your research, u would have learned all this b4 u shelled out the $$ for the G5. U would have been better to have bought a 1.25 Ghz G4, since its the last machine that can boot Mac OS 9x and also has regular PCI slots for any SCSI card. These are very inexpensive machines, fast an they would have been a better workable solution from now until the G5 and SCSI card situation is worked out.

ez man

Thanks for the reply mate, although I did actually get the emu quite a bit after the g5 and I use it for graphics also. But fuck it, I'll soldier on and record each drum hit one by one like I have already been doing. At the end of the day it still sounds better than the exs24 and that's all I really care about

ez roode boyee, yia if u have time and the patience, sample em to the EMU, gonna sound loads better than POS joke of an EXS - barf...blow that shit mon.
