Hi everyone,
Some kind person gave me a E4k Emu Sampling Synthesis Controller there are a few hitches like the HDD is gone but that's not why I'm posting.
When he gave me the controller he did not have the boot up stiffy disc Is there any one here who is kind enough to e-mail it to me please as I cannot do anything with the controller, Please could some one help me

I have 2 discs which are the samples but no stiffy (boot up disc)

Please PM me if you can help and I will give you my e-mail address

What do you need a boot up disk for?

I was told that you needed a boot up disc to start the Controller, remember there's no HDD and when you start the controller it does nothing it just shows Boot V0.36 or something to that effect and nothing else

What's the stiffy drive for if I may ask?
Please remember that I'm a bass player with little knowledge of these machines and hopefully time to come with help from you guys I will be able to get to know it, please be patient with me thanks

Actually, I don't have the faintest clue to what you are talking about. When you start up your keys you should get some boot up screens, and end up in one of the modes. Have you read the manual? You should see either a range of sliders (one of the multimode-views), a list of channels and according presets (multimode-view), or something like "P001 - No preset" in big letters (singlemode-view). It really does not mather wheter you have an internal harddrive or not.

I suggest you read the manual, and you probably would understand a bit more. It's for download at the main page.

What do you see when you boot up?

Hi there, yeh maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

1) When I start up the controller all I get on the screen is 'boot vo,36
Now I know I'm not that crazy but nothing else comes up so when I get this message I don't know what to do?

When I asked someone about this he said I needed a boot up disc so really If you don't know what I'm talking about and I don't know what I'm talking about then the guy who originally said I needed a stiffy boot up disc does not know what his talking about, You telling me that when you switch on the machine I should see a series of commands on the display screen then I'm afraid I will have to dump this machine because it now sounds to me that it's totally finished and ready for the dust bin, Common sense would have told me like you said, that if I switched on the controller I should see what you say I should see but alas! all I see no matter what is the words"Boot V0.36" what this means I have no idea yes I've looked at the manuals not right through but at a glance, when I press Dec or in nothing happens, press disc nothing happens, press F1 etc nothing happens thr screen just stays the same 'Sigh'

Strange...

Could it be that, since there's no HD, the E4K cannot load the default empty bank? Just a guess...

The thing is, if it doesn't boot up, it's not even good as a MIDI controller!

pm me your address and I'll send you a floppy disc with EOS3.0 on it but I'm not convinced that'll solve the problem.

I've tried booting my e-synth without a hdd, and the default bank is stored in some rom or something, so that would not be the problem.

It sounds like you might have a problem with your e4k, but don't throw it away just yet. I would have tried to reinstall the operating system, just to see if that's the problem.

That's just it ...that's the problem How do you reinstall the Operating system and with what???...That could well be the answer I'm looking for...I think?...Where in the world do I get the Operating System from?

See my reply to your pm.

If the instructions don't work, send me your full snail mail address and I'll send you a floppy with EOS 3.0b on it.

Ole is right, you have to try that first.

I think this is the answer will wait and see...The repair guy calls it a 'boot up disc in actual fact it's the EOS 3.0b that his after any way thanks
