Hello all,

I've only ever interfaced my E6400 Ultra to Midi and a SCSI Zip for storage. Now I have a PC running XP with Cubase SL3, and if possible would like to get the EMU sample files into the PC. Is it possible with a USB to SCSI adaptor, with the SCSI end connected to either the EMU direct or to the Zip drive? If not, can it be done any other way, for example by installing a SCSI card in my PC?

PS. I recently asked EMU (Creative) this question and they sugested I try a users forum, as they hadn't tried a USB to SCSI adapter yet.

Thanks for your time,

Joumb

A SCSI card in the PC will definitely work, and will probably cost less than a USB-SCSI adapter. You might need some software as well - what do you have already? (Sound Forge, ReCycle, anything like that?).

I've only got Cubase at the moment, I know I'll have to get something like Sound Forge to handle the different file type. What do you sugest?

I'd try Translator Free first (it's um... free) - this is good for shuffling samples around between SCSI devices: http://www.chickensys.com/downloads/translator_free.php

Did anyone succeed with connecting his Emu Ultra sampler
via a SCSI <> USB converter (or Firewire) on Windows XP?

I was thinking of trying the Adaptec USB2Xchange.

This guy seems to get it up-and-running with a E5000 Ultra:

Maybe we should try to contact him?

Seems like it works quite well with an Emu.

Total Opinion (0/10)
- Since how long use it?
- Which is the characteristic which you like more, less?
- had tested many of other models before acquiring it?
- How consider you to it qualit?/prix report/ratio?
- With would the experiment, remake this choice?...

Ok hello, just a small word while passing: this adapter is not compatible with the TWE of Yamaha which requires drivers ded chart SCSI to standard ASPI, just like the Adaptec chart out of PC card. Indeed, only the charts intern Adaptec which plug in NCV respect this standard. For information, TWE is the Yamaha software which is used to make import/export with the samplers of series A and the RS7000.

Used since 1 years to communicate on chains scsi with:
- a samplor ultra E5000
- an external reader CD
- a reader Jaz Iomega 1Go

Practical:
- Not need for instaler of chart NCV... when a portable PC is used it is quite practical... one connects, one disconnects... wouaou data processing for the null ones
- the instalation with Windaube is perfect, of the good plug' N play...
- This chart uses the USB1 but currently I believe that it became USB2...

For 75euros, I find report/ratio Q/P rather tr?s good...

Worse 10/10 because still never known of prob...
