E-mu Emulator Sampler User Forum for the EIII EII EI and EIII XP - Recent Posts

Pm'd Thanks

I have all the samples from David Bascombe library (he sold it with his EII on ebay), some of them were used for TFF and some for the DM "Music for the masses"...

Trying to track down the Tears For Fears samples, can anyone help?

Im involved in a tribute project and just trying to find them.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi

I don't know about the layout of the EII discs unfortunately.

But instead of buying an expensive EII you could maybe consider the much less expensive Oberheim DPX-1. The DPX-1 loads EII discs amongst other formats. Ebay usually have several DPX-1's on sale.

Just my two cents.

Hi,

1 try to connect EIII directly to midi keyb and figure if its EIII problem and not DAW.
2 check the cable and clean the contacts on the cable from CPU board to the output board.
3 the problem with MIDI can be caused by the faulty IC32 on cpu board - but its almost impossible to find replacement, I have a faulty one as well...

Can anyone recommend a technician in the U.S. who specializes in Emulator repairs?  My EIII has a couple of control panel issues that are beyond my ability to repair.

Hi there E-mu family,
I have an EIII bought in L.A. in 1989, Model 6081, Serial #0890671, and I recently had the original Internal 40 Mb Quantum HD replaced by an SCSI2SD 3.5" card, including a 50-pin SCSI to SD Card Adapter.
A 4 Go SD card was formatted with EMXP v311 and EIII OS 2.42 copied with HDD Raw Copy and it is now the Internal Drive the EIII boots from. It boots and works flawlessly, with the factory 4 Mb ram installed.

We then purchased the 8Mb memory upgrade kit 6084, featuring 8 x 1 Megabyte SIMM?s (1C356) + 2 IC, RAS PAL (IP376) and Address PAL (IP377), and installed it thoroughly according to the E-mu Systems Inc. memory expansion instructions manual, but unfortunately, the unit won?t boot anymore?
It starts loading from the SD card (SCSI #1) (or even the Floppy drive), but get stuck in the process and never completes the task. As soon as we re-install the old 4 Mb kit however, the unit boots and works without any problems.
 
Any suggestions ? Would anybody be aware of some incompatibility issues with Ram upgrade on certain EIII models ?
Could the problem be defectuous PAL376 and 377 circuits ? I was told that bad ram modules won?t prevent the EIII to boot.
Any idea of some tests to perform ?

Many thanks for your suggestions and advices.

Hi members ,

Did you have any issue regarding notes that get stucked?
Basically I use a ProTools with MacBook pro , Digi 003 as sound card & the Emu III with just the input midi connected.
My master keyboard is a Roland D20.
As soon as I create several midi channels , say from 1 to 8, I experienced random stuck notes. Sometimes I also have a big note (big long length) at the bottom of the scrolling midi editor , C1 note...
Did you have this problem before ? Divtou have a solution to resolve it please ?
Apart all this I definitely love the sound of it & understand more and more why so many people are fascinated by those old samplers.

Hello - fellow EII users.  I am interested in buying an Emuser as I dont have the skill set to build one my self.  Any recommendations on where I could find one FS?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi ,

Did you copy on your zulu partition disk the little file called "ZuluSCSIv1_0-1.0.9-4e2112b.bin " ? Without that it cannot be recognized by the EIII.
