Title: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Schnooker on October 03, 2016, 09:45:28 AM Hello.
Please pardon my lack of knowledge, but is it possible for me to use the Mac OS Editor for my E3 via a SCSI to USB cable? I don't know how to connect the two machines. Any help would be wonderful! Many thanks. Stpehen Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Schnooker on October 04, 2016, 02:57:36 PM 13 views and no replies..
C'mon guys - any help with this would be really appreciated! Stephen Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on October 05, 2016, 03:42:55 AM No, it doesn't work.
Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Schnooker on October 05, 2016, 04:54:49 AM Thank you Wolfman for your reply, but could you tell me how to actually connect the two together?
Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on October 05, 2016, 08:10:06 AM The only way to connect a modern computer to the EIII is MIDI.
There was never a program for RS422 communication and SCSI communication is only supported by Mac OS classic programs. Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Schnooker on October 05, 2016, 09:49:32 AM Hello, sir, and thank you again for your reply, however, I'm not sure we're on the same page here. I'm trying to use this editor http://eiiiforum.com/index.php?topic=2694.0 on my iMac to connect to my E3k to enable me use my iMac's screen for editing, as opposed to the little screen on the actual E3 - my eyesight is terrible and I'd love to be able to edit the E3 via the above linked OSX editor, but I don't know how to connect the two machines together.
I hope this helps? Stephen Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on October 06, 2016, 01:34:56 AM MIDI !!!

Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Syncla on October 06, 2016, 10:14:42 AM or you buy an older Mac ( SE or powermac with serial ports) sometimes i had my E III k on a special port on my PowerMac G 4 Mirrordoor. Than you can use SoundDesigner or Alchemy or other older Progs.
I´m looking for an RS 422 to USB option too, in fact that i just bought an Emax SE Plus. If you find a solution, please tell me. Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on October 06, 2016, 12:38:24 PM As I sayed, the only way is MIDI.
Syncla, what you did is using the serial port as I/O port but the protocol was MIDI. So it is very slow for sample editing. For removing the EIII it is ok and this is what the new remote software does. All Sample editors used SCSI for sample dump on a EIII. But nobody has the protocol anymore. So there is no way to build a program for this on modern systems. Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: dr.c on October 08, 2016, 03:01:37 AM What about "Alchemy" ?
Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on October 08, 2016, 05:04:13 AM What about "Alchemy" ? On old (classic) Macs it is no problem to use SCSI and Alchemy works fine, but on modern (OSX) no way.Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: dr.c on October 08, 2016, 10:59:08 AM I bought a Mini Mac PPC (20 Euros) in wich I've put an SSD and 10.4.11 wich allows to use Alchemy.
Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: wirefall on October 19, 2016, 01:35:51 PM What about "Alchemy" ? My setup: Old PPC 9600 with G4 and USB card > USB to SCSI Converter > SCSI cable > EIII Works with Alchemy ;D Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Syncla on January 12, 2017, 12:17:39 AM Hi wirefall,
which SCSI to USB converter do you use? Still have my G 4 Mirrordoor. Title: Re: SCSI to USB for Mac OS E3 Editor Post by: Wolfram on January 12, 2017, 03:10:30 AM For a G4 use a Adaptec or Atto SCSI PCI card.
But not the Adaptec 2930! |
