Emax

Hey Homershines,

I have a powerbook 160 I found in the garbage with OS 7.5.1 and I was able to install alchemy, but I always got that couldn't find keymap or something like that error.  SO I need to have a midi interface hooked up to the mac as well as the RS cable?  I thought the RS cable handled all of that.

Mind you this powerbook has seen better days, but it still works, the contrast of the screen fluctuates and the track ball doesn't track so well, but if I can get it to work I could get used to it, all I'd do is load wavs to transfer through a floppy.

Thanks for looking at this, there are a few more people having this trouble on list and a solution would be great.

But ideally something on the PC that could spit out em1 files would be best.  I'd even use EMX to write the disk if I could just feed my emax wavs.

  Don't think you can get Alchemy to work with Apple II.
  I'd really be surprised. Alchemy is a much later invention.

  As for your Mac problem, you should give it a lil more time. 

  Do you have a midi cable and RS422 attached?
  Which Mac, OS & version of Alchemy?

  I used to live off of Alchemy. It made my Emax II even more awesome.

  Let me know what you've got going on.

  Peace.

  em1 files to load into my emax.  Either through floppy or Zip 
  drive.  I tried alchemy on an old mac with the cable from emulator 
  archive, but I always got the same error that other's recently 
  reported.  So basically I just want to be able to pass audio from 
  the PC to the Emax,  dont need any particular settings to be 
  adjustable, even if they loaded with a default key assignment of one 
  key per sample I could change that in the emax.

  emax all the time, and I could always just sample from the PC to the 
  emax, but it is a bit less elegant that sampling from a turntable or 
  just converting the sounds.
