EmulatorII-list

hey rob - next question:

is it somehow possible to load my sp12 samples into my emulatorII 
and vice versa??? as you know i recently bought a sp12 and i got 
some discs with it, too. i tried to load but the emulator said:

"insert pref disk and press enter"

i haven´t tried to load an EII sample into the sp12 because i´m 
still looking for an 1541-II-floppy.

cheers - simon

Hi,
Good try! No, unfortunately they are different sample rates (27,777 EII,
27,500 SP-12), different sample resolutions(8-bit companded EII, 12-bit
linear SP-12) and diskette formats (sort of Unix, Commodore).

Keep the questions coming! Its about 20 years ago since Dave Rossum started
to design the Emulator II during a warm spring in Santa Cruz, shortly after
the run away success of the Drumulator in early 1983....

well,thanx -  did you ever get to know why the guys at emu didn´t 
make their machines compatible? i mean - someone who had the money 
to afford an EII back in the days, would have most likely a 
potential customer for an sp12, too...!!!

so what the heck???

cheers, simon :-)

Hi,
The EII was based on the Emulator I in terms of sampling rate, etc. Scott
and Dave took the opportunity to move up to 12-bits with the SP-12, and then
16-bits with the Emulator III in 1987. They couldn't use the EII sample
scheme as it was rather expensive to implement in a drum machine, it would
have put the price of the SP-12 up to $4000. Scott invented the touch
sensitive pads on the SP-12 and patented the design. He has recently
designed an in cockpit audio solution for light planes (which he flies over
Monterey Bay), which he intends patenting - he is still inventing ! Of
course Rossums latest design is the Audigy2.
