emulatorII-list

Hello Phil and everybody,

I'm relatively new to the group, but what you said about being caretakers
for this instrument resonates with me.  I would be interested in trading
sounds; I have about 900 disks mostly from the CD-ROMs.

I guess I better find time to learn about setting up a SD system.

Yes, that would be a nice thing. In spite of this recent "library for sale"
post,
I think that everyone with an E-II or DPX-1 would like as large a collection
of
sample banks to draw from as possible. We are the largest E-II user group on
the
net and the only visible remaining caretakers for this instrument.

We have tried in the past on this list to stimulate interest in trading
sample
banks online and the group file section has all the programs needed for
anyone
with a Sound Designer enabled system. The sad truth is though, out of over
200
members here, only two members (Heiko and myself) were interested in trading
online.

In the past, I have considered posting the entire E-II Factory Library in
the
group file section. Imagine how great it would be to buy an E-II with no
library
(as many of us have done) and then to find this group and have an instant
collection available.

However, we dont live in a perfect world. As long as there are people who
feel
that they can profit by selling disks on eBay etc, I will be staying away
from
doing that. I dont want people joining this group just to download free
banks and
then leaving without contributing anything. Furthermore, some of these
samples are
still commercially available from the original designers. Until we have
written
permission from the copyright holders, I am not willing to use this group
for
unauthorized distribution of their materials. I am just an Emulator-II
user/fan, I
am not a lawyer and have no desire to hire or become one.

For these reasons, I only share my banks via private FTP with an
upload/download
ratio to ensure fair non-profit trading and user verification. As previously

mentioned in message 878, if any group members here are interested in
trading
online in Sound Designer format via FTP; you can message me off-list (put
"E-II
Trades" in the subject line).

Thats my take on this subject, I would enjoy reading how others feel about
it.

Best,
-- 
-Phil
