emulatorII-list

Perhaps some of you may know already that the RS422 project has made a big step forward last week.
Based on a prototype device created by Julian from the Yahoo Emax Group, I succeeded in transferring sound banks between the Emax and my Windows PC after applying some small changes to the device and its firmware.

I have tested this custom built RS422<-->USB device now also with the Emulator II, and after some additional changes these tests were successful too.

I'm able now to upload SD for EII files from my Windows PC directly to the EII, and of course also to unload banks from the EII towards the PC.

The transfer time is currently about 20 seconds (as opposed to 13 with the Mac) but I'll try to further optimize this.

Julian is now upgrading the device in order to remove the "prototype" label of it: adding proper connectors, safety circuits, a nice little case, a led, and so on. After this has been done, the device (and/or its schematics) will be available to everyone I guess.
 
EMXP will of course be upgraded also in order to support the Emax and Emulator II file transfers.

We also have already a rough and wild idea about developing a stand-alone version of this device: a little box which can be connected to the RS422 port of the EII and which can hold a USB memory stick for reading/writing soundbanks, without any PC hooked up to the EII. But we are not working on this (yet) !

A happy new year to everyone !

Wow !!

Great news !!

I can't wait to try this out myself !!

Merry Christmas to all on this list.

Absolutely smashing news !

A USB-storage device would be supercool.

I recently bought the strangely named Ultrasatan for my Atari and believe 
me, once configured and up and running is a joy to have. No more noisy 
harddrive........( Anyone wants a Megafile 30 ? )

This Emulator II <-> Windows PC interface sounds great. Good job! Very keen to use this - I've recently bought an EII+. Looking forward to hearing more...

Hi E-Synthesist
 
Wauv, I think it's really great news that you've succeded transfering banks between the PC and the Emax/EII. I've followed your thread with great interest and I'm looking forward to see the progress on your next project with the standalone device for the RS422. This mean that the Emax/EII without HD could be used for live sessions.
 
Keep up your nice work :-)
 
Happy new year to everybody
 
Brian

This is great progress !  I'll be building one of these interfaces as soon as I can review the schematics & BOM, when released.  Please keep me informed and point me to where I can review the materials.

thanks a lot !
David
