RE: [xl7] Re: Chip IDs / Midi Quest

2004-02-13 by Turby Schmidt

Sorry to hear this experiences,
but one thing is programing an universal editor, without having support from 
the hardware [of course they shouldnt promise things never happens] 
manufacturing, and another thing is deliver hardware without an grafic 
editor...
i think we displace the problem if we talk bad about squest, and we dont 
mention emu. most of the equipment nowadays got an grafic editor, and it 
should have, i think the problem is that emu doesnt care too much about that 
issue, if they dont have programmers they could by a license from proteum or 
at least give a machine to squest, so they can write the instrument 
definition [they only need it a time, then they gonna give it back]... 
anyway... i would prefer get the instrument delivered with an editor...
