Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

First off, thanks for referring me to the sound rom authoring 
guide.  That clarified some of what I was wanting to understand.

If I read it correctly, EOS can only author 15.9MB.  Any more than 
that and you get an error--perhaps the "bad file size" error. I 
thought the Proteus Sound ROMs (from E-Mu) had either 32 MB of sound 
data or 16 MB of sound data (as in the case of the Protozoa ROM).

Not sure if you were trying to burn > 15.9 MB. 
Not sure if the samples read into an Ultra are even the same samples 
read into a Proteus.

Also, the authoring guide (last page I think) has some tips--such as 
clearing the flash SIMM first, doing stuff in a certain order, etc.

If I get the hang of the sample (and I can find a flash SIMM), I'd 
want to do a "Best of . . ." compilation for my own use, so I'm very 
interested in seeing you succeed. I will re-read the authoring 
manual with your latest observations in mind. 

[I hope with the lack of traffic on this board (except for post by 
Mr. Link) no one minds having this conversation here.]

BTW, this AM I started compiling a spreadsheet of the EOS sysex 
editable preset parameters. My plan is to make a correspondence with 
Proteus sysex editable parameters. Not sure how close EOS presets 
can come to Proteus presets. I guess that's why when you author 
flash SIMMS for a Proteus, you need to do the presets on the Proteus.
