I would say lets go for it. But you're better off getting an Akai S5000 or Emu Ultra of some kind. Depends what kind of music
you're doing too. You're better off triggering an Emax 1 for cheap (warm) thrills. At least for the moment. The ROI on this project doesn't get me too stoked to be honest. Will see what happens I guess.

my electronic music teacher at city college (Sf) has that sampler but I asked him about all this a couple weeks ago and he had no idea what I was even talking about.
I believe its possible though because people in forums seem to have pulled it off. James maybe we can get some people in China to build custom chips for us? I think is just a 72 pin simm.
-mattSo it's Emu part number 6876 for the 16 MB and 6877 for the 32 MB flash roms. And then there are a handful of Emu samplers that will write to the sticks. I am not 100% on board that it absolutely has to be Emu's part number in order to work. Of course that's what the manual would say though. But I am tempted to think that any flash rom with the the right specs could possibly work. Now what would those specs be? I don't know yet and I don't have an Emu Ultra-whatever and a 6876/6877 flash ROM to try it yet. The information out there seems elusive on who actually has pulled this off and actually installed the custom flash rom in their Command Station and got it to work. It doesn't seem you can get a definitive answer from anyone yet. Just lots of fragmented stuff on forums, etc. Or did I miss something? Now my other question is do you absolutely need an Ultra sampler to write to a flash rom with programs like Awave that will write in one of the Emu formats that the Command Station will read?> want. I heard from the...
Sorry if all this has already been established. I am sure it has, but someone ramp me up quickly.
