it wouldn’t be any harder to prosecute than any other software piracy
case... if they were still actuiively selling the ROMs, or Proteus VX or
EmulatorX, maybe they would.

Just so its clear...

There will be a requirement to
reset the module after reprogramming except for live sounds where the module
thinks its just looping and the SIMM is providing updated data based on live
input. For live sounds there is a practical limit on the number of sounds that
could be made live siulataneously (like four stereo samples or something).
�
Copyright is an issue if you
want to replicate E-MU's ROMs. They probably wouldn't care. too hard to
prosecute.
�
In the end it would be good to
have a library of sounds and you construct a ROM image from it. In particular I
would like to have a 128MB grand piano with four layers (one in each of the SIMM
image areas).

I’m pretty sure that the copyright for
the ROMs won’t run out for another 80 years, at least in the states. One of my
other concerns is how the P2k engine will react to dynamically changing samples.
You’re also likely to find that the P2k software can only address so much
memory... (it is memory, not storage. Hence why it can be used in the RAM slots
of an e5k or higher sampler...) Many of us would be happy with a programmable
flash ROM that we can stick an SD card into that just copies the contents to
faster flash or something, I personally am not concerned about rewriting it
every two seconds over USB or streaming audio through USB.

I was under the impression that this
project would be for people to create their own banks, and to store them on a
new ROM design as opposed to copying commercial ROMs. Despite the fact that the
original ROMs are no longer being manufactured and sold (except for already
existing ROMs in a re-sale market), I worry about possible legal issues. (I am
not a legal expert, though.)
