They arent. All this stuff is end of life. It's not even on their website anymore.

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).From: "'Jon K. Carroll' joncarroll@... [xl7]" <xl7@yahoogroups.com>

Subject: Re: [xl7] Re: [p2k] Programmable ROMs?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.Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2015 3:29 PMSubject: Re: [xl7] Re: [p2k] Programmable ROMs?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.)
