On that subject, has anyone decided to instead build a Emulator X3 Windows PC with all sample packs instead of hunting for all of those ROM?
I've had a colleague convince me that the audio quality is superior with it due to the advanced in technology.
It's dampened my enthusiasm significantly with regards to my E-MU nostalgia, recently jolted by this 1h TV special on EMU http://youtu.be/pDS2sDg0eP0

Very thorough, Bruno! :)Of course the Stradavari are an unfair comparison ... but the point is not.What ever the production economies of scale with Emu gear, the real 'business model' story is that it had a relatively small market and was plucked as low hanging fruit by Creative for it's DSP and Audio technology to feed a mass market. Creative then took what it wanted and abandoned the rest.Whether people hold on to ROMs they no longer really want or use because they want to get the the current crazy prices or not is just a reflection of the most basic economic truth: things are worth what people will pay for them.DFCONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication with its contents may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
