Digital sound factory is your best route. Tim Swartz, the owner of �DSF,was the head of E-mu sound design for 20 plus years. I have not been an E-mu employee for nearly 10 years, so what�I what I have to offer would be limited, I'm not even sure if parts would be available for such old equipment. The idea be hide custom flash roms was to give the user a�way to share samples and instruments created by the E4 Ultra, basically satellite E4's.�The Flash board was a proprietary part designed by E-MU, those will be hard to find. Tim would be a good person to chat with though, if there's a way he will know.

����I rejoined the list as an artists that loves his command stations and is excited to see so many people still using them, reminding of the first drawing,concept proposal and specification I wrote for version 0.1 close to 15 years ago.

I am in a totally different industry now so a lot of the underlying technology, chips, circuit boards etc. discussions are going to be beyond my scope. But I will help as much as can, the nice thing is I'm will be completely unfiltered now, might�even give you my real opinion of Ensoniq at some point.

I believe Digital Sound Factory owns the sample rights.

I tried to go to this URL this morning, but got internal server error.

Here is the Wikipedia link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Sound_Factory

I must assume that Creative owns the hardware patents, as they purchased E-Mu

I haven't seen Aaron chime in here in a few years; not sure he is still watching the list.� Sean of E-Mu recently rejoined.� Maybe he wants to chime in.�

It might be nice if those of us who would want to see the creation of new samples, presets, banks, etc. for our well-loved "legacy" gear had a tool that would cross-compile resources for the new ROMs as well as the Proteus X/Proteus VX/Emulator X line.� As I mentioned before, I think it would be great to a large number of original arp patterns (i.e., designed by users) on one of newly designed�ROM.

Perhaps an arrangement could be made with�whoever might own the rights to the original samples or has the official imprimatur to resell them (if such a person exists) to repackage them. It might be nice to know what the terms were, too.� Were the samples work-for-hire? If so, did rights revert back to the artists who created the samples and presets after the gear reached the end of its useful life? Does anyone know?
