The simm (the one I have made) has the option for populating a microcontroller which can support a usb interface on the simm. That is, not the one on the command station. You would need a Ian cable hanging out of the proteus module to use it. But that's down the track a ways.

The USB on my XL7 is for MIDI  transfer only, not sounds ! . . . but I was told when I bought my XL7, that it would be possible to create a sound with whatever you want, then sample it into an Emu Ultra sampler and when you had loaded enough sounds you could burn all of them onto a SIMM chip and install it in a command station . . . that was the dream anyway, then 6 month later Emu discontinued both products. Thanks Emu ! ! !  . . . Will this ever be possible ? Once again Jack Pratt Thanks for your efforts !

A special programming board. You should be able to use it in an ultra (or audity 2k or p2k) but you don't use that to program it. Moving the board from device to device is bogus so ultimately it would be good to program it in the system you want to use it in even if you need to do that with a pc.

If we can't load samples from an E-mu sampler, what do we load the SIMM with ? BTW . . . sorry about your computer and thanks for your efforts !

Sigh...

Someone broke my computer so the FLASH SIMM project has been on hold. I had exams and starting a new job to contend with so too busy to sort things out. I still haven't got back to a setup which can program the SIMMs that I have made but it shouldn't take too much longer to do it.

I noticed a question about being able to program these SIMMs from an ultra sampler but that is not likely unless you want to reprogram the emu sampler.

We'll have to see how it proceeds from here.
