ELoader and the MAC

2005-02-16 by M A C Daddy

Anyone running this with a PowerMAC/Powerbook?  Was there any problems?

me: Powermac - no problems at all. Important to get OMS configured
correctly first - and then launch Eloader. After that - no problems at
all, just normal OS9 workarounds when (if) you get stuck, and that
means rebooting and opening OMS first - IF you get stuck. If you do
that and you are still stuck - it probably measn that OMS is not
configured correctly.

To use eloader you need to be able to start up in OS9.  Opening Classic while OSx is 
running won't work.  You'll also need the OPCODE OMS app.  If I remember correctly, it's 
on the emu cd along with the eloader app.  

I've had to keep my old iMac around just for the emu/elaoder.  My new Powerbook won't 
start up in OS9.

Hope this helps
Mike

I couldn't get it to work.  E-loader only works in OS9.

I just had an idea...

Can I use a midi program to download the midi patterns via something
like ProTools?

No.  The XL-7 uses closed-loop (handshaked) file transfer.

I doubt it, unless ProTools implements the MMA's smf sysex transfer 
protocol.

I believe E-Loader uses sysex commands to transfer the patterns. The 
e-mu converts the patterns into sysex packets based on the MMA's 
specifications for such transfers. E-loader reassembles the sysex 
packets into standard midi files so you can store them on disk (and 
vice versa).

*I just had an idea...
 Can I use a midi program to download the midi patterns via  something 
 like ProTools?

No, you cannot 'download' the pattern, but you can record the midi outs 
of your emu device into protools.  Once you have the recorded the midi 
file into protools, you can use that to trigger a blank pattern w/ the same 
preset voicings on your sound module.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
