![]() ![]() ![]() I also have a Emu Xboard 61 keyboard controller and a while back I got Emulatr X2 up and running. Like the sound card I have in that computer which is a Emu 1820M. There was a time when that crap was cutting edge and some of it still has some unique features, and I won’t let that slip into oblivion without at least taking a deep look at what was so cutting edge about it. Too good to retire so I changed my mind and now it’s up and running on a dual boot with Win7 amd … don’t laugh … winXP. Oh, man! Did you have to drag this old thread back to life haha!Īnyways … this is 2021 and I have an retired old computer that’s pretty damn good when it was new. SF2 ones, as I’m almost sure that this format doesn’t support it) ? exb ones (especially the velocity cross fadings - Yes, it’s essential for me and I don’t ask about eventual. nki files will preserve all the data included in the. even if I reinstall ESC (would have to retrieve the necessary files and the account login), will it work under Windows 10 pro ? And how to update it (the version I have is not the most recent 3.6.1 one), as it seems to be now a more or less abandonware ?.nki files generated by ESC that weren’t usable with it. I quickly changed my mind, seeing the Kontakt Player at work with what was supposed to replace NI B4 and few others added free libraries : horrible interface, meh sounds and playability, this, with the. ![]() I purchased it several years ago, as I was seriously considering Kontakt, at the time, while seeing E-Mu being destroyed by Creative. I have ESC still installed on my old system. For this reason I bit the bullet when HALion 4 was released and jumped ship. I can’t imagine Steinberg would ever revive the Emulator X3, and the file format is probably not widespread enough to warrant the development time needed to add compatibility as a feature. Kontakt NKI or SF2, which HALion can read directly. exb files can be read by Extreme Sample Converter and saved as e.g. Revive E-mu in the Emulator X4 in VST3.5 format/functionality and ship all the X libraries with it! Right or wrong, that’s how I think of them. I don’t care what kind of labels (THX, etc) they associate with it, because it would take a lot to change it from being a PC sound card company. Still, Creative which obviously have the last word, seem more interested in pursuing “Sound Blaster”… (Notice how their sound cards are now “X”-Fi.)Īnd I guess the reason why I sound a bit sarcastic towards “Creative” is because when I think of E-mu I think professional equipment, but the name Creative (to me) means “toys” (in comparison, I mean). Still running just fine, but used less with the newer software stuff around. I still have an Emulator 2, 3 and even an E-Synth (lent out though) plus a number of their modules. It is of course inevitable since all things comes to that, eventually… but since they already have the product and can (one would hope) easily update it and add some marketing. I am adding my opinions to this and E-mu going down the drain is more or less an era coming to an end. PS If any of the mods read this and like it maybe you can push it upwards in the organization … before it’s too late? Or maybe that’s not the way it works at all in the real world? Maybe all those revitalized features will be more than worth it in a few years time in HALion 5 or 6? I don’t know but maybe Creative is just waiting for somebody to buy this EMU thing the cat dragged in? Having all the golden tools in one sampler inside Cubase would make the competitors green!!! What if Yamaha/Steinberg bought Emu and merged into HALionator X or whatever, call it whatever. Still … I have X3 on my XP boot and it won’t go anywhere soon. It has lots of features and sounds of course great. It’s beautiful! it’s bendable, customizable, workable. I’ve been checking the HALion 4 demo out for a few days and it’s great, even greater as an integrated sampler in the middle of Cubase. ![]() I guess Creative has no clue that they’re killing the holy grail of samplers. It probably has something to do with X3 looks and acts in many ways like a windows 98 program.Įmu have no idea what internet presence is and they’re just dying! Now it looks like the ugly duckling turning into the dying swan!!! It just hurts my brain to see all that go down in flames They have in addition to the regular 328p manual a 152p tutorial collection for all levels. Z-plane filters, Twistaloop, Twistawave, Function Generators, Routing Modulation (Yep, X3 > HAL here!), Synthswipe and the list goes on … Yeah! That’s what I call a feature request haha!Įmu have the best computer based real sampler in history. ![]()
