"this is a pretty big deal for Emulator II/Emax/Emax II owners and might be of interest to your other readers. In short, you can now transfer samples to and from these old samplers using a modern PC, as opposed to a vintage Mac. The software, drivers, schematics, etc. are all free."

Subject: [emulatorII-list] New version of EMXP with RS422 support
Reply-To: emulatorII-list yahoogroups.com
The RS422 support has been released in the newest version of EMXP today.
You can download this version (for free of course) on http://www.emxp.net
As announced a while ago, this version allows serial communication between EMXP on Windows XP (or higher) and the Emax-I or Emulator II.
Sound banks can now be uploaded and downloaded without having to use a vintage Mac computer anymore...
...you will need a custom built USB-RS422 adapter though :)
Details how to build this adapter yourself can be found on http://www.emxp.net also. The thing is called EMUCOMBOX - OK, I admit this name is the result of a weak moment of low creativity.
Anyway, I'd like to give credits to and thank MrJulian (fellow member on the Yahoo Emax Group) a lot for making this possible by sending me a jumpstart prototype last year. A new world went open for Emu Emax/EII fans.
Note: in the future a smaller and easier-to-build version of the adapter may be released, based on another microprocessor board.
The current one is working fine, but be aware that some of the soldering will be quite tricky !
Have fun
