E-mu Ships EOS Link SoftwareAllows Remote Control of E4 Sampler from Mac or PC
October 18, 1999
E-MU / ENSONIQ has announced that EOS Link is now shipping.
EOS Link is a software program that allows a user to control an Emulator 4 series
sampler from a Mac or PC over SCSI. The software program comes bundled free of
charge with the E4XT
Ultra, E-Synth Ultra, and E-6400 Ultra, samplers, and is available for a nominal
charge for the new E5000 Ultra
sampler or previous models of the E4 sampler line.
Remote control of sampler possible
The EOS Link software program provides remote operation of any E4 sampler with
EOS 4.01. Using SCSI for communication, the software package displays a representation
of the front panel of the unit and allows the user to operate the unit as if they
were right in front of it. Multiple units can be controlled with, the program
(up to the number of available SCSI IDs on the bus), allowing large sampler installations
to be easily managed. The program is particularly convenient for loading sounds,
programming presets, and performing DSP operations using a computer monitor for
display, as well as facilitating better integration with large MIDI studios by
centralizing the control of the E4 samplers from a computer.
Mac or PC Operation
The program operates on both Macintosh (Version 7.0 or later) or Windows 95,
98, or NT, and requires at least 8MB of RAM, a CD-ROM drive, and a SCSI card,
to be installed in the computer. Installation is a simple drag and drop operation
and all the documentation for the program is contained on the disc.
The Emulator 4 being used with the program must have EOS version 4.01 or later
to be compatible with this program.
Available on the web
Users of older E4 samplers are able to download EOS Link from E-MU's website
as part of the EOS 4.01 upgrade software package, available in both the on-line
shopping and sampler support areas of the site.
