If sysex is not working properly in both directions, I recommend betting a non-1x1 usb interface. I have read repeatedly that 1x1 usb midi interfaces have issues handling (among other things) sysex data. If note data works both ways (e.g., record to daw and playback from daw), test sysex. If note data doesn't work, you might need to diagnose the midi interface's drivers, the computer's enumeration and recognition of the interface as hardware, etc. In not, make sure the cables are connected correctly (computer out to E-Mu in computer in to E-Mu out). If you are using a Yamaha 1x1 interface and E-loader is setup with that interface as the both the in and out port, the first diagnostic question I'd as is does it work with note data. I used an E-Mu Xmidi 2x2 usb interface, making sure both midi in and out were pointed to my interface. All I did was check to see if X-Loader would find my P2500 under "Scan for MIDI Devices." It did. And I doubt that any of that "markup" is going to the sound designers! Let's face it, it is called legacy gear for a reason-namely, it dates back so long there is no expectation that any more money can be made-except by people that horded sound ROMs and are now selling them on ebay at prices higher than any time in the past ten years or so. To the best of my knowledge the files Frankie and others have made available were obtained before the eula system, before Microsoft's DRM system, etc. In the interim, kudos to the frankster (and others) who keep the docs consistently available.Īs of today, the link that works (at least on my PC) is: īTW, the waybackmachine does have some cool historical website captures, but the last time I checked (probably 6-12 months ago), they did not capture the docs-possibly because creative went to an eula system that didn't used to exist at and which now requires a response. (If not, they should be!!!) The legacy support will probably continue to disappear and hopefully reappear. Since the so-called legacy gear is probably a low priority, it probably doesn't get put back (or put somewhere or linked somewhere) until after a lot of other stuff is done first.īut I believe creative is proud of the e-mu lineage. I believe periodically they revise their site to meet their current needs. My take is not that creative is evil or anything like that. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a new link posted somewhere and sure enough, it worked-at least for the time being. After being there for close to a year, it disappeared again. When Frankie and I decided to host docs, I believe it had disappeared two and returned two times before. Its there for a while, then it disappears, then it comes back-sometimes with a link that you can only get to if you know what it is. The legacy documentation at (or creative) comes and goes. For that, we individuals must bank and safeguard precious data, before it is lost in thoughtless acts of storage reclamation or spiteful denial. I agree, but only for those parts of the 'net not controlled by corporations.
EMU PROTEUS 2000 DOWNLOAD
I did the same with Apple's legacy download page (over 1300 files, one at a time, re-stored in their appropriate sub-directories I always suspected I might be mad, and that Herculean task might be proof of the pudding!) People say what goes on the 'net stays on the 'net. I am downloading all those available from Creative, just in case. I haven't made a line by line comparison, so you may well have all the E/E files here. Thank you, frankster, for all the work you put into collecting and providing these file links in your post. Select "non-PC hardware" hot link on Creative's support page or go straight to the E-Mu/Ensoniq downloads at where one can find all the documentation and firmware updates that were created while those companies were still viable.
EMU PROTEUS 2000 MANUALS
Some manuals available here.Ĭreative have not stopped providing access to files for legacy hardware. There is another site archiving the old emu files, the Emu Legacy Wiki, and the Proteus 2000 family yahoo group.

EMU PROTEUS 2000 UPDATE
This should be the OS update you need if you have any of the following: (Edit: More recently some of these files have become available again at so its worth having a look there as well.) Proteus Don't blame me if anything doesn't work (but please do let me know)! Let me know in the comments if there's anything that's missing.

I am making available as much of the old material as possible here. Since Creative have taken the EMU Legacy pages offline, its not longer possible to get hold of for example OS updates for various devices such as the Proteus 2000, MP7, EMU Ultra etc.
