SCSI Problems

The termination resistors in the Emulator can be turned On or Off under software control. This function is located under Miscellaneous in the Master menu. If you have an Emulator connected in the middle of a SCSI chain (which can be done using a special SCSI “Y” cable), you would want to turn SCSI termination Off. Normally, the Emulator will be at one end of the chain and will have termination On.

The more devices you have connected to SCSI and the longer your cables are, the more it becomes important to have the cables properly terminated.

SCSI Problems

In diagnosing SCSI problems the first rule is: Don't panic, experiment! If you have several SCSI devices hooked up, first check the SCSI ID numbers, then try disconnecting one of the devices and maybe change the order of the units on the line. There are quite a number of different SCSI drives on the market each with slightly different electrical characteristics. The following checklist may help you find the solution to your unique SCSI setup.

1.Make sure the drive is mounted. Mount the drives using the Mount Drive utility (Disk, Utilities).

2.Check the SCSI ID numbers. No two numbers on the bus can be the same.

3.Read the documentation again. Learn all you can about your peripheral devices. The answer to your problem may be right in front of you.

4.Play with the order in which devices are powered up. Normally the “Big Bang” method works best (turn everything on at once), but another order may work better in your unique system. Experiment!

5.Always suspect the cable when something doesn't work on the SCSI bus. Remember: The shorter the cables are, the better.

6.Simplify the situation. Disconnect one or more drives until you get the system to work.

7.Are the ends of the SCSI bus terminated?

Sample Transfers Via SMDI

O You can check the “Memory Statistics” screen when downloading samples via SMDI to keep track of how much RAM you have left.

_ When using Alchemy, you must add one to the sample number you want transferred.

_ You cannot transfer to or from sample 000

(the clipboard).

Sample Transfers Via SMDI

The Emulator can now be connected to the SCSI along with another Emulator, an ESI-32, or a personal computer. Multiple “Master” devices on the SCSI bus is not normally allowed by the standard SCSI protocol but is possible because of Emulator's advanced SCSI and SMDI (or SCSI Musical Data Interchange) implementation. Sample data can now be exchanged over the SCSI bus in a way similar to the MIDI Sample Dump Standard, except MUCH faster.

The computer should normally be positioned at one end of the chain and the Emulator at the other. The SCSI chain is properly terminated at each end by the computer and the Emulator. Devices in the middle of the chain should not have termination resistors installed.

•PC Compatibles - The Emulator has been tested with IBM PC compatible computers using the Adaptec model 1542C SCSI option card. Sound files can be transferred between a PC computer and the Emulator using Sound Forge™, Recycle™ or other sample editing software.

•Macintosh - Sound files can be transferred between a Macintosh computer and the Emulator using Recycle™, Transfer Station™, Alchemy™ or other digital sample editing software. The Emulator is able to access approved Macintosh internal CD-ROM drives with CD-ROMs containing EOS compatible files.

•The Emulator is strictly a “Slave Device” when using SMDI, meaning that it CANNOT initiate SMDI transfers. This should not normally present a problem, since a computer based editor will always have the capability to transmit and request a transfer.

Caution: A sample transferred into the Emulator will be automatically placed across the entire keyboard, overwriting the current preset's sample placement. Create a new empty preset before downloading via SMDI to avoid trashing the current preset.

Besides the raw sample data, additional information about the sample is included in a SMDI file including:

•Sample name and number (samples 1-999)

•Multichannel/Stereo/Mono status

•Sample length plus one set of loop begin/end points

•Sample rate, pitch and bit resolution

•Sample key placement (an E-mu extension to SMDI)

Using Multiple Samplers on the SCSI Bus

Using Multiple Samplers on the SCSI Bus

EOS software contains SCSI bus arbitration so that multiple “Master” devices can share the bus without a system crash. Two Emulators (EIIIX, ESI-32, e-64, E-IV, E4X, E-6400, E-Synth and any of the Ultra series) can share the same sound library, without having to duplicate the storage media.

When connecting your system with multiple Emulators, be sure to observe the following rules:

•NEVER try to write to two devices at the same time or write to one device while loading from another. Designate one unit as the Master which is the ONLY unit allowed to write. Turn Undo Off on all units except the Master. Simultaneous reads are OK.

•Keep SCSI cable lengths as short as possible (Under 12 feet total).

•Make sure that each SCSI device has its own unique ID number. (Remember that Emulators use up an ID number in addition to their internal hard disks.)

•Make sure the system is correctly terminated - The Emulators should be on the ends of the SCSI chain.
