? Damn. The zealots are getting serious! Next thing you know they'll start burning heretics at the stake.

That's not accurate. And has been discussed extensively already.

I kinda figured as much but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I doubt anyone on the internet is going to have my customized banks....

Good stuff there!

Wow, are you late to the party!

No.

This has already been discussed extensively.

I spend most of my time with Labs making music, not staring at the installer. I don't really care what the app thinks. They are on my computer and they make noise anyway. Its kind of a known bug in the Spitfire app that doesn't affect whether the libraries work or not.

Looks like that is worth trying.

I'm with you on this. I got my old Korg X3, a Minilogue and more VSTis than I will ever use. Along with a bunch of guitars, two basses, a bouzouki and a drum kit. I'm working on making the most of what I have and weeding out what I never use.

I'm confused. Is this new math or fuzzy math?

This discussion wandered off into E-mu Proteus X software. You know. Thread drift. Someone mentioned it being uploaded on archive.org. I pointed out that it is still someone's intellectual property and that those sounds are readily available from legitimate sources.

Live your truth. No judgments. Live your truth. ? Says the man who hasn't once actually tried to help someone... Tell me something, were you born this much of an ***** or did you have to practice?

Awesome you got it working. I was going to suggest next that if any of these keyboard controllers have traditional 5 pin DIN connectors to try hooking them up that way through a MIDI interface.

This E-mu discussion is academic anyway because it won't even work properly on modern versions of Windows anyway. I found out because I had a copy from when it was still available from Creative Labs. Those sounds are readily available from legitimate sources anyway. So why bother with a pirated version that someone uploaded to archive.org. "Not available from Creative any more. Creative have eliminated everything Ensoniq and E-Mu from their site except for a couple of pair of their earphones branded E-Mu. I have placed the Proteus VX and the Emulator X3 in Archive.org as abandonware." https://www.kvraudio.com/product/proteus-vx-by-e-mu If that ain't pirated software, I don't know what is. Again, just because something is abandonware doesn't make it public domain.

Yeah. I'm a cute little troll. Over half my posts are Mac fanboy proselytizing and I've never once responded to someone's request for help with Cakewalk. Oh, wait.... https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/profile/7891-hugh-mann/content/ No, I don't own a Mac and I'm not going to either. I despise the way they do business. I'm not such a great fan of Microsoft either, just to be fair, but they don't have a reputation for breaking software. Yeah, yeah "Rosetta" and all. Whatever. PCs don't need something like that.... You don't see developers making such a big deal about now being compatible with the latest Windows update or Intel core i9. I wonder why that is. Google I also don't like very much either, but at least they don't throttle my phone when I update Android.

Sampling your E-mu stuff and releasing it is entirely different than distributing pirated copies of their software.

The Mac fanboys are trying to move the goalposts now.

Yeah. You tell 'em. Screw what the Bakers say. What do they know anyway?

I don't think so. "Digital Sound Factory has an exclusive license with E-mu to re-master the primary source libraries to function on modern computer formats." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Sound_Factory Now I could be wrong, but I believe that this Proteus x were talking about is just all the old Proteus modules put into software.

That's good to know and thanks for clarifying. I didn't mean to imply that you were advocating theft. However, a lot of people don't understand that just because a company goes out of business doesn't mean that their intellectual property is free for the taking. I wanted to make others aware of that and that the stuff is readily available from a legitimate source.

What's "it?"

Any minute now the Mac Fanboys will show up and want to argue with a man who's building and shipping out windows machines to professionals. Mac. Its not just a computer, its a religion.

I would rather not encourage the theft of intellectual property. Digital Sound Factory owns the rights to all that old E-mu and Ensoniq stuff. And the prices are quite reasonable.
