Emulator IIIx : Operating System Versions
Overview
The Emulator IIIx was released with a stripped down version of the EIII Operating System - EIIIx OS Version 1.0. However it was quickly upgraded with new DSP features, that went beyond the EIII capability (thanks to the EIIIx G Chip).
You can check your OS version number from Master/Globals Module 8, Special 6.
OS 2.10 The latest version of the Opearting System, which added very useful Akai and Emax II file imports over SCSI.
- Akai S1000/S1000 File Import -- full translation via SCSI.
- EMAX II File Import -- full transalation via SCSI.
- Time Compression -- changes length without altering pitch.
- Pitch Change -- changes pitch without altering length.
- Transform Multiplication -- multiplies two samples to create a hybrid.
- Doppler/PAN -- moves sample in 2D space with pitch correction.
- Exciter -- adds brilliance or 'cut' to a sample.
OS 2.03 This version adds some nice DSP effects.
- Sample Calculator -- calculates perfect single-cycle loops.
- Change Gain -- alters the level of all or part of a sample.
- Sample Rate Convert -- any rate from 7-50kHz.
- Digital Tuning -- retunes samples by +/-1 octave.
- Compressor -- full-function dynamic compressor.
- Parametric EQ -- Digital EQ with 12dB boost and 48dB cut.
- Reverse Section -- reverses all or part of a sample.
- Stereo-Mono -- converts Mono to Stereo and vice versa.
- Swap Sides -- swaps the sides of a stereo sample.
- DC Filter -- removes DC offset from sample.
- Flip-Flop Keys -- toggle Note On (press a key to start a sample, press again to turn it off -- useful for long sound effect ambiences).
- Polyphonic Portamento -- Glide with time up to 32 seconds/octave.
- EG Attack Slope -- selectable Envelope Attack, Linear or Logarithmic
OS 1.31 This version added support for the EIIIx Remote Control software, plus:
- Audition Sample from Hard Disk -- to listen to samples on hard disk in real time before they are loaded.
- Scrub Wheel Editing -- Use the pitch wheel to move quickly through a digital processing effect.
- Sample Memory Defragmentation --defrags the sample memory thereby making long sampling sessions quicker.
- Monitor Through Sampling -- You can listen to the main outputs as you sample.
- SCSI Problems with the Mac Quadra eliminated
- Undo mode is saved in EEPROM
- Cursors editing of samples works properly.
OS 1.12 This is an early version - possibly first customer ship.
