Software Samplers / Re: E-MU Emulator X3 (2008) Requirements (windows XP/Vista)
« Last post by smoot smooth.as.silk on July 11, 2025, 02:45:15 AM »
E-mu revolutionized music sampling with their legendary Emulator series. I wanted to share this with you. But chrisNova777 has already posted a lot of stuff here.

"E-Mu Proteus VX v.2 that E-mu was giving away for free at the end. Includes manual. Can play any and all E-Mu sample sets of module ROM. Runs in Windows XP to 10 x64. Software version of Proteus 2000. Includes Composer ROM sample set. Stand-alone or plugin. Abandonware."

https://synth.market/en/articles/e_mu_last_decade_of_samplers/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mu_Emulator_X

I found and installed an E-mu Emulator X3 64-bit. I have to say that some of E-mu's sound libraries are quite special. :D And personally, they're very useful for many productions. I also like the workflow. Old-school sampler style. I didn't know this model, the VST, existed. But thanks to this website, there are many interesting articles.

E-mu's EOS 4.70 system is very stable. This is the latest version using Emulator X3 64-bit.

It also works in Cubase Pro 14 and Windows 10 as a VST. A standalone version works fine too. It's interesting that this website has a lot of legacy information. E-mu created many great modules. They eventually stopped making hardware. But that's obviously the trend since the introduction of the VST.

"high sierra" is the budget hackintosh level, it works with most Nvidia GPUs and other left over gear like the core 2 duo cpus + motherboards
perfect for repurposing for audio production hobby use, while you can get by using it to browse the net
its def on its way out in favor of newer options, but it just might give u access to the software you already own?

basically its gear from 2013-2020 mixed with software from the late 2010's + early 2020s to have one of these builds

sorry im not able to respond to them in a timely manner
it would be best to just make your comments publicly on the site here

Here's the first public message.

Since you have a great forum,  ;) I'd like to give you some free advice. I hope this is useful to you.

It's also a good idea to remove this advice from this forum, as others can see it too. There are bad people out there, after all. :( Hopefully, you have at least a backup. I hope this is helpful.

1. Complicated action:   https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=555034.msg3934593#msg3934593

My advice is to secure this website with an SSL certificate. The reason for this is that if someone logs in here as a user, a hacker can intercept it. This is because it's not encrypted. SSL makes it safe, Consequently, it could be misused. You could use https://letsencrypt.org for this. But some caution regarding implementation is advised. You need a good backup, in case something goes wrong. Or, if this website is running on a VPS, you can clone it and test it first.

Indeed, it's all very technical, but that's the way it is.

2. Simple action: Firewall, and very effective

Also, you don't have a firewall running on your forum. Very dangerous. It will save you a lot of headaches and trouble. This isn't too complicated. The database, in particular, is open on port 3306.

For your website, you only need to open ports 80 and 443 SSL. Opening port 22 is very dangerous; this is the basis of the SSH CLI system.

Ask your administrator to arrange this.
It looks like this is your provider's address:

31.142.63.50.host.secureserver.net

Currently "open" isn't a good idea unless it's necessary. 80 and 443 are required for the website. Other options aren't.

1990s / Re: Power Supplies for Old School Daws
« Last post by smoot smooth.as.silk on July 09, 2025, 03:56:47 AM »
As long as the interface matches the motherboard. Check the PCI specification of your motherboard and the card's supplier. A sound card doesn't use a lot of power. Compare this to a GPU video card, which requires an additional power supply.  :D    Is that what you mean or want to know?

Hardware Samplers & MPCs / Re: roland s- series samplers
« Last post by smoot smooth.as.silk on July 09, 2025, 03:46:10 AM »
Does anyone here still use the old 12-bit S-series samplers from Roland? Like the S-10, S-50, MKS-100, S-220, S-330, and W-30, before the 16-bit machines? I love the raw sound and workflow.

synths - 1990s / Re: 19" Roland JV-880 (1992) multi timbral synthesizer module
« Last post by smoot smooth.as.silk on July 09, 2025, 03:39:44 AM »
Its a good machine. I love the JV series. I own the JV-1080.  Personally, I prefer a hardware synth to a VST. But that's a personal choice. Especially the Roland modules, which are no longer manufactured. A dying breed. But a very solid design. They still work 30 years later. Sometimes the capacitors, power supply, or LCD need replacing. The Rack version of the JV series shows that they are very solidly made with high-quality components. You rarely find defective machines online. I think you've made a good choice. Have fun!  Let me know what you think of this JV. I also think there will be demand in the future, as others discover its power and possibilities.   

A interesting video:

1990s / Power Supplies for Old School Daws
« Last post by zzefiro on July 09, 2025, 01:15:24 AM »
I'm afraid to run vintage audio cards in my G4 or Win 98se BX builds not knowing specifically how the power supplies are operating or testing at.
I'm not so worried about my WinXP laptop audio card setups for some reason.
Any guidance towards decent power supplies or power gurus that can help me out?
Thanks.
