EPROM burning of Samples for DRUMULATOR

[lexo]

I've got a Drumulator that I'd like to change the samples on the EPROM's. Not sure what type of Burner / Programmer I should be looking into. Some are very cheap on Ebay, but I have no idea how to get the samples from say Wavelab onto the chip. I see there is a free program 'wav to dmx' to prepare samples for a DMX drum machine, but I'm unsure if that same process would work for the 8 bit E-mu Drumulator. Even then, what is the process for getting them on the Eprom. I imagine each one of these burners comes with it's own program to interact with a pc.

I've seen the person on the web who does this stuff, but I want to make sure my samples are eq'd just right, which would require a lot of $ and back and forth if I were sending it to him.

Any help or links would be most helpful.

A link: www.djdab.com, the "MODS" menu.

It seems the Drumulator needs 4 EPROMS of type 27256, which can store 256kbits = 32kbyte each. But how you're supposed to fill these, well... I suppose that's a bit of a trade secret

I think you can supply 8-bits mono samples (@ 44.1kHz ?? you have the manual I suppose!) and they may get loaded with the VCF switched off.

Ah well, contact that guy. He probably knows what he's doing and give you more details on how to sullpy samples. And he won't make beginners errors.

But from an economical viewpoint, $50 for 12 samples (total storage 128KB) of 8 bits... well... There are soft samplers that can do it for free. Maybe you can buy a sampler that reads/writes diskettes (E-mu SP-12) from e-bay for the same price.

i think EPROM burners are really expensive...
