Hi,

Well, I mean if there any soft sampler can read the Emu's format such as Emu sound central.

The libraries you showed were EmulatorX format.

So far, AFAIK, there isn't any softsampler "out of the box" that imports these files, but you'd have to use a third-party convertor, such as Translator www.chickensys.com or EXC to convert the files.

But there may be an additional problem. Some of those libraries (I believe) have the samples encrypted and cna't be converted at all.

Doesn't Kontakt 2 do it? Emu is on the list AFAIK.

If you are asking this because you don't want to buy the Emulator X2, you can get the Proteus X2 instead, it's a lot cheaper and is probably your best bet.

Also Samplelord does, http://samplelord.com/
I own both the Emulator X2 and Samplelord, and Samplelord can play all the Emu X2 factory content. Of course you then lose all the specific features of the Emu X2 (like filters, modulations, FX, etc.) but the samples are mapped correctly.

Note that I do not own any of these additional libraries so I do not know if they use encrypted samples. Maybe someone else knows this.

They meant Emu in the Emax/E3/E4 sense. Not EmulatorX, maybe they should be more clear.

Well, since the OPs link is all EmulatorX format libraries, I suspect that they, like myself are looking for something other than that POS EmulatorX Windows95 interface in order to find something half useable to recoop their investment.

I bought into the EmulatorX hoping to get rid of my P2000/XL-1 Hardware modules, but the software is such badly written garbage I'd rather hassle with the hardware at this point.

I've considered going the Proteus Pack for Dimension Pro route. Can anyone comment on the quality of this as far as recreation? Does it capture the sound/performances of the hardware racks?

Any Software Sampler can read Emu ?
