easier still - just disable UAC, then (as long as your account is an administrator level account) apps run just like they did back on xp .

the 'benefit' of UAC is extremely debatable (since it generally only catches older malicious software, all new malicious stuff is savy to UAC now) - I turned it off day one on my win7 pc, life's too short to have to remember to right-click/run-as-administrator everything

Basicly, the default admin, wich you create due the install, is still a restricted account, not like it was on xp. If you disable uac, some security mothods will be turned off, but you will not be the "superadmin" as on xp.
If you "run as admin" the app will get full rights of the "superadmin" account (its running on a different user) , wich is hidden by default. You can active that, if you desire (cmd ; net user administrator /active:yes).
You can set "run as admin" as default for each program in the properties, if you know what you doing.
This whole thing is to prevent some people (n00bs^^) to run as full blown admin all the time, when they dont have too, specialy online.

Sry for OT , like the first part of the adam and eve demo

Wow

At last there is a VST emulator of Emu's early samplers.
I have several E-mu samplers that are just standing and more or less make my home studio to looks like a museum.
I have planned to start to make a VST emualtor on Emax on my own, and now there is an EII VST. I was thinking to make on using Synth edit. It had become a lite version of everything. Anyway, I will not have to do a bad version now that there is one.

A clip on youtub showing demo of EII:

Ilok only is a mistake. UVI, Timewarp and Relab need to wake up. At least Xils-lab offer a choice of ilok or elicenser.

Hmm, earlier in this thread somebody clearly stated the Emax and Emulator 2 had "different libraries" but now I'm not so sure; this article says the Emax is "essentially a complete replication of the Emulator 2."

It's a point worth clarifying because I already have a large EmaxII sample library for Kontakt, and if the content in this UVI plugin is based on all the same patches, that would go a long way toward convincing me I don't need/want it...

I have the Emulation II, and I lucked out in that I got the download version with an iLok already.

Frankly, I was largely disappointed. The drums are the ONLY entire group of sounds that can't be alternatively purchased through the Emu Emax collection by Digital Sound Factory. In addition, without MachFive (I use Kontakt for a sampler), the synth brings new meaning to the phrase "impossible to edit". Even my Korg TR-Rack is capable of some basic edits by itself, including being able to write new presets!

E-MU Emax is a different sampler from E-MU's Emulator II

According to Rob Keeble's emulator archive, apart from cosmetically, Emax is a replication of Emulator II except it uses E-mu proprietary chips. As far as I know EII samples will play on an Emax. Presets will be different, but factory samples are based on Emulator II.

I like the look of Emulation II and might take the plunge. I had an Emulator II+ (1 Mb) until three years ago and it is an amazing and very usable machine considering the small memory (max 512 kb per sample).

Did you see that the latest revision of the UVI Workstation, which was only released a few days ago, provides for way more editing than the previous version did? Which version are you using?

This doesn't affect scripted instrument like Emulation II.
This only applies to non macro/non scripted instruments.

Hope this clarify things.

Still in Emulation II you got some edit

You can even add as many FX and add an ARP even in the free Player.

I agree. I was kind of excited when I saw this release. I am completely new to this iLok technology so when I did some research I couldn't believe the extra trouble. I live in Japan and although I want to buy it, I won't strictly because of the iLock system. Although I am reading some solid reviews of this product, none have been that glowing to endure the iLock ordeal. You have to pay more for the iLock as well don't you? Then it has to be mailed to you? If you lose it you're done? I "completely" understand developers want to protect their code and samples but at what cost to the customer. Now is a good time for a competitor to step in and offer an alternative. Like I said, I definitely would buy this but not with iLock.

iLoks are available in Japan, cost around $50, and are required by a lot of audio software companies, not just UVI. Personally, my iLok has around 50 licenses on it and it allows me to work on 3 separate systems, it's not always my favorite thing when I'm traveling but it doesn't cause me extra trouble in any other situation.
