Setting Up the Digital Audio System

There are six basic steps to installing your E-MU system:
Remove any other sound cards you have in your computer. (Once you are sure that
1.
the E-MU card works properly, your old sound card can be reinstalled if desired.)
Install the E-MU 1010 PCI card in your computer.
2.
Install the 0202 Daughter Card or Sync Daughter Card (if applicable).
3.
Connect the MicroDock (if applicable).
4.
Install the PatchMix DSP software onto your computer.
5.
Connect audio, MIDI and synchronization cables between the E-MU system and
6.
your other gear.

Notes for Installation

• IF AT ANY TIME DURING THIS INSTALLATION YOU SEE NO RESPONSE:
Use the Alt-Tab feature to select other applications. One of them may be the
Microsoft Digital Signature warning. It is possible for this warning to appear
behind the installation screen.
• Make sure you have the latest Windows Service Packs from Microsoft
(Windows XP - SP 1 or higher).
• Disable onboard sound and uninstall all other sound cards. (If you wish to try
using multiple sound cards in your system, do so after you have confirmed that
your E-MU Digital Audio System is operating normally.)
• InstallShield "IKernel Application Error" on Windows XP: When installing this
software on Windows XP, you may be confronted with a "kernel error" at the very
end of installation. This is an issue with the InstallShield program, which is what
we use to install software on your computer. Please do not be alarmed by this, as
the error is innocuous.
