Emax

Hi,
The Emax II sample engine (G chip) is very different to the one in the EIII
(TTL micro-controller). Dave Rossum was able to put a much better sample
transposition algorithm into the Emax II, much to the concern of EIII owners
in 1989! The over sampling systems are different, and the Emax II uses the
Proteus sample rate of 39K rather than the EII 44.1k.Both are 16-bit stereo.
The Emax II uses digital filters (F Chip) whilst the EIII uses analog
filters. Very different samplers, the Emax II is more reliable but doesn't
have such a wide sample library as the EIII. The EIII has a certain warmth
and dimension that an Emax II doesn't have.

The EIIIX is an expanded Emax II, the sample engine is practically the same,
as are the filters.

  Anyone have a favorite?

  My EIII rack is an amazing sounding machine. And I just found an Emax
  II for around $200CDN.

  I'm thinking the Emax II is a basically the EIII on a chip (as the
  Emax I was to the Emulator II).  Any one have experience with both
  and thinks it's worth it to get the EmaxII? Any advantages over the
  EIII?

  I don't know whether I should get the EIIIxs instead (one day) as
  I've heard it sounds good too.

  Anyone knows about these older machines and can recommend?

  Thanks
