Emax

Hi Simon
   
  The Emulator II has better quality components than the Emax and the EII does sound good, but the sampling rate is 27 Khz and it's in mono. You're right regarding the 5 1/4" discs, but you could install a 3½" disc with operating system and samples on, just like with the old 5 1/4". With a Mac connected, you have a 512 K bank loaded in the EII in about 12 seconds. With an internal HD a full bank loads in an astonising 2 to 3 seconds.
   
  The Emax is a kind of a low budget sampler, but with newer technology. The sample rate is flexible from 10 to 42 Khz and will sample in mono and playback in an internal selfgenerated stereo. The truth here is that it is 2 way mono out with panning. 
   
  But I think that the Emax sounds nicer and more crisp than the EII.
   
  The power supply in my Emax has blown once which is the only thing wrong with my Emax. No faults with my EII.
   
  Simon, why don't you keep both samplers when they are so different sounding?
   
  Best regards
   
  Brian

          Hi Everyone

I may have an opportunity to lay my hands on a very good quality Emulator II. I currently 
have an Emax 1 and if i get the emulator, i'll sell it.... but.... is it really worth it ?

Apart from the collectability factor, is there any point. The max sampling rate (i believe) is 
lower than the emax and the obvious problem of getting hold of decent 5 1/2" discs is going 
to be a pain.

Any opinions gratefully recieved.

Cheers
Simon
