EMAX II vs Emax I sound.

2009-07-16 by emax_dx5

On another thread it is been discused about the sample conversion with EMXP and so.

For those interested, I made a comparison between the EMAX II (I recently bought) and the Emax I sound.

First, a commercial recording individually sampled on each one, and the result:

Then, I loaded an Emax I floppy into both Emax I and II, and played the same preset on both:

Finally, the filters in action with the same sound (Emax I sample):

On the two last, the sound seems to be less punchier on the EMAX II. I think appart from the filter, it is due to the fact of the EMAX II converting the Emax I samples. I appreciate there is a lost on the sound on those cases.

Best...
