Just joined the groups - hi all.

Hello,

I just thought I should introduce myself, having joined the list today.

I bought an Emax II yesterday - or more accurately, I swapped it for a Roland JV-1080 which had been gathering dust due to never having been used by me for anything. Personally I think  got the better deal.

I am delighted with the Emax II, it has a great sound and it's really fun to use. I am a big fan of Depeche Mode and also of vintage electronics, so obviously I jumped on the chance of owning it.

As well as sounding great, it has also replaced my previous controller keyboard at the center of my equipment:

Everything appears to be working OK except that the LCD backlight appears to be dead. I have not checked the floppy drive. It has a massive 8MB of RAM and an enormous 500mb hard disk :)

My only concern is how long this museum piece will carry on working . . 

Regards,

Daniel
