RE: [emax] emax and iMacs

2002-07-02 by Rob EmuArc

Hi
The Emax does not support USB, it uses a serial interface called RS422. Only
old Mac software can use RS422 (Alchemy and Sound Designer) and newer Mac's
cannot run this software or even see the Emax using a USB to serial
converter. If you can find an old version of Alchemy (download a copy from
our web site) or SD II you could then get an old Mac and run the software
with a RS422 serial cable. For further details see our web site...

Or buy a software sampler that can read EIII format sample CDROM's and run
it on the iMac and load the E-mu factory library of Emax sounds (called
Volume 10)...

two units.
