emulatorII-list

Hi,
The EII was based on the Emulator I in terms of sampling rate, etc. Scott
and Dave took the opportunity to move up to 12-bits with the SP-12, and then
16-bits with the Emulator III in 1987. They couldn't use the EII sample
scheme as it was rather expensive to implement in a drum machine, it would
have put the price of the SP-12 up to $4000. Scott invented the touch
sensitive pads on the SP-12 and patented the design. He has recently
designed an in cockpit audio solution for light planes (which he flies over
Monterey Bay), which he intends patenting - he is still inventing ! Of
course Rossums latest design is the Audigy2.

well,thanx -  did you ever get to know why the guys at emu didn\ufffdt
make their machines compatible? i mean - someone who had the money
to afford an EII back in the days, would have most likely a
potential customer for an sp12, too...!!!

so what the heck???

cheers, simon :-)
