RE: [emulatorII-list] Cloning an emulator II ..

2011-09-12 by Adrien

I understand. Yes, I\u2019m worried about the sound , the character. So it\u2019s good news for me, the emax is \u2026 90% the same , for the tone ?

After all, dépêche mode used the emax a lot, but I have no experience with this machine.

Thanks Terry !

 

Did you hear about a method perhaps, that helps to know which chip eventually break ? it didn\u2019;t happen on mine but as all I can do is to pray that nothing ever happens to my emu , I\u2019m wondering what I could do if I first don\u2019t know where is the problem , and second : how to find a part that doesn\u2019t exist anymore \u2026

 

We could perhaps create an emu II real bank ! lol , all together, so we could create a stock of newly made parts that cost some $$ ..

Why not planning to recreate the ssm 2045 for example, as it\u2019s really rare, and some others ? it didn\u2019t seem impossible to my electronic tech friend, but he said that it costs a lot. Buying in quantities will reduce the price a lot as we know.

 

Or \u2026 what will happen ? for how long will we be able to use our emu ? taking some broken ones apart to repair some others, ok \u03370; but it has some limits.

All the other stuffs are easily replaceable  \u2026 resistors, caps \u2026 transformer, transistors \u2026 circuit boards \u2026  it\u2019s a hassle but it\u2019s possible.

The Emax I is pretty awesome, character-wise.  It's 12-bit, so a tiny bit higher resolution, at least on paper, but with a much more aggressive analog filter.  The Emax II is 16 bit and has a digital filter.  It's still an awesome sampler, though, but it certainly doesn't have the smooth analog sound of the EII or Emax I.  I'd say the Emax I would be a good replacement, but it doesn't look nearly as cool as an EII.  (In a mix, you'd never be able to tell.)

That\u2019s right, 10 seconds before your email, i decided to remove it from ebay, i was stupid to sel lit, just for my need of money, there are other ways \u2026 and mine was used on some 80\u2019 hits , so that\u2019s one more reason. Or I would regret it. Now I\u2019ll have to take care of it, to make it last forever lol, but problems are difficult to debug, it\u2019s not like a fuzz circuit ! ^^

 

But I\u2019m still interested to know the character of the emax, compared to the emu II \u2026

You can't replace the EII sound.
Oh, you can with a Synclavier PSMT. You could sample and get a close version.

Thanks, in fact i have no idea ! ; )  between the emax I and II, and compared to the emulator II, I was wondering what would be the best replacement, and if any of these has the same magic when sampling with it, just like with the emulator II, in the character of the sound.

Since the emax ( 1 or 2, I don\u2019t know if they were made in the same purpose ) were supposed to emulate the emulator II \u2026 is it convincing ? or will I loose too much , by selling my emu II and get an emax ?

I\u2019m afraid of the answer lol \u2026

The Emax I and Emax II are pretty different.  Which are you referring to?

Please, as i never played an emax \u2026 could someone tell me some feedbacks on this one, compared to an EMU II ?  good ? not as good ?

If a rack version of I don\u2019t know which version of the emax will be the same as having a real emulator II, I could go for it. Is it the same magic when you sample something with an emax ?

I read that it uses an E-Chip , ( no SSM 2045 inside, right ? ) and the emax was supposed to emulate the emulator II. Is it right ? is it good ? ; )

 

Thanks,

Adrien

 

Ps, I\u2019ve listed all the chips of the emulator II, and I\u2019d be totaly crazy if I would continue this project to clone the emu II !!! lol

The best would be to be able to transform a dpx-1 into a controllable sampler but \u2026 I would be crazy too.

Several of each in the emu II as you know :
