I know a guy who9;s pulled the EII midi controller idea off and I have seen the unit in person. His faders do not throw midi yet but he's working on it. He also did a mini Emax 1 that was cut in half and looks pretty cool. The two main boards float above each other with small risers so they're not touching.
If you give up on it or it dies I want to buy the case. I've been dying to get an EII case and mod it with a midi controller, a great server grade PC heart and get Emu-Emulator X sampling system installed. Use the drive bays to hold a small touch screen. And get an old click heavey duty keyboard and paint it to match. Turn it into an Emulator II-Max. All in one sampling DAW that looks old school but can do it all!
I think I can get a micro-AT motherboard and components inside that body. I could also use it to run all my 809;s software synths plus the new Emulation II soft-synth, my Arturia Jupiter 8v2 etc. Have all my 80's favs in one board that looks like the classic EII!
Please keep an eye and ear open for E-II cases!!! Thanks and good luck, of course I hope you get your EII up and running well. Nothing beats an original working EII!
