New Emulator II owner has a few questions
2007-07-20 by mrjdevries
Hey all.. As a proud new owner of an Emulator II, (sitting next to my Emu I) I got a few questions to ask you all. 1- My Emu II is missing 2x Black keys and 4x Key springs.. Does anybody know where to get these? I noticed that the black keys are physically the same pretty much as my Korg PolySix (The Springs are identical), and hence probably the same as other similar vintage Korgs (Poly800 etc...) The Keys fit in my EmuII, and with a tiny bit of modifications, would work brilliantly... So If i can't source EII keys, I'll hunt for polysix ones instead. 2- My Emu II is a standard 2 drive model, but inside, I noticed it has a memory expansion installed.. Well, It has an extra circuit board that reads 'memory expansion'. How can I access this? I tried the pressing 00, but no luck.. Do i need a special OS to do this? 3- The filters are all working good, but need calibration at high resonance.. What trimmers do you use to calibrate the filters etc.. 4- What vintage Mac do i need to buy to be able to use the sound editing software? 5- The sequencer seems not too bad, but it's not exactly 'tight' even when quantized etc.. Is this normal? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards Mike
