Emu - Off Topic
2003-04-03 by Lightfinger of SR
I just installed a floppy drive in my Emu Emax II Sampler that has been out
of commision for four years and the girl works! Say hello to 28 seconds of
mono sampling (don't be jealous)! Actually this allows me to recover some
stuff that wasn't backed up. This vintage 1990 keyboard sampler can do
something that is unique - it can take two samples and combine them into one
with a morphing function like in the movie "The Fly." Emu products are
cool... and they last!
Peace & Beats, Lightfinger
