thx22 « the best value, quality, price 12 bit from E-mu »
Published on 12/05/12 at 15:33
Value For Money :
Excellent
See notice above
Analog filters are SSM2047 "Solid State Microtechnology"
Multiple versions co-exist (Rack and keyboard)
1 / "classic" (non-scsi)
2 / "SE" Enhanced Spectrum "synthesizer" (without scsi)
3 / "HD" hard drive "hard" (with scsi)
4 / Plus SE (unofficial versions see below)
Depending on the REV motherboard Emax, and after being in uppgradé Version
It is possible in the uppgradé scsi
A specific OS has been developed in parallel with management software "EMXP" which allows you to manage and transfer your sound banks (also fairly consistent) from your PC to your Emax and vice versa (required)
UTILIZATION
See notice above
Very simple, limited polyphony
SOUNDS
Transparent Emax? and this is not what I expect from him
Slap sound, but beware this is not CD quality
Excellent analog filters and customizable, unlike the SP12 & SP1200
Sound 12 bit color gives your old school beats
OVERALL OPINION
A way between the Emulator II & E-mu SP
The Emax is also more advanced than the latter (speed, filter, scsi, bones ...)
It offers the best value, quality, price 12 bit from E-mu
Depending on the version and status of the machine I will place his side in 300/550e
It is a value sure there's a look for one to understand ... it is very hard to find used (especially in rack version)
The less expensive alternative:
Akai S900/S950
Ensoniq EPS (13bit) as ahead of time are the most under rated as ...
