No better than his little ERRF the Emulator 1, it retains, however CHARACTERISTICS redundant as the Z80 processor, micro DMA controller but the intgre Sampling 16Bits (then it will be the S1000 or the EIII frquence to find this). The Emulator II is a feat of technology. And like E-MU's understanding of history, sync between two EMU II silent perfect.

UTILIZATION

Simple is difficult.
User manual uncertain in French, it will be the translation of the manuscript SP12 to find matches of Sampler of EII.
In the era the use of English may be less silent dmocratise today and yet the grip a silent breeze.

And the version II + HD scne on high performance, the use is a real pleasure.

OS is another time a little temperamental, but never read. Also in Sampling mode. Backups are recommended RPTES of being prog or Sample presets. Otherwise a motion. Fortunately, the plurality of FD can leave the OS on Floppy.
