EMAX SAMPLER 

I regret that I did not try getting one of this model back during 2000. That was when my personal synthesizer mania exploded and when a model like this could actually be had for a fistful of coins by comparison to May 2024 when I’m commenting.

Your so great !!!!!!!! I learned a lot Thank you so much.

This is so well explained. I love your passion. I hope sampling hardware like this makes a come back again. We are due.

Such great machines that belong in hands that will use them

Hey.. great.. Love to see a fellow Emu Nut using samplers as they were meant to be used.. Have you thought of buying/building a E-Muser?.. They are a fantastic interface that works with EMXP and allows fast transfer via USB to the Emax 422 port.. a real timesaver in the studio

Great video !! I love DM-albums that was made with emax/emulator . . and the album Zoolook must be my favoriteJMJ album of the 80s. . .

I appreciate you putting this out. I'm still getting all sorts of mileage from the EMAX II you sold me back in Chicago.

As an Angelspit fan and a fellow hardware geek, this was awesome to hear and see. I too have a passion for older samplers. My first sampler, I was 17 and wanting to make industrial specifically, I got an Ensoniq Mirage DSK-1 from a used instrument shop. I made entire albums on JUST the Mirage. What I loved about it, is what you love about the Emax at lower sample rates, that grit. I had grown up in chicago going to the WaxTrax! bands shows all the time, and I had seen Skinny Puppy using 2 Mirages on the Ain't It Dead Yet? VHS I had, and made me want one so bad. I sadly no longer have either of the 2 Mirages I've owned over the years, but I DO have an Emax II that I've owned for like 3 years. I haven't really touched it. I did not know that it, like the S900, can have the rates and quality adjusted on the samples. THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! I'm currently dusting off the Emax II right now to test this and see what I can get out of it. Saved me from selling it, which I've been debating the last couple weeks as prices have skyrocketed.

Epic video! Love the way you drive the old gear to create that gritty sound! Use a simple zoom h1n to go on sound excursions, if that is a proper English expressionism…? Love my Emax and x7000 🖤

Love this type of videos! 🤘

blipvert? but we're not supposed to watch blipverts, they'll make me explode!

Just very lovely!

great loop with really cool sounds 🙂

Great Video. Love my Emax II as well.

I was talking about my keyboard 🎹😫 earlier

❤

I loaded a 💾 floppy disk no problem . I heard the sounds. Trying to sample in and hear the sounds on the Emax a no go. I heard the sounds in my other sampler

Sample with out having to load sounds or midi possible? I hear sounds on my other sampler no sounds going through

✌

This is fucking incredible.

Hey, could you please make a tutorial video of the loop function on the Emax I, or better yet, of the digital processing module? I own an Emax I rack and I love it, but the digital processing module is really complicated to use, Of course I use it all the time, but there are parameters that I don't understand and you have a lot of experience with this machine

Awesome I love sampling... I have the Emu Esi 4000... I've done an entire low resolution LP with it : "Amor a mi negra lista" ... check it out! Thanks for this!!

Trying to understand this be giving me a headache 😩 Not your video but my keyboard 🎹

Love the short hair!

Shame by Depeche Mode is an epic track - far too underrated, I think.

no love for skinny puppy?? they used the emax, ensoniq and k2000
