Dear Simon, please make an old man very happy and ask Alan if he would like to be interviewed by VG. Smash a like on this comment and the above video if you would like Alan to be interviewed by VG.

@RB-bd5tz 3 года назад

I think Vaughn said in a previous video that he has already asked Alan and been turned down, Alan saying he’s talked about DM enough.

@klax001 3 года назад

@@RB-bd5tz that's a real shame, I would even settle for Alan just discussing synths and other electronic music from the past, kind of like he did in that one RU-vid video called "Soundcheck with Alan Wilder". At least I think that was what it was called. He was played a small bit of a song and then talked about it. It was wonderful to watch. Edit: the video I mentioned is called "Alan Wilder about Depeche Mode and other things" If anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Ll Kk Thank you for the tip about Hamburg. I start listening at night then boom it is 2 am Discovered DM 2 1/2 years ago when Enjoy the Silence popped up among a bunch of political videos.

I've got a few E-MU Emax SE models they have a lot of hidden Easter eggs, from their labels, software and hidden stuff printed on the circuit boards. Love those sounds they put out with the analog filters. I didn't keep the model II I had. I do have a bunch of others from Emulator II, EIII and a bunch of E & ESI models too. The keybed is nice on the Emax Model 1 or 1000 series, and a trick if you ever need an extra key for a repair is they use the same ones as the Kawai K1 keyboard, much easier to find in a pinch.

@ChrisCebelenski 3 года назад

These machines are classics - both in the good sense and the old car sense. Every year that passes the components age, some become unobtainable, and things fail. Some older machines are kept working through the care and feeding of individuals and groups that are interested in the nostalgia. I think we should enjoy these past artifacts like you are, while they still exist, and for a magical short while there is often a time when they are both obtainable and affordable by the next generation that will care for them.

@neveser 3 года назад

Great video Vaughn (and Simon). We used one of these in the late 90's for a small project and it is a beast!. It was one of the 2 samplers we used. The other was an EPS 16+ which I still have sitting here right next to me.

@AdnamsDrinker 3 года назад

Zip disks! I remember them - I work in the print/graphic industry and what a revolution it was being able to get 100MB of data on something (roughly) the same size as a standard floppy disk 💾. A couple of years or so later, the same company released the Jaz drive, which had a monstrous 1GB capacity. Prior to Zip/Jaz, we used Syquest cartridges a lot, which were big, bulky and, in our experience at least, notoriously unreliable. Great video - fantastic to watch two people utterly geeking out about their obsession ... and those DM samples sound f-ing phenomenal through that gorgeous bit of kit!

@SockSockson 3 года назад

Yeah, I had a Roland VP9000 that used a zip drive. The disks were great - solid. I spilled a full can of coke into a box of my zip disks, had to clean them quickly. Thought I'd lost a shit load of sounds. The disks were still working 18 years later when I came to sell it.

@abrokenframe72 3 года назад

Haha! Yes I work in marketing (with a long career in publishing) and had a little moment when I saw the Zip disks as well! And the optical disks, ugh. So amazing that you can just transfer files that used to take forever to save through “the cloud” these days...

@lotus30com 3 года назад

Simon sent me an image of that Zip disk after I lost out on the original Wilder auction years ago. Thanks so much, Simon! George, make sure you go back on those banks and try every key. One of the amazing things is to see how Alan arranged all the sounds he needed across the keyboard. Some sounds are on one key only, while others are on 3 when he only needed one for the song. I kinda assumed it was in case he missed the note, he could still get a nearly correct sound to play by hitting an adjacent key.

@jps3b719 5 месяцев назад

Those sounds bring me right back to 1988. I was 16 and was at the Rose Bowl. I can still see my high school sweetheart’s tears rolling down her cheeks when they played “Stripped”. Fast forward to December, my wife and I saw DM Memento Mori in downtown Los Angeles. What an incredible performance. I wish I would’ve slowed down and enjoyed the 80’s more.

Dear Vaughn, good show again and I certainly love your 'devotional tour' around the ultra high standard band Depeche Mode. You will end up and that might just (wouldn't that be something!) be your goal, having had all the DM-boys in separate vids, interviewed by you (which you are very good at, btw) and where they, each of them, played some examples on the EMAX and in the end, all of them together!

@VaughnGeorge 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!! I should image that the Proteus 2000 has different converters but I should check with Simon!! VG :-)

@Chevytravelleruk 3 года назад

The original Proteus 1(released late '89) was based on EIII technology and was 16 bit with no filters.. The later versions(proteus 200 onward) was based on the tech developed for the EIV and added the digital filters used in the EIV and the Morpheus)

Fantastic episode, and you can hear how the sounds where meant to be played on the EMAX.

PS: aren't ZipDrives/ZipDiscs prone to failure, more then any other storage medium?

@Manmademadman 3 года назад

Despite its weird versioning, the last OS for the E-mu Emax was called 1.0. It contained all of the SCSI functionality, disk utilities, and other features that E-mu had built in. Almost any Emax can run this version and be the most advanced version, with the right hardware. Also, save yourself millions of hours of "WAITING" by putting a SCSItoSD inside it. I've done this to 8 Emax's now, and its worth it.

@EvLoutonian 2 года назад

I want to try this on my EMAX 1 "HD RETRO" version rack. (I believe the 'HD Retro' badge means it was upgraded to HD version later, not at the factory?) Anyway, can I just disconnect the internal HD, and connect SCSI2Sd to the scsi cable? (I think it's a 50 pin type). Could be adapted to DB25 scsi, I suppose, with the right adaptor cable also? I thought about dangling this out the back.

@Manmademadman 2 года назад

@@EvLoutonian I don't know about the "HD RETRO" which might just be an after factory retro-fit. The internals are all the same: there's a 50 pin connector on the motherboard, and you can connect straight to it, minding the pinout numbering-- match pin 0 with pin 0. And yes, you can also use it with the right adapter. I connected all mine directly, but you can dangle it out the back, or out the floppy space, or in place of the floppy. Once you replace it, I would guess you never need to touch it to add samples to it again.
