“I absolutely love this machine and will be saddened to see her go. The Emax has a BIG sound. It has a gritty sound due to it’s 12bit sampling, yet fat and lush due to it’s analog filters. This is the base model – not the HD or SE. She has many disks, they contain elements to Angelspit songs. The Power board was replaced in January 2015. She works like a charm!

I am also throwing the EMuSer interface (USB – RS422 Adapter) in for free. PLEASE NOTE: I had it built for me in 2014. I have not had a chance to test it – but the lights on the interface come on and it’s receiving.”

The Emax is a classic sampler workstation from E-mu. It is sort of a next generation Emulator II.

The Emax has an extensive library collection of samples that can be loaded via the built-in 3.5″ hard drive. Or you can sample your own sounds. The Sampler is powerful, but lo-fi. It samples at 12-bit resolution with variable sample-rates up to 42kHz. The built-in memory is 512K which only gives you a few good seconds really. Sampling and editing is easy, complete and intuitive with auto sample placement, auto-looping, truncating, reversing, velocity cross-fade, etc. The Emax also features individual channel outputs and stereo outputs and extensive MIDI implementation.

The Emax features many common analog synth-type controls for easily shaping your samples. Tune, filter and shape the envelope or use LFO’s and chorus to liven up your samples. There’s also an on-board sequencer section. A real-time only 16-track, non-quantizable sequencer for basic scratch-pad use or simple arpeggios or patterns. The Emax instruments were the most advanced of the classic keyboard samplers of the late 1980’s.
