Description Marque: E-MU Model: Emax II Turbo 8MB Pays de fabrication: États Unis Home Studio: Sampleur Numéro de pièce fabricant: Non applicable Type: Home-studio, MAO Epoque: 1989
There is a Stereo Chorus effect on each patches that can be switched on and off, as well as a sequencer.OVERALL, THE EMAX II is a very impressive instrument. The sound quality is excellent, and sampling and programming are very easy. The four stereo output pairs make the Emax II convenient for a wide variety of applications - from on-stage use to use in an audio-visual studio. And, considering the 16 stereo voices and dynamic low-pass filters, these features are not likely to go wasted.Digital Filtering - The Emax II was a major step forward in implementing a digital filter (the H chip) that sound as good as analog. This was a first in the sampling market place, and E-mu Systems have remained at the leading edge of digital filter technology until the arrival of software based analog synthesis from Waldorf/Access and others in the late 1990’s. Real time digital filters were introduced to increase reliability and to provide a wider range of sounds to the musician. The filters on the Emax II are 24dB low pass resonnant filters. There is a small sequencer as well.E-mu Systems chose to build their new custom chips (also seen in the Proteus module range) with a sample rate of 39 kHz, rather than the CD and industry standard of 44.1kHz. Whilst the Emax II can replay at 44.1kHz, it can not record at this standard rate. SE Synthesis - It's also an advanced synthesizer as it can do SE additive synthesis, with formants and various waveforms allowing you to sculpt soundscapes and design your own sounds.Used by: Depeche Mode, U2, Orbital, Cabaret Voltaire, Astral Projection, Skinny Puppy, Meat Beat Manifesto, Nine Inch Nails, Mouse on Mars, Alphaville, Beastie Boys, Clock DVA, Die Krupps, Faith No More, Richard H Kirk, KMFDM, Steve Roach, Richard Barbieri, Wolfgang Gartner.SPECIFICATIONSPolyphony - 32 voices (32 channels configured as 16 stereo voices or 16 mono voices w/ stereo chorus in the Emax II)Sampler - Emax II: 16-bit * 16 voices, multi-timbral - Stereo Sampling Max. 39kHz sample rate - SE Additive SynthesisMemory - Emax II Turbo Keyboard : 8MB (expandable to 8MB)Arpeg/Seq - 16-track sequencer; arpeggiatorKeyboard - 61 notes (with velocity and poly pressure messages)Date Produced - Emax II: 1989Up to 14 days return / replacement exchange.- PAYMENT THRU PAYPAL & ANY MAJOR CREDIT CARDS (AMEX, VISA, MASTERCARD)- WORLDWIDE SHIPPING WITH TRACKING- FAST SHIPPING- RETURNS ACCEPTED (BUYER PAYS FOR RETURN SHIPPING COST)
