I owned an EIII until about five years ago. It had a beautiful sound because of the analog filters and vcas. I admit that I sold it in a moment of pure stupidity.
I now run the somewhat snazzy EmulatorX software (which will load my old libraries), but it's not the same. By the way, EmulatorX2 and ProteusX2 will be announced at NAMM in a couple of days - over 30 new features and a paid upgrade path from the original X series.
By the way, the new Emulator X2 software will include the Transform Multiply functionality that was included in several classic E-mu samplers (The Emax and Emax II for sure). It's a DSP convolution tool that is well known for the bizarre textures it creates. They're also automating multisampling of your fave synth patches with a tool called SynthSwipe.

ReplyDeleteInteresting. Think these might deserve their own post. As for the EII, there's been some talk on AH about it being the warmest. People swear by it.
