"The Emax is the 'next-generation' Emulator II. It uses 12bit sample handling and an SSM 2047 based, resonant analog filter. Sounds very similar (if not the same) to a SP-1200, and of course Emulators (even includes the original factory SP-1200 drum kit samples). Has the SE synthesis engine.
Only two owners (including myself), shipped from the US. Great working condition. The action of one key is slightly off, backlight needs replacing and a small patch of laminate has worn off on the upper right hand side of the unit (all pictured below). These problems can be fixed fairly easily.
Includes SD card loaded with many of the original floppy libraries (choirs, orchestra, rock sounds, african and indian percussion, Oberheim OBx, orchestra hits, various synths, sound effects, strings etc.). The HXC upgrade allows you to load patch banks and libraries from your computer, via SD. It's possible to load converted Emulator libraries (using the free EMXP software) or ones downloaded from the net. Also comes with SD card reader.
Can install original floppy disk in place of HXC if required (comes with original floppy disk either way). It is possible to run both drives in parallel with dual ribbon cables.
Operates on 240v or 120v. The version of motherboard is compatible with the SCSI upgrade, with no soldering, trace cutting etc."
