"This auction is for the vintage music lover. For those of us like myself who hold true to the fact that plugins can never replace the beauty and nuance of original analog and digital equipment. You are looking at a vintage Emu EMAX Synthesizer and Digital Sampling Keyboard circa 1987. This keyboard is one of the most popular synthesizers of the late 80's. It got a 5 STAR rating on Vintage Synth Explorer and has been used by the likes of U2 to Depeche Mode to the Beastie Boys. This keyboard is in absolutely fantastic cosmetic condition as well as fully functional. There are no dead keys or buttons. The pitch bender, modulation and disk drive all work perfectly. As you can see in the pictures it powers on fine and loads sounds from disk. It has stereo outputs as well as 8 other outputs and an external sampler input. It has full MIDI I/O, World Clock I/O, 2 foot pedal inputs and another mod pedal input. This model is the original Emax but is upgradable to the SE version. I am including the following accessories:
- Power cord
- Original instruction manual
- SE instruction manual and upgrade stickers (for the keyboard faceplate)
- The original receipt from 1987 (tells a part of the history of this particular EMAX)
- The original Hybrid EMAX case
- A copy of the OS Rev 3.2 on floppy disk
- 4 sound disks from Northstar Productions (149 sounds total)
- I will also email a link where you can find all the original sound banks for the EMAX for downloading"

"Oberheim SEM 2pole state-variable filter clone professional built using audiophile grade components.
Some highlights on the controls:
Variable notch control
4 inputs for fading and mixing
bipolar attenuator for cut-off frequency as well as a simple attenuator of frequency
Resonance control
Built with the following component "upgrades":
Original spec'd FETs (2N4302)
Conductive plastic pots
silver mica filter cap
Elna Silmic II caps
Screened cable on outputs and twisted pairs on inputs to reduce on noise.
3.5mm Lih-sheng jacks
Mint...This was racked once for testing and calibration. Listing as used due to this being built in by a professional and not manufactured in a larger scale facility. Power cable is included with sale. Requires +/-12V power supply (Euro power headers)"
According to modulargrid: "Oberheim blessed SEM Voltage Controlled Filter pcb by Jeff Farr. Panel design by Clarke Robinson (clarke68)."
Side note: I created new Clarke Robinson, Jeff Farr, SynthCube & David Ingebretsen channel labels. David does not appear to be involved in this design, however I found him looking up Clarke Robinson in previous posts and decided to create a channel for him. David Ingebretsen is the man behind the new Steiner Synthasystem. He worked with Nyle Steiner on recreating the modules for the new system.
