You're right about the EIII. I have the keyboard version as well.
One of my all time favs besides the IIx. Maybe some Sequential folks
started working for E-mu then!!! The Studio 440 is the MG of the
sampler world. (No offense to MG owners..I'm fixing a friends) The
EII is my least favorite of the older E-mu's. I prefer the Emax I.
I'm still betting it's Fairlight on that Depeche track!:-)
