I seem to recall that the Oberheim DPX-1 plays Emax I discs.  It was a contemporary to the Emax I, and its forte was it could play sample discs from Sequential, Emu and Akai.  

 

As for affordable Emax I's:  It appears the market for non-rompler Emus is back on the way up.  Reminds me of the late 80s when one could pick up a Jupiter-8 or Prophet-5 for really cheap; then they eventually started to go up in price.....

I don't have access to an emax 2, will they read the discs and work without going through a process for each disc, preset?

 

I have been reading things that suggest they may load the samples but then a lot of work is involved.

 

I am hoping to buy something that will read the sounds without many hours of work. Makes more sense to me to find what will work, rather than buy something randomly, then acquire all the things needed to do all the work of setting up discs on a new keyboard.

 

I have no way to test it and have been looking to buy something, but can't find out for sure if emax 2 will read the discs. I am seeing that emax 2 is compatible with various emulators, but that those emulators are NOT compatible with emax 1, which leads me to believe that emax 1 and 2 are not out of the box compatible.

 

I am still holding out hope that at some point I will find an affordable working emax 1 (se) rack.

Did you mean besides the emax2? I believe the emax 2 is the only other sampler compatible with the emax 1

Hi, all,

 

Thanks for being here. ;-)

 

I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is ANY other sampler or hardware device that will play emax 1 discs/presets as-is.

 

If not, is there any software that will play them as-is, without a lot of fiddling, reassigning notes, ranges, etc. I don't care if it would read supermodemap or not. Just play the sounds.

 

I have been searching for weeks and keep running into a dead end, seemingly emax ll sounds might be able

to work in other samplers. 

 

I have been looking for a used emax 1 rack unsuccessfully, so now looking to see if there are options.

 

Blessings,

Wanda
