Emax

Hi, I have an emulator III rack with O.S. 2.42.  I use it a lot with 
an Sp1200; dumping sampled signals to the EIII for processing and 
back to the SP for playback. 

I have a pretty good selection of destructive editing tools on the 
EIII (especially for a 93 OS!).  I have a huge 256 tap lowpass/hipass 
phaselinear filter, all other IIR filter forms, compression, digital 
eq, etc...

My question is why Emu removed some of these filters from the EIIIx 
and ESI models.  They seem to keep the EQ and compression-- but 
that's pretty much all that remains.. any reason for this?  Or do 
they have these features in some OS update that doesn't get mentioned 
in the manuals?

Anyone know about this?
