Emax

Over the years I have done quite a few DM covers, from a version of "Just Can't Get 
Enough" that combines the live version with elements of the 12" and 7" versions. To a 
version of "Behind the Wheel" that stuck to the album version, but had more dance 
oriented drum programming. The BTW cover dates back to being sequenced on my 
Commodore 64 (1988) with the drum programming done in my old RX-11. "Just Can't 
Get Enough" was done in Cakewalk 5 (1998) and is heavely reliant on my ESI-32 since I 
had to make a lot of custom samples of things like perfectly times Portamento sweeps. 
Actually my favorite cover of the hundred I've done is the 12" version of "Situation" by 
Yazoo. It's pretty much note for note and sound for sound which made pushing the ESi-
32 and Emax II filters to recreate most of those analog sounds including the reverse 
noise gates and the cool filtered arpreggio. If I have time I'll make MP3 recordings of 
them (minus vocals) and post them for everyone to here what I was able to achieve.
