RE: [emax] Re: EMAX I / II

Hi,
Loon Garden started out back in E1 days and was extended with more samples
into the EII and Emax,and called Loon Garden. The flute sound is a
Shakuhachi , it works very well in 8-bit samplers like the early CMI and
EII. But they are NOT the same sample. It was a popular early 80's sounds
from samplers and DX's....

E-mu Systems didn't resample CMI samples for their professional libraries.
They had their own dedicated sampling team, and created original samples
using UNIX compters for looping etc. They were significantly ahead of any
other sampling companies in 1982 - 88. Those were the days...

The CMI and E1 are more granular than emax or EII. EII has the better sound
of any, pre - 1987 and 16-bits

Regards
Rob


  Well, thanks very much for your precisions...
  Do you think the sound will be as much as granular in the Emax than
  in a fairlight ? or close to it ?
  What fairlight do you think  it is ? The fairlight CMI II ?

  what about the EMU II, it seems having some same sort of sounds ...

  Many thanks again.
  Patrice.
