Emax

No problem, always for ya' ;-)

It was already mentioned that you'll not be able to update your RAM.
Hey you mention your Emax II has 1 MB, that's the earliest unit
shipped, therefore you may check if you have a Stereo-model there, as
these first units - and a amount of following 2 MB models - were
indeed Mono, i.e. they could NOT SAMPLE, only playback in stereo (but
there was a upgrade kit for sale). Go into sampling menu and see if
you have there two lines (for L + R) as VU-Meter, then it's a stereo
model, mono models have only one big line as VU, logically.
Alternatively (if I remember correctly, as I sold my Emax II) the
stereo model said something like 'calibrating' after I hit the SAMPLE
button. If so you may sell yours and look for a stereo-model with more
RAM. This just in addition.


Ah, just read that it's no more working, sorry to hear that.
