Emax

I'm just now on the list!  It's great to be in the loop here.

I'm trying to resurrect my Emax HD SE.  All of the floppies and  
Syquest backup of the drive were destroyed in a move.
My entire factory library is gone.  I had initialized the internal  
drive for a project.  So everything is gone and I'm trying to recover  
it somehow.
In my experience the Emax HD SE is just a unique instrument like the  
Fairlight CMI, you know?  You can use something else, but
I want to get my Emax back.  I feel lucky I still have it and that  
it's in perfect shape.

Emu Systems?  I thought their might be a guru still there that could  
point me in the right direction, but everybody I knew
at EMU have long since gone. No return phone calls...

I used to use Alchemy (Blank and Passport versions...).  I think I can  
recover them and keep an old PowerPC devoted just
to the Emax and Alchemy in my studio.  I still have a couple of  
Alchemy samples left from my old library, and also from
Digidesign SoftSynth programming.

I used to transfer samples back and forth via MIDI to the Emax and an  
EIII via Alchemy.

I'm now using Peak Pro, but have not yet had the time to try to hook  
it up to the Emax or see if it will even work.

Does anybody have any tips, pointers, links, or advice for me?  I see  
that there were some resources on the web
at one time and now the sites are gone or the links are broken.

Also, I'm trying to get the Emulator II library to convert for use  
with the Emax, and perhaps Drumulator samples, too.

Any correspondence would be greatly appreciated.  I have a huge amount  
of knowledge and am willing to share it,
so if you respond please ask how I can help you and I'll tell you if I  
can or if I have the resources to do so.  You might
be surprised.

I look forward to hearing from anybody regardless.  :-)

The very best to you all and happy holidays!

PS -  I would recommend using Melodyne Studio to anybody who is  
serious about sampling and working with sound.
