Emax

Plus: you still have to invest in a zip drive that is dedicated for the Sound Designer software, as the physical medium serves like a copy protection and must be inserted during operation.

> Although not a member of this group anymore, he can still be contacted on his yahoo email account (ingsoc_1979 at yahoo dot com) and is still willing to provide the software as far as I know.
> Note that you'll have to pay for the software, so the total cost will be the cost of the Mac and the cost of the software (they're both at about the same level, USD 40-50 for each I guess).
> Remember you'll also need a modified version of the Emax OS, which is only available for SE and Plus editions. (I've put them on the EMXP website).
> Also, the SD for Emax software function which uploads and downloads banks only works with the Emax-I, not with the Emax-II.

> The RS422-USB idea has been discussed on this group and the Emulator II group a while ago. I have tried many USB-RS422 devices with only limited success. Some members are now trying to make a specific device which should work for Emu samplers. Standard USB to serial devices can not be used.
