Emax

I remember one of the key people in development who had done all of  
this TM work
(not Transendental Meditation -- that's on the David Lynch list!) and  
this person told
me that "It really didn't work out..." and "It had a lot of problems,  
bugs in the code...".

But I have had really wonderful results on the Emax HD SE that I have  
except for
the time it takes to do the calculations and the guessing-game that it  
can become.

I used small, harmonically rich samples in tiny bits and experiments.   
And if one
combination worked then I would jump on that pair and follow that path  
to see
where it would take me.

Now I see that the new EMU PC-based version of their sampler has the  
"Transform
Multiply" as an addition to their already powerful engine.

I'm wondering if they recompiled the original code?  Or if it is the  
same code that we
all have with Emax?  And WOW! -- If I could apply a couple of GIGs of  
RAM to TM
and use multi-samples that change their harmonic content during the  
time domain,
that would be spectacular!  Very impressive if it works!  And no more  
hours of waiting
for a process to finish one would hope...?

I do not know a single person who has the PC version of the EMU  
sampler.  I think
that's rather odd.  Never hear anything about it or it being  
discussed.  Loads of
discussion about the Virus synth for example...

Anyway, I have not had TM error-out on me yet.  Run out of memory --  
yes!
"Bugs" or evidence of them?  No.

Anybody care to share their thoughts and reflections on TM? And their  
experience
past and or present?
