Samples sound like tremolo/vibrato is constantly on

2015-03-18 by jeff norwood

Hello Emax group
 i recently purchased a drive and OS 3.2 Disk to get my EMAX SE back up and running. But now when I sample regardless of adjusting the input db volume, the sample plays back with a strange effect and I can't figure outwhy? it sound like the tremolo/vibrato is on, when heard thru the headphones or L/R outputs. has anyone else experienced a similar problem or have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

May sound silly on my part, but check the Modulation wheel position. Mod Wheel zero position is a bit weird, and I it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with mine years ago. Same problem: everything sounding like vibrato on playback

Go into diagnostics and check the mod wheel has not been set at the wrong position

You can reset it

If it persists then there is a problem ssm2300 ic as the sample and hold samples the voltages of the modwheel and pitch wheel and sends the digital information to the cpu via the abc I/0

I cannot access the diagnostics nor do I have the option it appears. I have an emax SE but my screen says software Rev 3.2. Online the latest is for the Se/HD models appears to be 1.1. This may be the issue!?

Are you sure the os says 3.2

As when upgraded to se it usually gives error saying wrong type os

All emaxes still have diagnostic routines its in the software menu master menu it allows you to check memory floppy drives read and write it allows to check the triggering of keyboard to isolate voices if there is a bad voice check wheels and if you have scsi it allows you to format scsi disks

Are you sure yours is a se and not just a hd as these had special software and did not have se so could load 3.2 os

One way yo find out if its an se is to use the se upgrade disk

If its not been upgraded it will upgrade to se if it has it will just load the os

The front of my keyboard does say SE and spectrum interpolation digital systems. In the master menu , my menu only goes to 8 and my special function only goes 1-6 but no diagnostic option? I'm guessing its because my OS is 3.2 instead of 1.1?

OS 3.2 won't have the SE functions.

That technically isn't the right OS for your machine as you functions simply won't be available in the menus.

However, it will still boot the Emax (at least mine does).

Go into Special - then #4 Recalibrate.

You can calibrate everything and / or double check the calibrations of the items from in that menu.

If you haven't gotten the manuals, I would suggest to get them.

I believe the process for calibration is covered in one of them….

I tried the recalibrate feature, but to no avail. Does anyone know where I can get the OS 1.1 for the emax se already on disk?
