Emax

Hi all,
just purchased one EmaxII turbo rack with 4MB of ram.
Can you tell me where I can find the original library files
for it?

Many thanks

Greetings from Italy

Roberto

Interesting question.
We all know the link for the original EMAX-I banks
(see: http://www.hermannseib.com/english/synths/emax/default.htm)

But were there also any original banks specific to EMAX-II ?
I don't know... The answer could be "no" because of the memory range 
of EMAX-II going from 1 MB to 8 MB, depending on the model...

Anyone ?

Hello E-Synthesist,
I've found one good site with 1MB or 2MB
Emax-II files (see: www.dragonslair.ca), but
now I'm curious to find some others bigger
library files, if they exist, because I have a
4MB Emax-II.

Many thanks for your reply

Ciao
Roberto

Oh yes that's right, I read about that one somewhere in the archives. 
That site was down for a long time.
Just visited it again. Most of the EMAX-II images seem the same as 
the EMAX-I images. I'm wondering whether the images were EMAX-II 
originals that have been compressed to EMAX-I afterwards, or would it 
have been the other way around :-) ?   (Dave ?)

Anyway I'm going to download the EMAX-II images from that site, as 
some of the EMAX-I images are kind of corrupt (my EMAX-II crashes on 
them). 

Thanks !

The EmaxII files are similer to the EmaxI files, but for the EmaxII,
EMU resampled them at 16 bits.
You can save the 1mb samples on the EmaxII in a compressed format,
that can be read by the EmaxI. According to the manual,these disks are
supposed to sound better than the original EmaxI disks. I have posted
some of the compressed files on the website, and a few people have
downloaded them, and said they work fine. I plan on doing all of them,
but my studio is dismantled at this time for some modifications,and
since the flying season is pretty much over for the year (I fly model
airplanes and helicopers)I'll be starting on the mods soon, once it is
back together, I'll get the rest of them done.

Wow, thanks for putting effort in this and making available the 
libraries to the community !

About the "crash of my EMAX": most of the EMAX-I files are perfect 
indeed ! In fact I'm using quite a lot of them every day :-)
 
It's just a few of them I have trouble with (e.g. ZD750, ZD789, ...): 
my EMAX-II can load them perfectly, I can even choose some presets 
and play them, but some other presets have "strange names" and the 
display shows weird characters both in the first and the second 
display line. When I want to play those presets or try to change some 
parameters of them, EMAX-II sometimes hangs after a few seconds.
I encountered these problems while I was programming the emaxlib 
software and wanted to use all ZD-images for testing purposes.

I will check if I have the same problem when I compress them with my 
own EMAX-II. I'll let you know !

That’s because Yahoo! Groups disguises people’s email addresses.

The owner of the box is:  andre  AT lindenlove DOT  de

If you email him, he can send you an invite to join the archive and you will find factory HD images for use with EMXP there.

I have found a couple of spots on the internet. One points to a Russian social network and the other to facebook. I am not a member of either, unfortunately (and have no desire in opening an account).

People on this list have mentioned a folder on Box.com <http://box.com/> but searching the archives of list reveals nothing.

It's curious that it seems to be so difficult to track down these library disks and I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
