hello...

2002-04-17 by unluckybob

Hello everyone... I have just purchased an Emax (unfortunately it 
didn't come with anything) So I have a couple of questions.
1 - Does adding a hard drive (either external or internal) increase 
any of the sample memory or is the sample memory fixed and adding the 
hard drive just becomes an ease-of-use issue.
2 - If adding the hard drive does add sample memory, then where can I 
get one.
3 - If adding the hard drive does not increase sample memory, then 
what will, and where can I get it.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Hi,
Assuming you mean an Emax and not an Emax II....
1) Adding a hard disk does not increase sample memory.
2) You can still buy Emax hard drives - the Miniscribe 8425S in the USA e.g.
CCS Drives. But you need the right motherboard and you may need new PAL
chips.
3) If you have an Emax (not an Emax II) you cannot increase sample memory.

Check www.emulatorarchive.com for more details.

Regards
Rob

Question 1 and 2) No! It doesn't affect the memory, nether decrease 
or increase.

Question 3) Yore sampler does turn in to another machine. You work 
much faster with every thing. Samplers with HD gets really close to 
be a synthesizer, minimal loading time and so on.

The easiest way to get an HD to an Emax is to get an old Mac 
computer...
