Emulator II+HD

Emulator II+HD

2011-04-01 by Tyler Burns

Hi Guys -

I just bought an Emulator II+HD and I'm (obviously) new to the group. I love the Emulator sound and I'm committed to getting the most out of my instrument, even if it takes a lot of time and effort, which I'm sure it will.

I'd like to do my own sampling. The hard drive that comes with my Emulator II+HD is working, but I'm not sure that it's even advisable to use anymore.

I guess my question is, what peripheral gear do you guys recommend I acquire in order to make sampling and sound storage as easy (and fun) as possible?

Thanks,
Tyler Burns

Hey Tyler - welcome to the list. 

An old Mac Classic or similar running MacOS 7, a special cable to connect it to the EII and Sound Designer for Emulator II is all you need. 

This is probably the easiest solution - at least to me.

Great, thanks Kennith.
How do I get sound designer software onto one of these old computers without internet?

It's free to download in the files section here Tyler. Use Mac Disk program (also available in the files section I think) to add to a Mac formatted floppy, transfer to Mac and install on the Mac HD.
