well, just a note to say I finished the mods, put it all back together and seem to have an upgraded emax (seem to - cause I have no SCSI drives I can use with...
I thought about using small packages of bytes. This is indeed more reliable but... for loading/unloading about 486000 bytes to/from the EII, the EII would...
That would be an interesting approach: monitoring the communication between the CDS3 drive and the Emax. Mmmm... where can I find a CDS3 drive :-) ? Indeed:...
Thanks for the replys.Could you explain further what "padded with zeros" means?I was going to use the "Awave" program that converts SDS to 12 bit so that...
Hi I only have programming knowledge from flash so i may just be rambling around. and dont know if the script language you are using can do 'for' loops but in...
Hello Group, So I made my first sample. Truncated it, did all the goodies, BUT when I play a different key, the "tempo" to call it accelerates as well, is...
Hi Paul, why this is the beauty of the older/original samplers of the 80's! The feature you are looking for is called "time-compression" and is offered on many...
That is encouraging news. My first attempt was not a success either. Neither was the second attempt. On the first attempt I powered it on and there were about...
This is how far I have fallen behind the gear curve. I use my Emax SE HD (when I had it) and my Emax II (which I still use) exclusively with MIDI SDS through...
owch..... burning smell is never good. it's probably time for an electronics tech for you.... One question - how did you cut the traces? And did you buzz your...
I noticed the tutorial on your site although I thought it only applied to the Emax II.Does the same proceedure apply to the Emax I? ... SE HD ... MIDI ... ...
Hi Of course I wasn't sending these 90000 or 2000 commands to the Emulator II manually :-) My program is indeed running in a loop and launching the commands ...
I used a razor to cut through the traces. There were a couple of traces very hard to get to because they are so close to other traces that do not require a...
Somewhere, and I can't remember where, I read that the CD-Rom drive took up to 5 minutes to load a bank. I wish I could remember where. So indeed it was not...
I haven't had my Emax SE HD for about 10 years, but I believe I wrote the guide knowing that it would work with both. I don;t believe the Offset is needed...
That seems excessively slow, as the EII could load a similar sized bank from the same CDROM drive in 12 seconds. Its hard to imagine Emu would not have...
I have not actually used MIDI SDS to dump samples to an Emax, I was just reading from the V3.0 MIDI specification on the Emulator archive. I believe the...
re: buzzing out - Sorry, but it sounds like it's time for a tech. - The PCB mod job really is only an hour, case open to case close, for someone who has the...
Julian- Glad to hear your mod worked. I was out of town over the weekend and just got back in. The fact that your emax shows the diags is a good sign. Also- I ...
But the 5 minutes load time may have been reality... This can explain why I don't know anyone and find no reference at all of anyone who actually used this...
You can look at both the binary of the OS and the EPROM in hex editors of course. I have done so. Some parts are recognizable, some not. But perhaps for ...
Is it a z-80 or a 6800? I didn't bother to look when I had mine open..... anyway - yes. knowing the processor, you can get a disassembler for it. And chances...
Actually it is a R6500 CPU Regards, Ted On Nov 5, 2008, at 8:48 PM, Julian wrote: Is it a z-80 or a 6800? I didn't bother to look when I had mine open..... ...
I believe the 6500 CPU in the Emax is just used for keyboard and front panel scanning. The main CPU is a NS32000 series, which is a 16/32 bit CPU similar to...
It appears so -6500 scans keyboard. Schematics confirm it. NS32000 - for those looking to perhaps disassemble ( I may take another look at this too) here is a...

Yes, I was also thinking there must be some dedicated command (set) for fast load/unload. But the fact that John remembered a load time of 5 minutes for the...
Hi, I'm locking fore spare parts to my emax. Is there some one who can tell me where to get the small copper coils springs to my keyboard. cheers/ niklas...
Hello I am a EmaxII owner and i'm trying to move my cds sample on a zip format.I've got a cdrom Apple CD150 which doesn't work (I bougth thinking it would be...
