EMAX SAMPLER

[@kevinsturges6957]

This is so well explained. I love your passion. I hope sampling hardware like this makes a come back again. We are due.

[@angelspitmusic]

I hope so too!

[@whenvioletsturngrey9597]

Such great machines that belong in hands that will use them

[@fredbrenno]

Great video !! I love DM-albums that was made with emax/emulator . . and the album Zoolook must be my favoriteJMJ album of the 80s. . .

[@AnnexIptaru]

I appreciate you putting this out. I'm still getting all sorts of mileage from the EMAX II you sold me back in Chicago.

[@angelspitmusic]

Thank you Charlie! I'm glad she has a good home - LOVE that machine!!

As an Angelspit fan and a fellow hardware geek, this was awesome to hear and see. I too have a passion for older samplers. My first sampler, I was 17 and wanting to make industrial specifically, I got an Ensoniq Mirage DSK-1 from a used instrument shop. I made entire albums on JUST the Mirage. What I loved about it, is what you love about the Emax at lower sample rates, that grit. I had grown up in chicago going to the WaxTrax! bands shows all the time, and I had seen Skinny Puppy using 2 Mirages on the Ain't It Dead Yet? VHS I had, and made me want one so bad. I sadly no longer have either of the 2 Mirages I've owned over the years, but I DO have an Emax II that I've owned for like 3 years. I haven't really touched it. I did not know that it, like the S900, can have the rates and quality adjusted on the samples. THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! I'm currently dusting off the Emax II right now to test this and see what I can get out of it. Saved me from selling it, which I've been debating the last couple weeks as prices have skyrocketed.

[@angelspitmusic]

THANK YOU! DO NOT SELL IT!!! The EMAX II does have digital filters, but they are THE BEST digital filters i've heard...like, it sounds HUGE AND BOLD!!! Also, I will be doing streams about the EMAX - sampling, placing samples and using it with distortion pedals. I hope to do the first one TONIGHT! Sub to my channel to get the notification. RAM BIRD FOREVER!

Would you say if you cannot afford an Emax, that the Ensoniq Mirage DSK-1 is an affordable option that is close to an E-Mu?

[@Chevytravelleruk]

Hey.. great.. Love to see a fellow Emu Nut using samplers as they were meant to be used.. Have you thought of buying/building a E-Muser?.. They are a fantastic interface that works with EMXP and allows fast transfer via USB to the Emax 422 port.. a real timesaver in the studio

[@angelspitmusic]

THANK YOU! YES, I have the E-Muser...but I can't get it working. Is there a special connection I need from the Emuser to the Emax? As I am told the Emuser is configured for EmulatorII...and the Emax is slightly different.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

I regret that I did not try getting one of this model back during 2000. That was when my personal synthesizer mania exploded and when a model like this could actually be had for a fistful of coins by comparison to May 2024 when I’m commenting.

[@JKC40]

blipvert? but we're not supposed to watch blipverts, they'll make me explode!

[@anderslarsson6149]

Epic video! Love the way you drive the old gear to create that gritty sound! Use a simple zoom h1n to go on sound excursions, if that is a proper English expressionism…? Love my Emax and x7000 🖤

[@angelspitmusic]

AWESOME! THANK YOU! The EMAX is THE BEST!!!

[@peterkunz7842]

Great Video. Love my Emax II as well.

[@kelef666]

Love this type of videos! 🤘

[@angelspitmusic]

THANK YOU! More like this one coming!!

[@KTDynastie]

great loop with really cool sounds 🙂

[@ShallRemainUnknown]

Just very lovely!

[@leo-fx8go]

Your so great !!!!!!!! I learned a lot Thank you so much.

[@Metamophisis]

I loaded a 💾 floppy disk no problem . I heard the sounds. Trying to sample in and hear the sounds on the Emax a no go. I heard the sounds in my other sampler

[@angelspitmusic]

make sure you connect to both Left and Right outputs - don't use the headphones. You mentioned the keyboard? is this machine new? has it ever worked before?

[@angelspitmusic]

also, watch these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvVZZiuptmli80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvQqIZrisSpqas

[@Metamophisis]

I was talking about my keyboard 🎹😫 earlier

[@mirokontio]

Do you know any other way to convert wav. files to hfe. files? It is quite impossible to run emxp in Windows 11 ( refuse to open.exe ) and in Mac OS through Wine some errors come. I love my Emax but it would be nice to use some own samples too. I have SD card reader in my EMU so I don't have any problems to upload sounds once I got them converter to hfe format first.

[@angelspitmusic]

Thank you! hhmmm...I'm running Windows 11 and no issues. Perhaps check you security settings? other than that, there is CHICKEN TRANSLATOR. Also ask here: groups.io/g/emax (best EMAX group on the web!)

[@mirokontio]

@@angelspitmusic ok thanks I will check

[@Metamophisis]

Sample with out having to load sounds or midi possible? I hear sounds on my other sampler no sounds going through

[@mikemazzotta3263]

This is fucking incredible.

[@marsupialmicron]

Hey, could you please make a tutorial video of the loop function on the Emax I, or better yet, of the digital processing module? I own an Emax I rack and I love it, but the digital processing module is really complicated to use, Of course I use it all the time, but there are parameters that I don't understand and you have a lot of experience with this machine

[@angelspitmusic]

I will do! If you get a chance, search youtube - there are some great tutorials on this.

[@m.k.2155]

Love the short hair!

[@Metamophisis]

Trying to understand this be giving me a headache 😩 Not your video but my keyboard 🎹

[@DarylNorthrop]

Shame by Depeche Mode is an epic track - far too underrated, I think.

[@angelspitmusic]

Yup, the entire album is revolutionary - it's brilliant!

[@sektor_voltage]

Awesome I love sampling... I have the Emu Esi 4000... I've done an entire low resolution LP with it : "Amor a mi negra lista" ... check it out! Thanks for this!!

[@stephenfrancis303]

Dat aliasing

[@angelspitmusic]

I know right?? It's soo seeexxyyy!!!

[@RasMix1]

no love for skinny puppy?? they used the emax, ensoniq and k2000

[@RasMix1]

im not hating btw i enjoy your videos alot. in this age it can be hard to tell hate from an opinionated bastard like me.

[@angelspitmusic]

Thank you - you are so right!!!! I should have mentioned them!! They actually signed some of my synths! ...God i suck...!

[@RasMix1]

@@angelspitmusic signed synths!! very cool. Ive got a k2000 i love it.

[@angelspitmusic]

@@RasMix1 That machine is KILLER! did you see the video I made for it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7HXp96gtB5p7s
