The samples are very "of the day". Immediately gets _that_ sound. Or more accurately _those_ sounds. Coming after a decade or so of analogue, these samplers must have blown people's minds. Enjoyable demo. 👍
Oh they were incredibly mind-blowing! When these synths and samplers came out, words couldn't describe how crazy it was. You could just press a button and get magical sounds, instead of having to program them manually! It was just plain awesome and futuristic. These samplers forever changed the game.
It was! Try and listen to our track here. The filter "bassline"/theme is a Juno 106 bass running through the Emax filters, the recording does it no good unfortunately. I need to overdub the video someday 🙂 th-cam.com/video/cz9VS8uyzhM/w-d-xo.html
👍I converted 1750 presets from emax factory library to adv, adg files in ableton sampler so I can enjoy these sounds without an emax. But one day I will buy one anyway 😃
Wow. That's awesome. I'd love to have that and I own a real Emax 1! Is there any ways to use that, not in Ableton? I have all the major software samplers: Halion 6, Falcon 3, Kontakt, etc, even an Emu E4xt Ultra, and the fairly new Arturia Emulator V. How were they converted and where obtained from if you don't mind? The coolest place for them would be in my E4XT hard drive!

Beautiful sounds! Instant prog rock. Are these custom sounds, or samples from the factory library? I recognize the "Liquid Stack" patch you opened with, but I haven't heard that patch at 0:56 before, it's amazing.
1 note played and instant old DM vibes! this also happened to me several years ago when I got an emax rack...I sold it because I got tired of the operative, and so it started to collect dust in a corner, but it have so much sonic character!

i have an origional BALDWIN IKE SAMPLER KEYBOARD. it i in very good contition....but it needs a new floopy drive. what is it worth? and wher can i sell it? THANKS.....😎
I’ve read that the engine of the Emax is that of the Emulator III reduced onto a single chip. Is that really the case? How many chips were in the guts of the E III?
One of these (a Fender Rhodes, Hammond S6, and some other classics i didn't know were back then) sat in our local music store (Venturi House Of Music, Madera California) for YEARS & i had no idea what it was as a kid. I'm sure it sold for pennies.
Check out Yamaha sample robot if you want to sample your vintage synths and VSTs You can then load them in synths like the MODX (1GB of user samples) or Krome (can’t remember how much space). I say this because I’ve got a MODX and think it’s a remarkable machine and the MkI can be had kinda cheap while having really great power at it’s disposal.
I think that virtually any modern keyboard ( motifs, modx, fantoms, kross,....)features a card reader or has memory dedicated to the import of samples which can then be processed through their digital filters and synthesis engine. You can even spread different sampled across the keyboard for live performance. I know they still lack analog filtering but once in the mix or live, no one really cares and they are far more reliable than vintage hardware. Keep up the good job
So two of the keyboards you mentioned are discontinued, the Motif and Fantom. The MODX doesn't sample but the Montage does. The Kross ONLY samples to the pads. What I envision is a keyboard that is just a sampler - not an expensive workstation that also happens to have a clunky sampling feature, haha. The only thing in production that comes kind of close is the Roland Juno DS, you can import a wave file, assign it to a key and it will stretch it across the keybed. The stretch algorithm is nowhere near as good as something like Kontakt but it's pretty much the cheapest keyboard that does it. With memory being so cheap now, it seems like someone like Akai or Roland could easily do something like this and there's no reason a keyboard like this should cost more than $1000. A sampler with 61 full size keys, audio inputs for sampling, a filter (digital is fine), effects, envelopes, sample editing, etc. Maybe a basic scratch pad sequencer.
@@tritonrecordings Oh sorry for my mistake ! I thought I read somewhere you had something of a sampling facility on everything... I still think the SLEDGE can be considered an alternative. I used to go on tour with an Alesis Fusion ( discontinued I think) to replace my Emax 2 turbo. the sampling was done in the studio then converted to a soundfont file the Fusion could import. You are right I wish I had something like a modern Emax, with a good time-stretching algorythm and tons of filters emulation . Memory is so cheap nowadays it shouldn't go for more than 400 bucks for a basic 61keys. There is a market for this as we are all tired of bringing 4 keyboards on stage

I imagine they out of this world back then because they still are now !

everything coming out of this sounds like Violator and I love it
Violator used mostly the Emulator III. Super close though. But this model the E Max was used for nearly ten entire Pretty Hate Machine album by NIN.
Yup. The EMAX is *THE* sound of Pretty Hate Machine.
Sounds to me more the late 80's Tangerine Dream.
This is beautiful. I have an Emax HD SE coming in the mail......
3:35 The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of time Nintendo 64.
but oh what can u do when she dressed in black
The very first sound you played was heavily used by Tangerine Dream in many albums/tracks.. So much, that it has become kind of "their own".
2:35 Is that the fabled Dragonball Z synth? Also think this is sampled for Goldeneye 64

It's called MidiBliss, 17th preset from the ZD710 disk if I remember correctly.
3:13 what patch is this?? I love it
What’s the patch at 1:13?
Jeff fatt used that synthesizer for the debut album of the wiggles for example, the song lavender's blue has a synth solo performed using this
Is there any way to get this library?

How do I get the factory sound or just sound in general for the emu max se ????? Anybody
Do you mean you want to put the factory sounds onto your EMAX?
Such a classic... still love these tones !!!
i have an origional BALDWIN IKE SAMPLER KEYBOARD. it i in very good contition....but it needs a new floopy drive. what is it worth? and wher can i sell it? THANKS.....😎
1:18 The things I do for love...
I'm gettin' me mallet!

I don't know the exact technical details but I seem to recall it's the Emulator II, not the III, that the Emax is derived from.
I seem to recall reading that it was based on the E III, @@tritonrecordings , but I could be remembering wrong.
anos 80 e anos 90 os melhores.

First. This sounds really cool
Sweet board! Bucket list item.
a bit of twilight princess at 2:15 ;)
ocarina of time [sand temple 3:45
I think my pedal is broken?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Why does it sound so lush?
what's your source of samples?
Liquid stack?
I like this sound.
This sounds SO AWESOME!!!!!

The ambiance is real 😊🎧🎶

I guess it's from 1986

Something seems off about this. Cant tell if, or am i....?
