Thanks, Yes that's what I was actually supposed to be doing. I have a load of Emax Zip disks but only a few of them are 250s so I bought a zip 250 off eBay that was listed as SCSI but when it arrived I realised it wasn't hence why I asked about an adapter. Regards Dave I've literally got backups of...

it won't work the other way. OP, it would likely be cheaper to find a scsi one, or a scsi to parallel converter (the opposite of what was posted) Thanks, Yes that's what I was actually supposed to be doing.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if a ZIP250P drive can be converted to a SCSI with an adapter so that it can be used with an Emax II? I have a few ZIP250 disks with Emax banks on but the Zip drive I have is only parallel?

Many thanks
Dave

I would check out the Emax library for the INXS stuff, at least one of those Asian instruments is in there. I'm pretty sure they used a bit of Emax on that album, on the intro to 'Beautiful Girl' the piano with the duff note is definitely in my Emax library!

IMHO the only real reason to step sequence drums (which is how most drum machines work) is that you simply can't play the parts in real time using keys or pads. I.e. you have no natural rhythm

Hmm.. is that so? maybe I should sequence my guitar then too

I absolutely hate entering notes with the mouse. I usually use a keyboard to enter drum notes but after having recently bought the Arturia SparkLE I've fallen back in love with old style drum machine programming. It actually feels better to me but I guess its because that's what I grew up on. Once t...

Stephen Hague answered some questions a Pet Shop Boys forum apparently, he was asked about the bass: "Exactly how was that famous West End girls bass sound created?" "If I recall, it was a combination of an Oberheim OBX, and a kick drum sound from a drum machine over midi. It was hand played… Everyt...

Yes I saw an interview with Stephen Hague were he said he convinced a 'reluctant' Chris Lowe to play the whole bass part by hand. The reports I've seen suggest the bass on the record *wasn't* sequenced, but instead played by hand. Also, Stephen Hague suggests the bass was a combination of synths, wh...

I've not done a direct comparison but just from memory, it reminds me of the bass sound that the Thompson Twins used a lot on the albums 'Quick Step & Sidekick' and 'Into The Gap'. I think they used an Oberheim OB-Xa quite a lot on those albums. Maybe the Princess bass was layered with an Obie and D...

I would definitely replace those gaskets, they help to prevent dust and dirt getting into the slider pots. When they get old they dry out and become brittle and bits come off, which could end up getting into the sliders!

Hi, how many RAM modules are there? Could still be a dodgy one. I bought mine off eBay and the seller had added extra RAM and it was one of the extra modules he’d added that turned out to be faulty. Fortunately for me it happened to be the first one I pulled out so didn’t take long! I confirmed it b...

I had this same problem with an ESI 4000, in my case it turned out to be a dodgy ram module.

Hello!
Does anyone know what that clear coating is that Emu put over the text on the Emax 1 front panel? Mines bubbling and peeling off! Thanks

Aah could be, that could explain the changing parameters. At least that's fixable too!

Hello there! My beloved Jupiter 8 began behaving a little odd the other night. When selecting a patch from memory and then playing it, the sound changes slightly and the dots appear on the display as they do to indicate when a parameter has been altered. It does this without touching anything. I hav...
