E-MU EMAX II
The EMAX II is a revolutionary instrument that opens up endless creative possibilities. It works as a personal orchestra for composers, a must-have tool for live musicians, and a dream come true for any recording studio.
One standout feature is its ability to digitally record real-world sounds at 16-bit, CD quality, in mono or stereo. So whether you want a piano or a barking dog, you can sample any sound and build your own unique library. Pre-sampled sounds load in from disk just as easily.
The EMAX II also includes Spectrum Synthesis, a powerful additive synthesizer, alongside a 16-note polyphonic keyboard. Each note comes with a full set of modifiers, including filters, LFOs, and VCAs, and a built-in sequencer syncs to MIDI or a 24, 48, or 96 pulses-per-quarter note clock.
