As a reply to my own question. Bass mobile sells the 32 MB ram upgrade for the EIIIx. It is not cheap though:

Best regards Brian

These are no longer available on Reverb.com. 
However,  we have E3X memory upgrade kits if you want, email: "e3x_ram (@) synthesizer (dot) repair"
Cheers and happy Emulating!

Hi all,

I have an EIIIx that *may* have been an engineering testbed/prototype at E-mu.

The unit boots with "Firmware H-sp" and OS "Pre-release" on power up and "2.10 beta" when I check the software version.


If you want to sell this machine, please get in touch!

Or you can get a pair of the sliders, that are also compatible with EMAX here:

Cheaper option than Syntaur.

Found it here

https://www.macintoshrepository.org/2050-filetyper


And yahoo groups had instructions, everything works now http://www.swissdoc.de/download/yahoo.groups/emulatorII-list.zip

"1. Put all SD banks with missing resource forks into a new folder.

2. Go into FileTyper's prefs and change folder action to include all contents.

3. Drag and drop your folder from step 1 onto the FileTyper icon.

4. In FileTyper there will be two windows, one for editing the folders properties and another for the individual files within.

5. You will see it say at the top that it is about to edit multiple files.

6. Set the dialog box up the way it is pictured in the screenshot (FileTyperRepair.jpg):

Type = E2BK
Creator= XFER

Make sure it matches the screenshot (I don't know what will happen otherwise)!

7. Click "Change All".

NOTE: The above proceedure is for changing multiple files at once. FileTyper can also be used to change one file at a time."

It's available in the files section of the Yahoo EII Users site. It will rename the files to .EII files on the Mac if they aren't already set up that way. There's screen shots on the site to help you make the right correction.

Yahoo groups is long gone, wonder if this program is still available somewhere. Same problem Sound Designer for EII on Macintosh SE can't see files

Hi

Vauw, very very cool and good looking PSU. Nice work.


If I hadn't already bought replacement EII PSU's I would go for yours.

Maybe I need Emax PSU's in the future. Would you consider making those?

Best regards Brian

Hi All,

I've recently completed a plug-n-play power supply replacement for the EII.  It can be found on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266673764070

I first needed a replacement PSU for an EII back in ~2018.  At that time, Abstrakt Instruments was still selling their replacement PSU.  It worked flawlessly (although it took them 2 months to send it to me after I had paid), but they have since stopped production.  Recently, I was asked by another person who had used my Emax PSU replacement to build a drop in replacement for the EII.

The footprint, mounting holes, and connectors are identical to the original which allows for easy, trouble-free replacement.  The input and output connectors are labelled with their respective names and/or voltages, which allows for quick identification and troubleshooting in the future.  The only 'modification' required is to cut and remove the voltage selector switch wires, or coil them up and zip-tie them out of the way.

This design is intended to be very efficient, while providing ample output current.  I decided to utilize separate power supply modules for this design that are fully encapsulated.  This greatly improves safety as there are no exposed hazardous voltages.  The use of these modules and surface mount components reduces construction time and cost. 

Power Supply Specifications:

Input: 100-240VAC

Output:
+5V @ 6A
+12V @ 1.25A
+13.2V @ 1.4A
-15V @ 0.67A

Feel free to reach out with feedback or any questions.

Been absent here for a while and realise an old post but.... key to getting a good range of samples is not using the max two octave range for each sample. I use a minimum of 5 samples (more if memory allows), first at bottom G going down to lower and upper C, next one again at second G going down to C# and upper C and so on. If you run out of memory then lose a few keys at the top range, but looping and truncating after the loop will regain a bit of memory.

It's all fun and quite a challenge, but rewarding when you get a good sample range that sounds 'right'. Sound Designer will help you with those loops if need to get rid of pops and clicks, otherwise perseverance with 'autoloop' until you get the right points in the waveform.
