Title: Emulator II HD upgrade kit Post by: brian_ronn on February 10, 2022, 02:11:43 AM Hi Guys
If a company would succeed making an Emulator II HD upgrade kit how many of you would buy this kit? For a company to become interested in replication of such a kit a certain amount of buyers needs to be interested/buying. Please choose what you would do.

Title: Re: Emulator II HD upgrade kit Post by: modmaker on February 17, 2022, 05:14:20 AM I voted no and the reason for that is that the only benefit, compared to a floppy-emulator I assume would be loading time. I use my Emulator in the studio where loading times are not as critical as it would be on stage.
The classical sounds are available on other platforms (I have an EIIIxp, a couple of E4s but mainly I load the classical sounds into Reason) where they sound good enough when working with tracks. When recording, I load the bank into the EII, steer it by Midi from Reason and record, in order to get the fulller sound. I do support an upgrade kit being made available as it helps keep the value an interest in Emulators up, but I would probably not need one for myself.

Hi modmaker Thats totally fair and I understand your arguments. Have a nice weekend.

I'm now the owner of a II+ that had the hard disk PC boards (both the E-mu and Adaptec and the L-bracket for the Adaptec) stolen out of it when it went to another tech to get "fixed". Even just the E-mu board would be great, I can source an Adaptec one I'm sure.
Would also be curious if y'all are going to do any more PSU boards - even the raw boards, I'd be happy to populate it myself. Got all the parts here and would really rather not do a perf-board situation. Title: Re: Emulator II HD upgrade kit Post by: brian_ronn on February 22, 2022, 12:12:46 AM I'd be in.
