Title: EIIIXP - REDUCED BASS RESPONSE? AND NO EXPRESSION PEDAL? ..... Post by: FOWL on October 07, 2009, 01:36:03 PM Hi There
I bought the EIIIXP from Waterfrontstudios - as seen elsewhere on this forum. Its a nice machine - I bought it to compliment my EMAX1 - which I love but obviously has seriously impaired sample memory and space (less than a meg). Sadly my machine once Kris helped me get going with a floppy boot - which was sold as 32 meg - turned out to be 8 meg. It also has no internal HD or Analogue IN : ( My major concern though is that the bass response seems noticeably reduced from the original files I am sampling - for me this is unsatisfactory for a so called top of the range digital machine (of its time). The emax sampling the same file blows it away for bass!! I conclude therefore that surely it must be something dodgy in my chain - and since there is a BEHRINGER in my sample chain - naturally my suspicion falls on him. I am using an original old Behringer ultramatch to convert the SPDIF out on my 003 rack to AES in on the EIIIXP - do you think this is impairing my signal ? I have no other way of getting samples in - until I get a few ZIP drives and use the EMXP program. Is this normal or should I try another root to feed samples in. Finally, what I love about the EMAX is all the realtime controls, yet I was sad to find that the expression pedal on my emax does not get recognised by my new EIIIXP - this seems a bit odd - since they are both EMU's - again am I doing something wrong here (it is an old and obscure JVC pedal but it works with the emax somewhat) - do others use pedals/midi controllers with their EIIIXp rack? Thanks for all your advice. Best Fowl Title: Re: EIIIXP - REDUCED BASS RESPONSE? AND NO EXPRESSION PEDAL? .....

Well, if you can, front as well... THIS IS STRANGE .... ::) Title: Re: EIIIXP - REDUCED BASS RESPONSE? AND NO EXPRESSION PEDAL? ..... Post by: FOWL on October 10, 2009, 03:15:34 AM Hi thanks
here are the pics of my EIIIXP. Hoep you can shed some light on this matter - i am also investing in ZIP drives SCSCI and USB so I can bypass the Behringer... should receive soon and will report back... but in the meantime any thoughts? Also waterfrontstudios did confirm - that there are 32 x 1mb ram in my sampler - so he is bemused that the sampler is not recognising them... but on checking MASTER/MEMORY ALLOCATION/SAMPLE: 100% 8.0M In terms of the pedal - i think it must be down to my expression pedal - im gonna try with another one. Thanks for your help, FOWL Title: Re: EIIIXP - REDUCED BASS RESPONSE? AND NO EXPRESSION PEDAL? ..... Post by: FOWL on October 10, 2009, 03:19:08 AM HERE is the front.

For the rest, I really don't know !! You can put a headphone to the output of your machine, directly, and test. But there is NO REASON this happens only by transfer from AES/EBU |
