Damn right. He's an old man, and he's a temperamental old git. Will open him up next weekend.

Oh yeah- just tried my emax- no fucking power at all. I'm in a foul mood.

EDIT: fuse holder was loose. Emulator rebooted and now I have sound- panic over. Serves me right for plugging them in when I'm drunk.

LOL! Been there ;-)

Glad to hear things are started to get back on track.

I found some Emax tech docs on ebay. I am adding SCSI to my old rack units. One down so far. Hopefully, when the time is right, I will be able to nurse an EII into the new millennium.

Best of luck!

I replaced the fuseholders on both my EIIs as well as my SP-12 (with new ones - don't look the same but are good). These old ones with that red cap seem to become faulty with time..

i didn't read the whole thread...
Strange behaviour can also be caused by using MIDI and Mac together.

Nope, still waiting on the cable so It's not Mac related. Same thing keeps happening, no sound, leave it for 40 mins, all the led's come on, reboots, works. Still haven't had a chance to look inside, this course is all day and most of the evening.

You could use the same 40 minutes to open it and reconnect cables and push some ICs inside 
I have to do this procedure every three months or so, and it takes about 2 minutes 
The screws of my EII casing are "permanently" removed in order to be able to quickly open and close the beast on a regular basis.

Lol, touche. Should find some time to look at it on Sunday, will post back the results.

At least Bob the cat is having fun on the broken EII (yeah yeah, O/T, bad idea to let cat on Emulator II etc, he insisted)

[Syncla]

my cats love both, my  E III k and the E II. But the E II most, in fact of using the Floppytower as seat for looking around! Cats know what is gooood!
Searching for pics, delivering later.

He does love sitting on the disk drive...

Right, sample question. I have an unnamed EII disk, which has a load of random 80's samples on, one of which is identical to the synth sound on 'I Feel For You' by Chaka Khan. The preset is actually called Chaka. I'm trying to find the name of this sound, and a .wav/soundfont of it. Anyone know? I want to use it via Reason.
