[seamonkey]

does anyone know if any percentage of the sales are being donated to charity?

The sales are donated to charity of Alan Wilder himself
By the way, I got one of the discs for 600 pounds. Any ideas if it it isnpossible to convert it to different formats (so they can be used in various softwares)?

EMXP will convert to various EMU formats, Akai S1000 (I think) and soundfont. Not sure how good the conversion quality will be though.

The sound discs we did for Alan went for between £550-650.. madness!!..

Any reason AW didn't offer multiple copies of the EII disks like he did with the Emax II ones? Could have made a fortune with those.

Sadly we didn't have access to a working EII for more than a couple of days, so only manage to copy a few discs. Plus the discs were older and not in the greatest of shape. The Emax one's were relatively easy to compile.

I have made conversions using Chicken Systems Translator. Works very well, I now have ESX24 and NN19 format banks but can produce any format you want.. drop me a PM

Ok, already sent you a PM. Will contact you later once I receive the disc. Many thanks.

Sadly I think it's the charity of Mrs Ex-Wilder and her solicitors..

Rats.  I hate it when my most cynical assumptions prove justified.

I
Silliest item of the day was 2 pairs of jacket sleeves... no jacket, just the sleeves.. went for £100

I respectfully submit Alan's Bondage Pants as a candidate for silliest item of the auction.   And no, I'm not even going to consider answering the next question.

Thanks Chevy, I had a feeling it was something like that...very sad!
I remember when Keith Emerson went through his divorce, he was selling off all his vintage analog equipment.

Yes.. I remember that i think.. back in '93.. went to a huge warehouse to look over the things for sale.. most of it all got bought up by Martin Newcombe and Jim Davidson though sadly..

I got to play it in Manc, as well as the EmaxII. Damn, 22 years of devotion to ACW's work and my fingers were shaking like mad! Had a chat with him about power supplies and stuff, and a look through the Emax banks. Absolutely bloody amazing. Some (smaller versions) of the pics I took:






And fugly old me, had to!

Looks like you have a SCSI bus/connection to fix Jay after watching this clip featuring James Walker here:

I know James pretty well so let me know if you need anymore info from him (unless you've already collared him on it) . Good luck anyway. Hope it arrives over there safely.

There'll be members blowing that pic up to poster size and sticking it on their walls. 

An Emax II, Emulator II and Emulator III with a girl up front who's into them all !!! Beat that.

Lmao, cheers, although I looked a sodding fright because I had a MAJOR hangover that day- I was still throwing up on the train to Manc in the morning, and we got to the venue at ten! Looked like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards, and then some!
