Emulator ii wanted, must be in UK

[Elmbeatz]

you can call the guys and ask if they check the logigal board rev.-# for you. Also, the Eprom revisions (scanner & main) are labelled on their upsides. Shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, cheers for all your help.

After all that, it fell through. I'm almost thinking of giving up

It's funny. I feel like I know of a couple for sale in the US on the market for a while now - and that's usually where I see them pop up on ebay. Seems like the bulk of the demand is UK/Europe though. To bad they are so fragile and expensive to ship.

I'd only risk it through ebay/paypal but I'd import if the price was right.

Be aware, that you WILL have to fully service the unit after a journey like that (reseating ALL ICs etc...), as these things are REALLY fragile. (Much much more than your Emax).

I know I'll get told off for this, but I'm also looking for an Akai AX-80. That and the EII have always been my dream synths (well, a j8 too, but that ain't gonna happen, is it) so I thought I'd just tack this on to the end. I have adverts on every site going, so, just on the offchance...  Seen 2 in the US, but they won't ship.

Come on, little Emulator II! I know someone has you somewhere and wants to sell! You'd make a girl very happy!

Girl? c'mon....

Well I'm 29 so technically I'm a 'laydee'...although I'm obsessed with vintage samplers/synths, play guitar, have the most disgusting toilet humour known to man, can outdrink most men as long as it's ale, and I also co-run the largest iphone forum on the internet as head of graphics/coding themes. I'm not your typical woman. I also have purple hair and nine piercings. I get the 'woman' thing all the time on our forum, I'm used to it. No, I'm not a lesbian either!
Starting a producers course next month, I live for music.

[Elmbeatz]

cool.
I think you're the only gurl round here.

[ProudEmaxOwner]

Yeah, same as the only female admin on our site. Here I am for the doubters, just woke up, just took this so be kind because the only makeup I have on is yesterdays!!



Sat in front of the Emax to prove it's me...Now see how lonely Emax looks. All he has for company is a broken Electribe, a Les Paul, and a midi controller. He wants his big brother, because his friend JX-3P was sold to a nice bloke from Manchester...

[Elmbeatz]

proof accepted.
 

As you told your age, I thought it would be interesting to see how old we all are here. Or maybe the average age. Well, I'm 35.
But I bought my Emax when I was 16.. time flies...

Cool thread

42 here.   Had an Emulator 2 (not the plus but had a second drive) in 1988 (When I was 19) and then bought an new SP1200 and then an Emulator III in 1992 (at 23)...  Then buggered off to persue career things which only made me miserable.

I have to say how pleased I am to see someone of the soft synth generation using emu hardware and understanding what they offer over VST stuff.

Hopefully later this week I will be the proud owner of 128 voice E4X and E6400's ... Then for the MPC

This IS an antagonism.   
Just kidding.

P.S.: You've had an EII in '88 being 19 and an EIII in '92 at 23?!?!?!?!
Got rich parents or what ??
