The Emax was essentially a complete replication of the Emulator II using custom E-mu chips instead of standard off the shelf silicon chips. This new engineering increased reliability, and reduced the cost of manufacture. The sample resolution was the same 12-bits companded into 8-bits of memory, the samples were still monophonic, but the maximum sample rate was increased to 42kHz. Depeche Mode switched to using Emax's from Emulator II's on tour, and the Emax SE HD's can be seen and heard in use on the 1988 USA tour video '101'. The Emax collection includes the extensive library of samples and instruments that were originally available on 3.5" disks.
