Emax Owners Manual
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Emax is an instrument that is surprisingly easy to use, but there are literally hundreds of features packed
into its computer brain. Therefore, this manual is organized so that you can take "guided tours" of different
sections of Emax and therefore learn at your own pace.
This manual is organized into four parts:
Read the Introduction carefully. Warning: The toughest part of an E-mu manual is the introduction. The
reasoning is that you'll learn the most important stuff while you're still fresh and motivated to read the
manual. While this section is not easy reading, it contains vitally important background information and
definitions - so study it carefully.
The Guided Tours section describes several "guided tours" you can take through the manual's
Reference Section to help learn the instrument's operation. Each tour gives any necessary background
information, and then directs you to particular parts of the Reference Section where these concepts are
further developed. By taking these guided tours in the order presented, subjects are introduced logically
and build on previously introduced material.
The Reference Section is the heart of the manual. Here, each function is described in detail. Once you
become familiar with Emax, this will be the main section to which you will refer.
Advanced Applications deals with advanced processing and sampling techniques that help you get the
most out of Emax.
CAUTION: Much of the manual presents material as a series of steps. Always read to the end
of each numbered step before pushing any buttons! Sometimes a step presents
several alternatives, and tells you which one to choose at the end.
