The chart below shows the amount of sample time available with various amounts of
memory. For stereo samples, divide the time in half.

* Sample rates shown in bold have a maximum continuous sampling time equal to that
of the 39kHz rate. Emax II performs automatic sample rate conversion on the sample,
then frees up the additional memory for subsequent sampling.
Information about the memory expansion kits is available from your local E-mu dealer.
INCREASE YOUR MEMORY
The amount of memory in your Emax II determines the bank size and thus the amount
of sample time which can reside in the unit at one time. Emax II comes standard with
either 2 or 6 Megabytes of memory, but it can be considerably expanded. Memory
expansion kits may be added to increase the bank size up to 8 Megabytes. The charts
below show how Emax II may be expanded in 2 Megabyte stages.
