Yes, they used Emulator II a lot, but just think they used Emax from MFTM age (along MFTM tour) and then switched to the Emax II for Violation tour and also Devotional (altough here shared with different machines).

This emax 1 has analog filters in the outputs, so it is hard to recreate the warmth on a computer. Even the 8 bit recording (converted to a kind of 12 on playback) make this machine sound unique.I have heard there are some soft samplers which can going close to this sound.

Just to be clear, Depeche Mode used Emu's Emulator sampler, rather than the Emax. Emax was still very nice, though. In fact, I think Queen used them. I believe 808 State did too, on their first album or two.

great!Such a shame that those emax'es were pulled out of production. What would be a good software alternative for this ?

Ahhh the days when a sampler was a sampler... The Emax fits that criteria..Now it's all software which is great...but it doesn't replace the nostalgic hardware samplers

In my opinion you don't need to jump into classical lessons to play on synth. As long as you have good sound memory you can start to fit together sounds you want a lot quicker than you can with a guitar.
