Hi Brian, I have tried the transform multiplication, which is basically the convolution of two samples. It is very time consuming and tends to be rather hit and miss. I have found that it is much faster to load wav samples into a mathematics program such as Matlab and do the convolution on the computer. There does not seem to be anything much of a sonic difference between doing this on a PC or on the 16 bit Emax II. I noticed that I need to renormalise the sample after the convolution on the PC but the Emu seems to take care of this itself. The Emax SE may sound a bit different due to the 8 bit compression but I do not have one to try it. /Tristan On Thu, Mar 29th, 2018 at 6:04 AM, Brian Mulvey <xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx> wrote: > Ever mess around with the Transform Multiply thing?
