Mark Morgan is confirmed to have used the E-mu Emax synthesizer during a performance with Starship, as evidenced at the 2-minute and 21-second mark of the video "Mickey Thomas Starship.1989.AH.It's Not Enough.mpg," uploaded by Pickanik on YouTube.

The Emax is awesome for gritty drum samples, but I have to admit I rarely use it out of laziness.

Neil Carter is seen using an E-mu Emax at the 7 minute and 23 second mark in the live performance with Gary Moore in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 25, 1987, as documented by the YouTube video uploaded by Ovidiu Buzdugan Romcea.

Durante todo el video puede observarse que el tecladista del medio (de camisa roja) utiliza un sintetizador E-mu Emax, que se encuentra debajo del Korg DW-8000.

In an interview with Muzikxpress on YouTube, Cosmic Baby, also known as Harald Blüchel, mentions his use of the E-mu Emax at around the 18:30 mark.

SC: What gear do you use and how do you go about creating your sound?

"Dylan Thomas: I've got a bunch of samplers. I've got an Akai S1000 and for the old album we had a bunch of Emax's. I got the Akai to upgrade my sounds, since it's better quality."

Marcus Vere, the keyboardist for Living in a Box, used the Enulator Emax as part of his music gear, as detailed in "Music Technology" magazine, August 1987:

An overdue addition to Vere's equipment is an E-mu Systems Emax.

"We never got into too much serious sampling on the album, so I bought the Emax to investigate that. I've also got the Emax with HD organised - that's coming out in about two or three months. Plus there's the Compact Disc (CD ROM) sound-loading situation coming out about three or four months after that."

Statement from John Zahner———Transcendence was an amazing album to be a part of. Even though I was never an official member of Crimson Glory I was there for the rehearsals and construction of this epic proto Prog Metal album. Midnight, Jon, and Jeff, did the lion share of writing with Dana, and Ben, and even myself all adding to the stew. Recording this album was unique as it was decided from the get go to be one of the first to be realized on a Synclavier II. This meant all events were recorded not just to tape but also digital world. Les Macar whose instrument it was had recently upgraded his system to include Winchester Drives where everything was stored. This set of drives also had a wide range of sampled sounds we could use as our orchestra. Rudimentary Drums were recorded and saved Next Dana played over the tracks adding cymbals and extra events, then Jeff added the bass which pulled all the rhythm tracks together and gave them that human element. Guitars went on next, layers of Brilliantly conceived Metal madness, but with deep foundations all supporting this monolith. Midnight sang many in one take the complex vocal arrangements augmented by Janelle Sadler and some of Tampa Bays best on backups. I along with Les, Jim, and usually Jeff helped flesh out the rest on the Synclav, EMU Emax, Yamaha DX7II, PPG Wave 2.3 and Roland D-50. After mixing and mastering we realized that bringing this album to our Crimson Glory fans would be an effort of love and require An extra vocalist, and a keyboardist, me. There is a full remaster of this CD planned, and maybe some more live DVDs of the 1989 tour. Happy Rock'n Anniversary Transcendence!

Keyboardist Tommy Eyre, known for his work with Wham!, uses an E-mu Emax as part of his extensive MIDI setup, as documented in the September 1987 issue of Musician magazine.

John Webster confirms his use of the E-mu Emax sampler, as detailed on his official biography page, where he recounts that his music collaborator Werner Freistaetter purchased their first samplers, including the EMULATOR E-Max.

"The classic machine for my money is the Linn II. I also really like the Jupiter 8 and I love the Emax because it's got the advantage of digital samples with analogue processing. You can stick a digital sound through an ADSR and filters, and that's brilliant."
