Emax II is 16‑voice polyphonic, regardless of whether stereo or mono voices are played.

The Emax was replaced in 1989 by the Emax II and Emax II Turbo. Although the Emax II was a true 16-bit sampler with more polyphony , it also used digital filters and components, which sounded noticeably different from the original's analogue filter chips.
