emusonacid!

if so, what is it, a hardware or software upgrade? or perhaps both? just curious.

thanks

Nope, different hardware (faster cpu for one) that isn't available as an upgrade. Careful purchase and sale could see you with an equivalent ultra and even a little profit as many people are less aware about their hardware than you. For instance I got my Ultra at a knockdown price as it was in the sequencer section on ebay. Although technically correct it wasn't the best way to market the sale.

thanks for that. was lookin at one for sale that is claimed to be a convert from regular e4xt to e4xt ultra. glad i asked.

good job on that buy/sell.

seems a lot of good deals come n go on ebay. just gotta be patient.

Great deals to be had for sure.
I just picked up a mint condition E4XT about a month ago.

well, don't discount it so quickly...

Emu did have an "Ultracize" offer right before the E4 Platinums came out, it was really expensive (between $995 and $1395 after a rebate). It was basically a complete hardware/software upgrade and the cost depended on what you started out with and what options you had.

I guess it'd be obvious once you got a hold of it and booted it up whether it's really been upgraded to an ultra...

ah. that makes sense then. suppose it was legit afterall. sold for more than i wanna pay tho. guess ill keep on lookin around

thx guys

ultracise just brings the OS up to current, right? a few of the features for the ultra's are not available.

no, it was a complete hardware/software upgrade, motherboard swap, 128 voice, CD library, etc.. basically brought your sampler up to E4XT status, that's why it was so expensive
