WHAT IS IT?
The SP-12 is the latest member of E-mu’s family of high - technology musical
instruments. It combines the most popular features of our first drum machine, the
Drumulator, along with the Emulator II’s sampling capabilities, modular design, and
extensive use of display messages.
Thanks to 12 bit sound digitizing, the drum sounds have a crispness and dynamic
range unattainable with the more common (and inexpensive) 8 bit digitizing
technology. Best of’ all, despite the wide range of functions the SP-12 is remarkably
easy to learn and use. After even a short period of familiarization, creating drum parts
becomes second nature. We have made every effort to make the SP-12’s operation
as transparent as possible, so that you can get rhythmic ideas from your head into
reality in the shortest possible time.
You’re going to love what the SP-12 can do. Ready? Let’s start.
