TheArchives of the Emulator


Welcome ! The Emulator Archive web site has lots of information on vintage E-mu Systems products from 1972 - 2000.

• Drum Machines - classic drum machines
• Samplers - vintage and modern samplers
• Synthesizers - the Audity and Modular Synthesizers
• Synth Modules - classic ROMplers

Customer Support I no longer sell spares, and all work on EPROM and PAL chip replacements has been suspended. I cannot answer lots of support emails, so you may not get a response. I do try and help users of products made up until 1987 as much as possible. I have run out of OS diskettes for the samplers, except a few Emulator III OS 2.42's.

Relationship with E-mu Systems The Emulator Archive developed a close working relationship with E-mu Systems and I know many of the key people both past and present.

E-mu Systems x-President Don Scott and the Chief Scientist at Creative - Dave Rossum, have been very supportive of the project. Long standing Emuons such as Ed Rudnick and Riley Smith have helped a lot with locating and sharing invaluable archive information. I am not affiliated with E-mu Systems and I cannot communicate on behalf of E-mu. I have no knowledge of future product development plans.
