Emulator I : Photos
The Emulator Dawn The
original Emulator was developed as a complete change in direction by the analog modular synthesizer company, E-mu Systems. The initial idea came about after the E-mu team saw the first Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument (CMI) at the AES
show in 1980. Development of a cheaper competitor version to the famous Fairlight started in May 1980, and the Emulator was released into full production in January 1981.
