Emulator III :Adverts & Reviews

The Emulator Three.
A matter of art and intelligence.
 

Making music is a matter of art.

Designing tools for musicians that deliver optimal sound, set new standards of technology, and offer extraordinary value is a matter of intelligence.

We designed the Emulator Three Digital Sound Production System to achieve the highest sound quality technologically attainable. Absolutely no compromises were made in preserving the full clarity of a 16 bit data format. Through techniques and features like oversampling digital filters, distortion free pitch shifting, stereo sampling and an array of advanced digital and analog processing functions, the Emulator Three offers sound quality and capabilities far in excess of systems costing ten times its price.

The Emulator Three also includes a sequencer, which, in itself, a notable achievement of intelligent design. The sequence is both MIDI and SMPTE based for composition or film and video applications. You get the power and flexibility of a computer-based sequencer (including cut/copy/paste editing), whole retaining the speed and convenience of an integrated sequencer. It also incorporates sophisticated new auto correct features to "humanize" your sequences and its intuitive interface invites creative interaction.

At the heart of an expandable modular production system, the Emulator Three is designed to serve virtually every professional application. Through its high speed SCSI data interface, your Emulator Three system may be custom configured with options such as voice and memory expander (for 32 channels and 16 megabytes of RAM), external hard drive (including E-mu's own rack mountable 300 megabyte drive). CD-ROM libraries, 800 megabyte WORM optical cartridges for user sound storage, and powerful Macintosh based software including Sound Designer, Q-Sheet A/V, SoftSynth and Alchemy.

Of course, the final test of intelligent design is affordability, and in this regard the Emulator Three is indeed a work of art. From the basic instrument to the full blown system, the Emulator Three gives you an extraordinary creative power at a real-world price.

See your E-mu Systems Professional Dealer for a demonstration of intelligent design.

The Emulator Three. because it's your art that matters.
