E-MU Emulator X SP1200 Kit Demo

[pmastaflast]

sounds like you could do some badass reese processing with this

[WhyBeF]

What do all those filter sweeps have to do with hiphop?

[epromenator]

Emulator X is nothing to do with classic EMU gear. and this is suppose to be sp 1200 kit?? no way....

[Ogizzie]

Eh. It's day and night to me. If you have a great soundcard and Reason you can bang out some great sounding beats. Hardware isn't my thing.

[heyawhaw]

Sorry ... I was obviously talking out of my ass when stating: "If you are more into making beats and recording vocal tracks and stuff over loops it's pointless." THAT'S WRONG! Emulator has this great TwistaLoop feature you've gotta check out.

check this out, it's a two part tutorial for anybody interested in looping stuff in Emulator X and some stuff that would take a few weeks of tweeking. but here it's don in minutes

Nothing can duplicate the SP 1200 sound, once you've funked with one you will want one!

[crabber338]

EmulatorX is the best sampler I've ever used hands-down. I've owned Akai, Yamaha, EMU hardware samplers... But with EmuX I can make dirty beats or track a symphony. The filters are also tight!

MPC has a lot of fame, but it's a sampler and a sequencer. It's pretty limited to the EmuX so the comparison isn't there. MPCs are the way to go if you want an all-in-one. If Emu came out with a hardware version of this.... Wow!

[Mehdo35]

@crabber338 they did E4 sampler

[WhyBeF]

@crabber338 Actually, the last EMu hardware sampler is a hardware version of the Emulator X. Even the bank files are compatible. Emu X has added features since then, but the E4 Ultra with RFX32 installed is actually the hardware version of the Emulator X. I have both, and the sound is indistinguishable (EmuX is going thru a 1212m).

[heyawhaw]

It's great ... if ... what you do is building your own instruments sample by sample. If you are more into making beats and recording vocal tracks and stuff over loops it's pointless. But for building weird instruments it's ... I can't say enough good things about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have a E-mu Xboard 61 with 16 knobs you can connect to the 16 knobs on your screen above ... or use for similar stuff in cubase or whatever.

Lot's of functions ... but that's the point! : )

[Mehdo35]

@heyawhaw ok Emulator x 3 has 64 midi channels with a MPC 1000 you can have 64 loops going at one time or 500 16 loops at one time cubase 16 loops at one time

[09KNU]

only 2 vids of this software here on youtube...emu belong to the 90's like sony and yamaha....nothing last forever...going to pick up motu BPM tomorow and link it to my MV 8800.Tracktion 3 ultimate is on his way.

[Mehdo35]

@09KNU get the emulator x 3

[stathisam]

the only way for hiphop is mpc!!!!

[digitaljosh]

I've never owned an Akai MPC, but I've still produced some very great tracks.

I might get one someday.

[joidi2]

Only true way of hiphop is what sounds good, despite of what you use.

[JayPirat]

never what about the sp? the 808 cmon....

[migones]

can i download this somewhere?

[heyawhaw]

Download?

You can buy it and pay the developers so they can make X4 some day ... you know?

[Jazzybreaks]

now this is a just a VST and not a standalone drum machine/sampler software right???

meaning it needs a external Sequencer?? (let it be a software or hardware)

right?

[digitaljosh]

Yes, it does need an external software or hardware sequencer. The E-MU Emulator X is a soundcard and software sampler combo. I prefer using Acid Pro and tons of samples myself. I don't like the E-MU Emulator X, and don't use it. It was always buggy to me.

[vjrei]

I just bough an Emax II sampler, better than softwares.

[digitaljosh]

I'm now using a Yamaha MOTIF ES6 and Sony's Acid Pro for all my sampling needs.

[BXMammal]

Acid pro's good for chopping samples and time strectching but its sequencer sucks when recording your own drum patterns. I dont use drumloops. FL studio is a way better DAW and sequencer for hip hop.

[illstateofmind]

even a buggy OS'd drum machine is a million times more stable than software.

[digitaljosh]

I hear you.

[mineheadX1]

not if you're on a Mac...but I do like hardware also...

[illstateofmind]

I use a mac too and trust me. OS X can crash too.

[scrap1005]

not true. Don't forget a drum machine runs software that's simply had the bugs inroned out. In 09, with emulator x3 under windows 7 it's more stable than some of the drum machines I've had lock up on me. And yes, I've had to pull the power plug on some drum machines before. We just tend to forget those things... But x3 is stable.

[madebymarco]

cool
