street priceThe Emulator IV (EIV) represented at the beginning of 90s a quantum leap in sampler technology, breaking traditional boundaries with its innovative approach to digital sound manipulation. Developed by E-mu Systems and lauched in 1994, this professional-grade instrument combines cutting-edge hardware with a sophisticated, computer-like operating system stored in Flash RAM, allowing unprecedented flexibility and ease of use. Unlike previous samplers that relied on fixed ROM or vulnerable floppy disk systems, the EIV offers musicians and producers a robust, upgradeable platform with remarkable sound processing capabilities. With 128 voices of polyphony, extensive digital signal processing tools, and a user-friendly interface, the EIV is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of professional music production. Its advanced features, such as hierarchical menus, direct disk audition, and comprehensive sample editing tools, position it as a top-tier instrument for serious musicians and studio professionals.
