The SP-1200 is the latest member of E-MU’s family of high-technology musical instruments.
It combines the most popular features of our first drum machine, the Drumulator, along
with the Emulator II’s sampling capabilities, modular design, and extensive use of display
messages.
Thanks to 12 bit sound digitizing, the drum sounds have a crispness and dynamic range
unattainable with the more common (and inexpensive) 8 bit digitizing technology. Best of
all, despite the wide range of functions the
SP-1200 is remarkably easy to learn and use. After even a short period of familiarization,
creating drum parts becomes second nature. We have made every effort to make the
SP-1200’s operation as transparent as possible, so that you can get rhythmic ideas from
your head into reality in the shortest possible time.
