The E64 Emulator is the prototype of the Ultra series, it was he who definable basic techniques of the high end E-MU.
Extremely comprehensive it can offer everything ready that you can ask a sampler,
two SCSI connectors, 8 TRS analog outputs (expandable to 16) 2 analog input 2 TRS I / O Digital AES / EBU XLR symetric, ASCII connections to connect a keyboard, midi in / out / thru (expandable to allow two to twelve o'clock in / out) ... Large monitor, and control knob, six F-keys for naiviguer in the sub menu and a pve Digital ... (Front Identic in series 4 and Ultra)
The memory is expandable to 64 MB std 72 pin strip.
comes with a 600 MB hard disk SCSI
the original Emu E64 comes with 1 MB of Flash ROM and is upgradeable to the EOS and 3.00B, but it is possible to upgrade the 2MB flash ROM has to evolve and so on EOS 4.6
UTILIZATION
The use of EOS (E-mu Operating System) is a real pleasure, EOS and certainly the best OS in matters of sampling available to date.
(For which EOS does not know, this is the OS that handles all EMU EMULATOR sampler from the first series, to ULTRA, except the ESI32, 2000, 4000 and that these are managed by ESI )
Moreover the e64 can be completely controlled stroke keyboard which facilitate operations and makes the art of sampling bcp more user friendly. The processing capacity of the machine is incredibly fast and accurate sample of the edition is wonderful with the ability to zoom in / out on different parts of the sample (ideal to find the point of amplitude 0), the dynamic processing of sound (Eq, compression, etc..) is excellent, it is possible to import bank format ESI, EOS, AKAI, Kurzweil.
The samples are assignable presets and so on in different parts of mappable keyboard, but the interest here is that it is possible within a preset out of multiple outputs (in the USER VOICE) which is very useful for the drumkit.
A Mixer is available and can manage the assignment noon and audio output and volume settings .... oh yeah I forgot, the E64 also includes a sequencer! ideal for creating his breakbeat directly stored in the machine instead of wasting its RAM recorded loops! It can also make the time-stretch.
The use of bank and very simple, it is possible to load the bank was stolen from the bank merger, soundsprints load, or load preset dynamically in a bank without stopping for MIDI.
The sampling is declenchage either by arming the machine (with one outbreak a-60db) or with a trigger noon, the truncation of the sample is in 100th of a second.
in short, is a wonder to use!
SOUNDS
Even though the E64 is a little below a E6400 Ultra there is one thing that the e64 is greater than the ULTRA is the sound: even if one is certainly incredibly dynamic ULTRA is slightly less warm that an E64 (the new treatment ULTRA RISC processor, which tends to make the sound more digital)
The A / D converters are a good point that for maximum dynamic it is preferable to sample directly with the analog input of the sampler rather than to import audio from a computer by SCSI.
It can then moult possibility of dealing with dynamic sound: compressor, EQ, doppler, limiter, aural exciter, etc.. (A real lil rack insert!)
The E64 offers a dynamic heat is phenomenal, smapleur dear to EMU and make this range the best on the market today
OVERALL OPINION
If you wish to purchase a large EMU sampler that allows for anything your imagination can provide, but you can not afford to buy a E4XT ULTRA then the E64 is perfect for you!
But the rub is that the E64 does not grow on trees ... it's a sampler which was produced for a short period before given birth to the E6400 and the Ultra series.
If I had to make a complaint that would trigger button found in front of the ESI is not available on the E64, but we can do any time of the trigger via any MIDI sequence.
This is undoubtedly the best sampler available for the price or it is found today in okaz, far ahead akai (cold) and Yamaha (unusable pans) and Kurzweil (chers!) ...
and in addition it is compatible with all banks as possible!
