The new Emulator X Desktop Sampling Systems for PC offer E-MU's breakthrough sampling technologies, powerful hardware DSP and pristine sound quality with the latest disk streaming, file management, and interface advantages of software. The Emulator X and Emulator X Studio are true professional sampling systems from the ground up, delivering unprecedented tools for automated sampling and preset creation, an integrated waveform editor, unrivaled synthesis (including over 50 patented Z-Plane morphing filters), and a mastering-grade 24-bit/192kHz audio interface with hardware-accelerated effects (with comprehensive WDM, DirectSound and ASIO 2.0 drivers for Windows 2000 and XP). E-MU's Desktop Sampling Systems provide musicians and sound designers with hands-on control over their sounds right down to the sample level with the perfect balance of usability and raw sonic potential.
Professional Sampling and Synthesis Tools
Emulator X and Emulator X Studio offer a host of professional sampling and synthesis tools, including automated sample acquisition and preset creation, an integrated waveform editor, support for all major sound formats and advanced synthesis. Emulator X makes sampling as easy as loading a preset with intelligent, automated sampling and preset creation from both external audio and batch files, allowing you to turn a .WAV file into a fully functioning preset in seconds with a single click of your mouse. Emulator X's integrated waveform editor provides you with a host of professional DSP tools (i.e. Gain Change, Time Compression/Expansion, Sample Calculation w/automatic digital tuning, etc.), for total control over your samples. In addition to its advanced sampling features, Emulator X also supports a host of major sound formats, including EOS, EIII, GigaSampler, Akai and many more. Emulator X then provides you with the most advanced synthesis engine of any software sampler to control your sounds, with 36 patchcords per voice, over 50 patented Z-Plane morphing filters, multi-wave LFO's, conditional voice modulation, clock modulation and a host of other synthesis features and parameters. You can even save your favorite synth setups as templates for quick editing.
Hardware-accelerated Effects, Mixing and Monitoring
The Emulator X and Emulator X Studio both feature E-MU's powerful E-DSP chip, an effects processor that can deliver over 16 simultaneous hardware-accelerated effects, freeing your computer from running CPU-intensive plug-ins that limit your audio performance-- a feature only offered by the most high-priced DAWs on the market. E-MU's Digital Audio Systems ship with over 500 effects presets, and the effects architecture is fully expandable, allowing you to add more effect plug-ins to your system as needed. The E-DSP chip also provides zero-latency, hardware-based mixing and monitoring via the included PatchMix DSP mixer, delivering unmatched flexibility in routing audio between all of your physical and virtual (ASIO/WDM) inputs and outputs-- no external mixer needed.
Total Analog, Digital and Sync Connectivity
In addition to hardware-accelerated effects, mixing and monitoring, E-MU's PCI card also features ADAT, S/PDIF and FireWire interfaces, as well as connectivity to a family of internal and external I/O and sync options.
