We are Brokering this very nice condition example of the sampler that started off the legendary series: The Emulators, from E-mu Systems from 1981 until the 1990s. This E1 comes has been modified with a brand new HxC SD floppy emulator fitted, so it has a library loaded onto an SD card that boots up with the E1, so no floppy discs are needed. The SD card modification​/​upgrade was carried out by Synthprof (Andy Jury) in the UK in 2019 (original printed receipt supplied upon sale). This is a very useful modification and enables the loading of library sounds a quick and simple process, and the system boots up from the card. This E1 also has the RS232 port fitted, so with the right software​/​hardware, you can access normally the system remotely. Our client has not owned this Emulator 1 very long, having purchased it as a fully serviced example from a UK synth dealer (not us) in August 2019, but he commissioned KSR to fully health-check the sampler in 2020. Once this is sold, we will ask KSR to fully check the E1 for us to ensure everything is 100% before sending it out to the new owner. It looks to have been well cared for and, cosmetically speaking, is in good condition with only the expected amount of wear to the painted metal cabinet, although it looks to have had some treatment at some point to the rear​/​back panel. All the controls work perfectly, and the load​/​play​/​sampling functions are 100% thanks to the SD card upgrade, so it’s good to go. This E1 is also supplied with 24 original 5&1​/​4” floppy discs, although these library files are already loaded on the SD card. There is a switch on the back so you can toggle between using the SD or original floppy drive if you wish. This Emulator 1 operates on EU220V or US110V (switchable). It’s sold with a 3-month warranty. We will include an IEC power cable.
