E-MU PIPEline Wireless Transmitter and Receiver System.

The E-MU PIPEline wireless transmitter and receiver system frees you from the tyranny of audio cables without sacrificing audio quality. E-MU PIPEline works as a wireless transceiver for your guitar or keyboard, or as the basis of a wireless in-ear monitoring system for your band. Because latency is so critical in music performance, PIPEline has a minimal delay of only 5.5ms, so it won't interfere with the feel of your music.With E-MU PIPEline connected to your musical instrument, you'll be able to move freely in a 15 meter range from the receiver. If your other band mates want to join the wireless revolution, they can, because PIPEline has 3 independent stereo channels. Each instrument stays completely independent with zero crosstalk. Have you always wanted an in-ear monitoring system, but couldn't justify the high price? E-MU PIPEline is the perfect solution for low-cost in-ear monitoring. Because PIPEline has 3 channels, you can have 3 separate stereo monitor mixes, or 1 transmitter can send a group mix to multiple receivers. PIPEline's Audio quality is superb with no-compression and a 48kHz sample rate (better than CD). Encryption key handshaking between transmitter and receiver eliminates the possibility of picking up other wireless sources. Because E-MU PIPEline works with any audio device, you can wirelessly connect any of your other audio gear. For example, use PIPEline to connect your iPod or MP3 player—or computer—to your stereo system, or put remote speakers in another room of your house without the hassle of routing speaker wires!. ...details

E-MU Old World Instruments World Sound Library ¹.

The E-Mu Old World Instruments World Sound Library delivers two CD-ROMs packed with traditional plucked string, wind, and percussion instruments from around the globe to be used with E-mu's Emulator X and Proteus X. These instruments were expertly sampled with their natural decay whenever possible, and each bank provides you with both the pure, unprocessed presets, as well as effected versions—all optimized to E-MU's synthesis engine. As an added bonus, there is a special "Best Of" bank of sounds from the Proteus 3 World module, a true classic in the industry and heard on countless hits over the years. Unique and exotic, the sound samples in the E-Mu Old World Library will add a special spice to any composition.Sampled Instrument Descriptions Ashiko Traditional African single head, cone-shaped hand drum, capable of producing high and low tones.Baglama Sample The Bouzouki and Baglama (baby bouzouki) are fretted, double-strung lutes that evolved from the Turkish Saz. They are made of wood have long necks with teardrop shaped bodies. The Bouzouki and Baglama have eight strings (four courses x 2), with the two highest sets tuned in unison and the lower sets tuned in octaves. In more modern times, these instruments became very popular during the 1930's as one of the primary voices in Greek popular music.Balafon Sample Traditional African twelve note marimba with pentatonic tuning. Each note has one or two gourd resonators suspended below for increased tone and amplification.Bansuris Sample Bamboo transverse flute common in North Indian Classical music. This bank features four bansuris, bass, tenor, alto, and soprano.Bell Rattle Sample Small jingle bells inside a woven sphere of hemp fiber.Bon Di Sample Low-pitched Chinese bamboo transverse flute with buzzing paper resonator glued over the sound hole.Brazilian Drums & Percussion Sample This kit is comprised of traditional Brazilian street percussion instruments including Surdo, Bombo, Tamborim, Snare Drums, Ganza, Crashers, Agogo, Triangle, Cuica, Whistles, Recoreco and others, key-mapped to correspond with the General MIDI drum kit convention.Celtic Harp Samples The Celtic Harp is a diatonic folk harp. It is similar in shape to (but considerably smaller than) the Orchestral Concert harp, with "sharping levers" and no tuning pedals. The Celtic Harp is cousin to other varieties of folk harps that evolved in other parts of Europe. It has long been a featured instrument in all types of Celtic music.Contra-Bass Balalaika SamplesCumbus Saz Samples The Saz is a long neck lute, predecessor of the Bouzouki, which is the most popular plucked string instrument in Turkey. In the early 1900's, a Turkish instrument maker (Zeynel Abidin Cumbus—last name pronounced "joom-bush") began redesigning traditional instruments, replacing the wood body with metal and skin, like a banjo. The result was instruments with much greater projection and a lingering reverberant. ...details

E-Mu's sound designers sampled a comprehensive array of Mellotron sounds, including choir, strings, woodwinds and brass, as well as combinations of these sounds for this E-Mu Vintage X Pro sound library. For the analog and digital synths, every individual pitch, oscillator and signature sound was sampled to capture the unique sound of each instrument and optimized for Emulator X's powerful streaming engine.Using MIDI controllers with this sound library is easy, as the front panel knob functions are standardized for most of the factory presets. Match the MIDI controller numbers corresponding to the knobs on your MIDI keyboard to the real-time controller assignments in the Preferences menu to control these important functions.Featured in the E-Mu Vintage X Pro Volume 2: Synthesizers sample collection: Elka Rhapsody (1975) String Ensemble The Elka was one of the first string synthesizers and was used extensively by the likes of Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, and other European synth masters. Technically, string synthesizers are electric organs coupled with a nice chorus unit to fatten the sound. An optical expression pedal was used on the Rhapsody to swell the sound in and out. There are two sliders for volume and sustain (release), and two buttons for cello and strings. E-mu Modular System (1973) Modular analog synthesizer The E-mu modular system was popular with universities and high profile studios that could afford these high-quality, state-of-the-art synthesizers. Even by today's standards, E-mu modulars have incredible specifications—wide dynamic range, low distortion, and low noise. E-mu developed a digitally scanned keyboard and the first polyphonic synthesizer keyboard/sequencer using a microprocessor. E-mu modular synthesizers were built to order. Roland Juno 60 (1983) Polyphonic, digital/analog hybrid synthesizer The Juno 60 is a 6-voice, programmable analog synthesizer with chorus. It has a simple voice and modulation architecture, but the great-sounding Roland VCF imparts a unique character. This synth produces nice basslines and the built-in chorus unit is perfect for producing string sounds. Mellotron Mark II (1963) Tape-based sampling instrument The Mellotron was an innovative tape-based keyboard instrument which became a trademark sound of '70s progressive rock bands. Under each key is an 8 second length of magnetic tape which is moved past a playback head whenever the key is pressed. When the key is released, the tape is pulled back to its starting position by a spring. Since each sound is produced by a linear piece of tape rather than an endless loop, the Mellotron can reproduce the characteristic attack phase of an instrument such as a violin.. ...details

Match the MIDI controller numbers corresponding to the knobs on your MIDI keyboard to the real-time controller assignments in the Preferences menu to control these important functions.Featured in the E-MU Vintage X Pro Volume 3:Keyboard sound collection: Hammond B3 Organ Samples (1955) Electro-Mechanical Organ The Hammond Organ was designed and built by ex-watchmaker Laurens Hammond in 1935. The Hammond B3 generates sounds using a tone generator consisting of an AC synchronous motor driving a set of 91 tone wheels, each of which rotates adjacent to a magnet and coil assembly. The number of bumps on each wheel determines the pitch produced by a particular tone wheel.The Hammond B3 uses a unique drawbar system of additive timbre synthesis and stable tuning. A note on the organ consists of the fundamental and a number of harmonics, or multiples of that frequency. In the B3, the fundamental and up to eight harmonics are available, controlled by the drawbars which are labeled to represent pipe organ pitches.The 2-speed, Leslie rotating speaker was a large part of the Hammond B3's signature sound. Counter-rotating sound deflectors (one for the woofer and one for the tweeter) create a wonderful doppler vibrato effect, especially when the speed is changing.The Hammond B3 was popular with churches and home organists, as well as rock and soul groups. Rhodes Electric Piano Samples (1965) Electric Piano A piano teacher, Harold Rhodes initially created a tuning fork piano, the Xylette, during WWII as a portable instrument to help rehabilitate wounded airmen. He continued to refine and develop his idea producing the Pre-Piano and the Piano Bass. In 1965 the Rhodes Electric Piano was born.The innovative Rhodes piano immediately become a standard instrument in the jazz, pop, rock, and R&B genres. The sound of the Rhodes is instantly recognizable and it remains a widely used instrument even to this day. Harold Rhodes continued to evolve and improve his piano in association with Fender until 1983 when production was discontinued. Hohner Clavinet Samples (1971-1985) Electric Clavichord The Clavinet, designed by Ernst Zacharias to replicate the sound of a Clavichord, was a huge success for Hohner. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, the Commodores, Bi. ...details
