E-MU/ENSONIQ debuted a new low cost sampler at the AES show in New York that offers Ultra Emulator performance at a breakthrough price. Based on the same hardware as the market leading E6400 Ultra, E4XT Ultra, and E-Synth Ultra samplers, the E5000 Ultra provides 64 voices of sampling with 128MB RAM capacity for $1695 retail. The new sampler is identical to the E6400 Ultra with exception that it is limited to 64 voices, has four outputs instead of 8 (expandable to 12), and has a green backlit LCD display. The sampler is available worldwide the first week of October. Ultra Power is now Ultra Affordable E-MU's new sampler brings all the power of the E4 Ultra Emulator family to an aggressive new price point by leveraging the volume of the E4 Ultra line and optimizing the feature set for the market. The new sampler is fully EOS compliant, which means it can take advantage of all the performance and features offered through Emulator Operating System enhancements that have occurred regularly since the E4 line was introduced 5 years ago. This new sampler also has all of the DSP features such as linear phase filter, bit reduction processing, and the very popular Beat Munging real time groove processing software feature. Beat Munging allows the user to automatically loop a rhythmic groove and manipulate it in a variety of ways including changing tempo in real time, changing time signature, or removing or restoring beats. "The E5000 is a real breakthrough for customers who want an E4 class sampler but are on a budget" comments Scott Emmerman, VP of Sales and Marketing, Western Hemisphere. "We believe that by making the power of the E4 Ultra fine available at this exciting new price point, many more musicians will now be able to take advantage of the powerful features of the Ultra line of samplers, like Beat Munging" he concludes. Compatible with most E4 Options The E5000 is fully compatible with most of the options and upgrades available or slated for release for the Emulator 4 Ultra line. This includes the output expander option which increases the number of analog outputs to 12, the ADAT optical interface which provides 8 digital inputs and 16 outputs to the E5000, and the DWAM option which adds digital I/0, word clock, an ASCII interface, and 16 additional MIDI channels. The only option that is not supported is the polyphony expander board, effectively limiting the product to 64 voices of polyphony.
