Ensoniq E-MU SP 1200 Drum Kit

Description

Sound Bankz presents the Ensoniq E-MU SP 1200 Drum Kit featuring over 390+ Wav drum samples.

E-mu SP-1200 is a sampler that was released in August 1987 by E-mu Systems.

Like the product it was meant to replace, the SP-12, the SP-1200’s intended use was as a drum machine and sequencer for dance music producers. However, its use as a phrase sampler produces a “gritty” sound due to the machine’s 26.04 kHz sampling rate, its SSM2044 filter chips and its 12-bit sampling resolution. This distinctive sound, often said to capture the “warmth” of vinyl recordings (because both formats attenuate significant amounts of bass and treble), has sustained demand for the SP-1200 more than thirty years after its discontinuation, despite the introduction of digital audio workstations and samplers/sequencers with far superior technical specifications, such as the Akai MPC. The SP-1200 is strongly associated with hip hop’s golden age. Its ability to construct the bulk of a song within one piece of portable gear, a first for the industry, reduced studio costs and increased creative control for hip-hop artists.

We have taken the samples from this Vintage Drum Machine and turned it into a cool drum kit for our music producers to use and love in their beats! Still used in modern day times with its new family line of products from E-MU racks. Get your grimy, rugged Hip-Hop beats HITTING HARD and sounding like the E-MU SP -1200 Drum Kit.
