E-Mu E4XT Ultra Brochure
E-MU SYSTEMS introduced the first Emulator in 1981, setting
the standard for digital samplers and forever changing the world
of electronic music. Since then, E-MU has given users new and
innovative technologies with each successive Emulator generation in our quest to produce the world’s finest samplers. Now
E-MU proudly introduces the new Emulator 4 Ultra: a professional sampling instrument with unrivaled speed, versatility and
sonic fidelity that allows you to realize any sound imaginable.
The success of the Emulator line over the last 18 years has
resulted from the close ties between engineers at E-MU and you,
our customer.
We recognize our users as the primary driving force in the
Emulator’s evolution, and the feedback and experiences you’ve
shared with us has resulted in useful and intuitive features based
on your real-world needs. When you acquire an Emulator, you
are investing in a professional instrument that will be supported
and developed into the future with sounds, software upgrades
and hardware options. It’s no wonder that Emulators are found in
countless studios around the world and serve as the standard
against which all other samplers are compared.

Ultra Hardware
The E4 Ultra features a
completely new hardware architecture that provides you with a host of benefits. The E4
Ultra’s new 32-bit RISC processor gives you ultra-fast MIDI response time, SCSI, DSP
operations and sampling, making your time more productive. All E4 Ultra samplers are
upgradeable to 128 voices of polyphony (standard on E4XT Ultra), allowing you to layer
and sequence complex sounds without fear of losing any notes, freeing you to concentrate on the creative process and not on the limitations of your sampler. You can install
up to 128 MB of RAM (E4XT Ultra ships with 64 MB standard, the E6400 and E-Synth
Ultras ship with 16 MB standard), offering you tremendous flexibility in manipulating
huge banks of quality sounds. The E4 Ultra also accommodates Flash ROM, allowing
you to create and edit custom soundsets that are instantly accessible. With its combination of polyphony, memory capacity, and blazing processor speed, the E4 Ultra will deliver your most intense layered sounds and sequences with dead-on timing and pristine
fidelity.
The E4 Ultra
ships with the new EOS (Emulator Operating System) version 4.0 operating system,
which offers faster and more intuitive loop point placement, enhancements to the
sequencer, and many other breakthrough features. EOS has constantly evolved through
the years, providing you with an unparalleled software upgrade path full of new features
that you can easily load into the E4 Ultra’s operating system memory via floppy disk.
Inspired engineering has been combined with user feedback to create new EOS features
like Beat-Munging, providing you with solutions to real-world problems and keeping
your Emulator state-of-the-art.
Beat-Munging is a new real-time DSP tool that analyzes your drum loops and phrases,
automatically determines the tempo, and then perfectly loops the sample for ultimate
groove preservation. Beat-Munging also allows you to change your loop’s time signature
(i.e. from 4/4 to 7/8), tempo, swing factor and individually manipulate beats within your
loop, all in real time. Beat-Munging gives you unprecedented rhythmic control over your
audio and may radically change the way you create and manipulate loops and grooves—
and you will only find this breakthrough technology in the E4 Ultra.
The E4 Ultra also provides you with a large palette of DSP tools like stereo phase-locked
time compression, pitch change, Doppler shift panning functions, sample reverse, transform multiply, digital re-sampling, and an Aphex Aural Exciter® algorithm to add clarity
and brilliance to your sounds. Together with a dual 24-bit stereo-effects processor with
over 40 algorithms, the E4 Ultra provides the tools that allow you to transform your original, raw waveforms into new, complex timbres that will serve as the building blocks for
creating inspired presets. From sound effects and film scores to the latest dance
grooves, the E4 Ultra will always deliver your sound accurately, placing the creative
power of sound manipulation where it belongs— in your hands.
