E-MU Systems
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the E-MU Vintage Pro. Vintage Pro
offers you all of the legendary keyboard sounds of the '60's, '70's and '80's in
one rack space. From tonewheel organs and suitcase keyboards to analog
and FM synthesizers, Vintage Pro gives you the most authentic and
comprehensive collection of classic keyboard sounds ever assembled.
Product Description
The power of Vintage Pro begins with 128 voice polyphony. This means
that 128 different instrument lines can be played at once! With all these
voices, 16 MIDI channels didn’t seem to be quite enough, so we added
another MIDI input jack to allow 32 MIDI channel operation and the
ability to access 128MB of sound memory on user upgradable SIMMs.
There are a lot of great old instruments contained in this box. We sincerely
hope you enjoy rediscovering them and making them a part of your music.
Vintage Pro contains four user-upgradable sound SIMM sockets, allowing
you to mix and match sound sets according to your needs. New sounds can
be added as easily as plugging in a new 16MB or 32MB SIMM module and
up to 128MB of sounds can be added! Each sound set has been meticulously
crafted to be the best of its kind. Samples are matched across the keyboard,
perfectly looped, and rich in harmonic texture.
Vintage Pro contains 512 user presets and can hold literally thousands of
factory presets. (ROM presets are automatically added when sound SIMMs are
installed. As an example, a 32 MB SIMM may contain up to 1024 ROM presets.)
Vintage Pro’s Sound Navigator is a major improvement to the main screen
that makes it easy to find the exact sound you want from the thousands
available. It’s powerful, yet simple to use.
Vintage Pro contains E-MU’s exclusive SuperBEATS Mode—a whole new
way to create dynamic, original music. With SuperBEATS, you trigger, latch
and unlatch synced loops and grooves from your keyboard. Simply select a
“bts:” preset and you’re ready to groove! Then use Vintage Pro’s performance controls to alter and mutate the rhythm or the sound itself.
Vintage Pro Owners Manual 1
Introduction
Product Description

Then there’s Vintage Pro’s Rhythmic Pattern Generator/Arpeggiator, which
can play up to 16 synchronized arpeggiator patterns at once using a
different sound for each! Patterns can be edited using pattern flow
commands such as: delay for 2 bars, play for 4 bars, hold for 2 beats and
repeat. You can program or download 100 user patterns in addition to the
300 factory patterns.
Of course the real power of Vintage Pro becomes apparent when you begin
to synthesize your own sounds. The extremely flexible yet easy to use,
4-layer synthesizer voices make it easy to build sounds of any kind. Layers
can be switched or crossfaded using key position, velocity, real-time
controllers or any modulation source. Vintage Pro also contains 50
different types of 2nd to 6th order resonant & modeling filters which are
used to shape and modify the raw waveforms.
The 64 modulation sources include three multistage envelopes and two
LFOs per layer, as well as full MIDI control over virtually every parameter.
The digital patch bay, with 24 cords per layer, (and 12 more cords per
preset) lets you connect modulation sources to 64 destinations in any
imaginable way. The patch bay contains a set of arithmetic modifiers,
letting you create complex synthesis models.
Four front panel real-time controllers give you control over 12 userselectable parameters. The real-time knobs can adjust multiple synthesizer
functions at once, allowing complex levels of control. For example, one
knob can simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one sample,
and adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually every
synth parameter in the Vintage Pro is controllable using the real-time
knobs or by any internal or external control source.
Six analog outputs let you process separate sounds and integral effect sends
externally. Returns allow the addition of external effects units without the
need for a separate mixer.
Once you have created your preset, you can add richness to your sound
using Vintage Pro’s 24-bit stereo effects. You can choose a different effects
setup for each preset from over 60 algorithms. Vintage Pro’s effects section
is actually two separate effects processors with control over each wet/dry
mix level. Effects Processor “A” contains primarily ambiance algorithms
like reverb and delays, while effects processor “B” contains primarily
spectral algorithms such as chorus, flange, phase, distortion, and delay.
Effects can be linked to each preset or used globally to further enhance your
sound.
The S/PDIF digital stereo output lets you connect to other digital
equipment, such as digital mixers or external effects devices, keeping your
signal entirely in the digital domain.
E-MU Systems
Other features include multiple solo, voice assignment and performance
modes for expressive control, 12 user-definable alternate tunings, an
extremely easy to use interface and, of course, an extensive MIDI implementation.

Normally you will connect MIDI Out of a controller such as a MIDI
keyboard, MIDI wind controller or MIDI guitar controller to the MIDI A
jack of Vintage Pro.
Outputs
Vintage Pro is a high quality, stereo audio device. To reproduce its wide
dynamic range and frequency response, use a high quality amplification
and speaker system such as a keyboard amplifier or home stereo system. A
stereo setup is highly desirable because of the added realism of stereophonic sound. Headphones can be used if an amplifier and speaker system
is not available. Plug stereo headphones into the headphone jack located
on the left side of the front panel. The Right Main output jack serves as a
mono output when the Left Main plug is not plugged in. The Left Main
output jack is a stereo jack carrying both channels.
The S/PDIF output duplicates the function of the main output.

In this setup, Vintage Pro is controlled by MIDI messages, received at both
MIDI A and MIDI B inputs, which are routed by the MIDI interface. Each
MIDI input handles 16 MIDI channels for a total of 32 channels. The MIDI
interfaces allow any MIDI controller, such as a MIDI keyboard or a
computer, to control the module.
MIDI Out
The MIDI Out jack transmits program data to a computer or other device.
Outputs
Three sets of programmable stereo outputs (Main, Sub 1, and Sub 2) are
provided. The internal effects are available only on the Main outputs.
Specific presets (or MIDI channels) can be routed to one of these stereo
pairs in order to be processed further or mixed separately. The S/PDIF
output duplicates the function of the main output.

Vintage Pro is controlled by MIDI messages received at either MIDI input.
In a live performance situation, you might want to use two MIDI
controllers as shown above. Connect MIDI outputs of your MIDI
controllers such as a MIDI keyboard, MIDI drum pads or a MIDI sequencer
to MIDI Inputs A and B of Vintage Pro.
MIDI Thru
The MIDI Thru jack is used to connect additional MIDI devices onto the
MIDI chain. MIDI Thru transmits an exact copy of the messages received at
the respective MIDI In jack (A or B).
Outputs
The Sub 1 and Sub 2 output jacks are stereo jacks. The tip of each jack
(accessed when a standard phone plug is inserted) connects to the left or
right output of that group. The S/PDIF output duplicates the function of
the main output.
Setup
Connection Instructions
If you insert a stereo plug into one of the Sub Outputs, the ring of the plug
serves as a signal Return which sums into the Main outputs.
Therefore, the Sub 1 and Sub 2 jacks can serve as effect sends and
returns in order to further process selected instruments and then
return them to the main mix.
You can use the Sub 1 and Sub 2 jacks as send/returns in order to further
process selected Vintage Pro presets without using the effects bus on the
mixing board. In a pinch, the effect returns can be used to sum additional
instruments into the main outputs. It’s like having an extra line mixer
when you need more inputs!

Each bank of 128 presets is identified by a superscripted Bank Number to the
right of the preset number. The bank numbers reset to 0 at the start of each
ROM card you have installed. So with the composer ROM installed, the
USER banks will go from 0-3, then start over from 0-3 for the VROM banks.
To the right of the preset number and bank is the preset Category name
followed by the Preset Name.
To Change the Preset
1. Place the cursor under the first character in the Preset Number field.
This is the “Home” position which is selected instantly when you press
the Home/Enter button. Pressing either of the two cursor buttons
repeatedly also gets you there.
2. Turn the Data Entry Control knob on the front panel to select a new
preset number. If you turn the knob slowly, the presets advance one
number for each “click” of the knob. If you spin the knob quickly, the
numbers advance much faster (more than one number per click).
3. Play the keyboard (or press the Audition button) and listen to the
sounds made by your Vintage Pro!
4. TURN THE FOUR KNOBS on the front panel and note how they
change the sound of each preset! The button to the left of the knobs
changes the knob’s function. Don’t worry about ruining the sound, the
values are automatically reset as soon as you select a new preset.
