Emu 1820m Soundcard & Emulator X Studio Software

MC rebbe The Rapping Rabbi reviews Emu 1820m and Emulator X Studio in The Technofile

I’ve bolted the doors, I’ve locked the windows and I’m sitting here with my Uzi in one hand and my Emulator in the other…if Emu think they’re getting it back…they can think again…not that I need the Uzi to scare them off…the sample library of The Emulator X Studio is so comprehensive that it’s bound to contain an ultra realistic multi sampled Uzi, so if they come a knocking, I’ll put my speakers up against the windows and let rip…in real time with near zero latency!

Lock some of the world’s top sound designers in a room with a hundred copies of Native Instruments’ ‘Reaktor’ and eventually they’ll come up with an exclusive range of cutting edge synthesizers, drum machines and effects. Ask Photek, BT, Junkie XL, Speedy J, Richard Devine and others to create presets for these new instruments/FX, then release them as a stand alone package that’s based on the Reaktor Engine, but which doesn’t require Reaktor to run and you have Electronic Instruments 2XT.
