E-mu Systems, Inc. is a synthesizer maker and pioneer in the manufacture of digital sampling music workstations.
Founded in 1971 by Scott Wedge and Dave Rossum, E-Mu began making high end modular synthesizers, but became famous for the digital samplers which changed the way we do pop-music.
The Emulator sampler debuted in 1981 at a list price of $7,900, less than the $30,000 Fairlight. Following the Emulator II and III, the company also began producing a line of rackmount modules called the E-Mu Proteus, containing pre-recorded samples in ROM. In 1987, E-mu's SP-1200 drum sampler offered an "all-in-one" box for sequencing not only drum sounds, but looping samples, and it quickly became the instrument of choice for hip-hop producers. In 1993 E-mu was acquired by Creative Technology (the Singaporean parent company of Creative Labs) and began working on PC soundcard synthesis. Throughout the 1990s E-mu made many different rackmount keyboard-less synthesizers. In 1998, E-mu was combined with Ensoniq, another Creative Technology acquisition. A bit later subsequent products from E-mu were exclusively in software form. In 2004 E-mu released the Emulator X, a PC-based version of its hardware samplers with extended synthesis capabilities. While a PCI card is used for audio input and output, the algorhithms no longer run on dedicated hardware but in software on the PC. Proteus X, a software-based sample player was released in 2005.
