I know that a lot of you have been closely involved in repairing E-mus over the years. Ever had any big name bands/players gear come through? I'd be interested to hear.....

It was an E2.

Copy sounds : did you even hear about something called : "deontology" ?

Sorry about the answer, but it is at the measure of the question.

Hey Doc!
Do you still remember what you had from him? Maybe you can help me identifying my #001 Emulator...

I had Klaus Schulzes Korg T2 and some studio gear of his. I still have a Jellinghaus midi - CV converter of his
I had Bernie Worrells Minimoog
My Series IIx Fairlight was Kim Wildes
And my EMS DK1 keyboard came from Pink Floyd (but they must have had quite a few!)

Not sure about the series III but the Series I was from a Canadian university (Vancouver I believe). I think it was about the 7th CMI sold..

Don't laugh. But more than 15 years ago I bought my E-mu Drumulator (ok, it's not a synth ! ;-) from a man living ~30km from my house (it was a notice of sale in a newspaper). When I met him I recognized him as "Ricky King", a famous guitar player here in Germany who has sold over 6 millions of records. When I was a child i loved his song "Verde" which has been a number one hit here centuries ago:
