That's a bit strange...
I thought the early Emu1's had no Sequencer (an no Sequencer Control Butttons) ?

Nice pictures!
A question: How does Emulator I 'sound' compared to Emulator II?
Are there big difference?

@ lLisa:

Yes, thats right. I really wonder about my EI.
I was told that, when the sequencer was implemented, Steve Rossum personally visited 'early' owners to install it (as with other upgrades, for example redesigned motherboards..)

If anybody's interested in finding out more about the #001B EI, go ahead and keep me updated about it Wink
I tried to contact so many people, no one had answers about its history...

@Escobar:

The sound is really really different to the EII. It's much more lo-fi, but I like it. It has some machine character to it, more than the EII. It sounds metallic. Anyway, mine doesn't work properly anymore anyway..

About the Sequencer: Well yes, quite a service (!) but not really surprising-seen the cost of the E1 in those days.
(BTW: I bought a E1 a few years back for the cost of renting one for day in 1983...)

About the E1 Sound : I always found it had a kind of 'Mellotronish' Character; the Envelope (or rather the not-Envelope) helps obviously, but besides being Lo-Fi in a very nice way it's also a little 'Low Speed Tape-like', much more than the E2.
A lot of Character which makes it IMHO very useful still today. It's far off the Sampling Rate and Resolution reducing Plug Ins !

Yes, you're just right! Mellotronish is the best word to describe the sound.

+1.

I absolutely agree. I LOVE my Emulator for it's extreme grittiness and simplicity.

That baby's so rusty, but I kinda like it  Grin  Does it work well (I forgot..)? Think so, doesn't it?

Your collection of disks is adorable...

 Cheesy Cheesy
Yeah, I haven't noticed that nor I was aware of it!!
But this not supposed to be an april's Joke. I really got this thing, but I have no idea to whom it belonged first.

I hope it was Stevie's though...

Hi Elm,

That's quite the find then and it looks to be in beautiful shape.  I had an old 4 voice voice version back in the eighties and I sure wish I'd kept it...
