IMAGEEMU known or written as E-mu formerly Eµ Systems
Once very innovative in modular systems incl. new digital technologies and the very well known Emulator Sampler series and Sample libraries bought Ensoniq (incl their polypressure patent, but do not even sell keyboards with polypressure today..)
well, they were bought by Creative Labs and possibly thats why they no longer make hardware samplers or synthesizers and lost their compatibelity to the Mac. so overall a sad ending story of a very innovative american dream.

THE MANUFACTURER
Emu waren der Erfinder sehr innovativer Modularsysteme mit ersten digitalen Komponenten, der Emulator Sampler Reihe und kaufte die ebenso innovativee Firma Ensoniq und wurden später von Creative Labs übernommen und verkaufen leider heute weder die polypressure Technik von Ensoniq noch Hardware Sampler oder Synthesizer. Sie waren nicht nur legendär, sondern waren auch für eine gute Klangbibliothek bekannt und sehr Mac-freundlich. Das ist heute anders, keines der Prdukte heute ist Mactauglich. Sehr traurige Entwicklung aus Sicht eines Synthesizer oder Mac-Nutzers.
