SP12


a 12 bit sampling drum machine with built in sequencer that preceded the more famous sp1200 by a few years. made by e-mu. the sp12 had a total of 5-7 seconds of sampling time if it was a “turbo” version, and around 2.5 seconds of sampling time for a standard version. samples were saved and loaded from 5.25″ floppy disks. some of the channel outputs had fixed low-p-ss filters -ssigned to them and the tone of the 12 bit sounds plus the filters gave rhythm tracks a warm signature sound. the “swing” function of the sequencer was also a popular feature. the sp12, unlike the sp1200, had a set of factory sounds similar in nature to other drum machine sounds of the mid-80’s era machines (tr-808, tr-909, etc.).
