Drumulator and Drumulator Options

Since its introduction, the Drumulator has set the standard for affordable digital
drum machines, offering a combination of superb sounds, advanced features,
and a level of programmability unmatched by drum machines costing three
times its price. Now E-mu Systems introduces a series of options that gives
the Drumulator a dramatic new range of capabilities.

The Pad Programmer
With the E mu Pad Programmer you can now play and program your
Drumulator in the most natural way imaginable: in real time with ordinary
drum sticks. Each of the Programmer's pads can be assigned to any
Drumulator sound and each is touch sensitive, allowing you to choose the
normal or accented version of a sound by how hard you hit its pad.
Programming complex dynamics was never easier. For added versatility the
Pad Programmer includes inputs for processing external controllers, as well as
four trigger outputs for controlling synthesizers, sequencers, or (dare we say
it?) other drum machines.

The Graphic Rhythm Composer
The Graphic Rhythm Composer uses the Drumulator's computer interface to
let you create rhythm patterns on an inter active graphics display. You can then
link these patterns together into complete songs, save them on floppy disk, and
even print them out for future reference. What's more, since you can
independently program the level of each indiuidual note, the GRC opens up a
whole new world of subtle (and not so subtle) dynamics.

New Sounds
For those who prefer it, a crash cymbal chip is now available as a user
installable option to replace the standard ride cymbal. And for those well
versed in the art of software, we can even tell you how to use an Emulator and
a computer to create your own custom Drumulator sound chips.

The Drumulator. With a price of $995.00 we didn't have to make it the best.
But we did.
