Classic Keys
1994
The Classic Keys sound module is a cheaper solution of the Vintage Keys. E-MU replaced the expensive digital filter chips with two low cost FX chips. It uses the same 249 samples found in the Vintage Keys module but with totally new presets. It contains hundreds of rich, warm textural sounds from a range of vintage keyboards, including Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Hammond, Prophet, Moog, ARP, Mellotron, Oberheim, acoustic, digital and analog drum kits.
