LONGboard 61
2010
The E-MU LONGboard 61 is a 61-key USB/MIDI controller keyboard with an onboard sound set, introduced at NAMM 2010. Built on E-MU's 8030 sound engine with 128-voice polyphony and a 64 MB sound ROM, it pairs a performance controller (semi-weighted keys, assignable knobs and sliders, pitch and mod wheels, octave controls) with built-in sounds and PIPEline 2.4 GHz wireless audio/MIDI. It was among E-MU's final products before Creative wound down the brand.
