PandaFX presents the Ensoniq E-MU SP 1200 Drum Kit featuring six drum sample kits.
This E-MU SP 1200 Drum Kit was used by Kayne West, Swizz Beatz, J-Dilla, Pete Rock RZA, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier plus other great hip hop producers.
The E-mu SP-1200 is a sampler that was released in August 1987 by
E-mu Systems like the product it was meant to replace, the SP-12, the
SP-1200’s intended use was as a drum machine and sequencer for dance
music producers. However, its use as a phrase sampler produces a
“gritty” sound due to the machine’s 26.04 kHz sampling rate, its SSM2044
filter chips and its 12-bit sampling resolution. This distinctive
sound, often said to capture the “warmth” of vinyl recordings (because
both formats attenuate significant amounts of bass and treble), has
sustained demand for the SP-1200 more than thirty years after its
discontinuation, despite the introduction of digital audio workstations
and samplers/sequencers with far superior technical specifications, such
as the Akai MPC. The SP-1200 is strongly associated with hip hop’s
golden age. Its ability to construct the bulk of a song within one piece
of portable gear, a first for the industry, reduced studio costs and
increased creative control for hip-hop artists.
