Description
The E-mu Drumulator may be the last underpriced value of the first generation sampling drum machines. Featuring 12 different drum & percussion sounds through a companding 8-bit DAC and analog SSM filters, and comprehensive editing features, this machine successfully competed against the more expensive Linn LM-1, LinnDrum, Oberheim DMX & DX, and Sequential Drumtraks.
This is a demo of this exact Drumulator that is for sale:

The Drumulator is in good physical condition with just a few marks on the case. Two small LEDs were added on the panel and there are some small holes on the right side from mods that have been removed. The knobs are not original. This Drumulator includes the latest OS Firmware (3.00) and Factory MIDI IN, and has just been serviced by Synthchaser in December 2022, including:
- Recapped power supply
- Recapped tantalum capacitors on main PCB
- Replaced slider
- Cleaned pots
- Cleaned switches
- New battery installed
- Patterns & Songs Loaded to get you going
- Factory Test & Calibration Procedure Performed
In testing it was noticed that the tempo is supposed to adjust from 40 to 240 BPM, but on this machine would adjust from 42 to 240 BPM. If you were planning on doing something at 40 or 41 BPM then this is not the Drumulator for you, see my other listings.
Prospective buyers are welcome to come try it out before purchasing. Local pickup is welcome and encouraged. This is a vintage electronic item, so all sales will be as-is and final.
