New RFX-32 Processor Standard
E4 Platinum features E-MU's new 32-bit RFX-32 Effects Processor/Mixer Card, which offers users
16 stereo, studio-quality effects "blocks" at one time. The RFX-32 Card has been developed
around E-MU's new proprietary R-Chip, that offers DSP power unmatched by any other effects
processor on the market today. "The E4 Platinum and RFX-32 Card significantly increase the
power and flexibility of the already market-leading E4 Ultra sampler line," comments Sean
Wilhelmsen, Director of Product Planning. "The E4 Platinum brings more power to the table in
three rackspaces than any other instrument on the planet," he adds. E4 Platinum also ships with
128 MB of RAM, a 20 CD-ROM bundle, and a large IDE hard drive.
Total Integration into the Studio
In addition to offering musicians and sound designers the most advanced sampling and
sound-sculpting tools available, like 128 voice polyphony, Beat-Mungingª and Z-Plane filters, E4
Platinum also offers users a powerful internal digital mixer and flexible routing architecture that
can serve as the centerpiece of any studio. Using its new 24-bit analog and ADAT inputs and
outputs, users can now route external signals into the E4 Platinum, through its synthesis and
effects engines and pass the signal out through any of its analog, ADAT and AES/EBU outputs.
"E4 Platinum represents E-MU's commitment to the professional market that demands
state-of-the-art technology and uncompromising sound quality," states Scott Emmerman, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing, Americas. "E4 Platinum is the culmination of several
technologies that have been developed at E-MU over the past few years, and marks a milestone in
the convergence and integration of performance instruments and studio processors and mixers,"
he adds. For more information, visit their web site at www.emu.com. |
