E-Mu Systems Emulator II Digital Sampler Synthesizer, uꦯsed with the Grateful Dead

Synthesizer (8.5 x 39 x 18’’). With♔ Steal Your Face logo sticker. Serial number: 1447.

Brent Mydland used this Emulator II in his stage set up in the mid-eighties. One of the most popular of the ‘80’s sampler/workstation synthesizers and now considered a classic, the Emulator II featured MIDI, SMPTE and computer control with floppy dis🌟cs for storage. The low sampling rate and its analog filtꦓers gave it a unique sound.
