"Emu E-drum Drum Synth, Clavia Edrum, with 4 8-bit Drum Cartridges
Up for auction is a vintage 80s Emu E-drum in working condition and includes 4 Emu/Clavia 8-bit E-drum cartridges (names of cartridges below), and original mounting hardware.
The E-drum was actually developed by Clavia DMI in Sweden, and provided drummers with a single, touch-sensitive pad drum module that offered 40dB of volume range with internal sounds generated from a removable cartridge (containing from one to four 8-bit samples on a 16kB EPROM). A variety of different sound cartridges could be purchased and interchanged in the E-drum, and an optional hardware assembly allowed modular construction of entire drum kits.
This Emu E-drum includes a pitch control, which tunes the pitch either up, down, or no effect (middle position). There is also a Decay control for the triggered 8-bit sound as well as a very warm sounding Treble and Bass controls. The E-drum can be triggered by striking the rubber head on the drum or providing a ¼” triggered input. The E-drum can be powered by two 9v batteries (internal), or can be powered by an 18v DC adapter with an 1/8” plug.
The Emu E-drum in this auction is confirmed working; trigger drum pad, knobs, and output are all confirmed working properly. Output is strong and clean and can be heard in the demo mp3 posted in the link below.
4 Emu E-Drum/Clavia Original Cartridges are included with the Emu E-drum in this auction:
· Grand Piano
· Tom 1
· Rototom 2
· Marimba
