A look back at the Emulator X3 promo video.

"Emulator X3 is known as E-MU's most powerful software-sampler ever created after 40 years of synthesis experience following the success of its successors, Emulator X and Proteus X. This is the 3rd and last version of their great software sampler that inspires most audio enthusiasts and musicians who love to record, create and chop their own samples from scratch and design a unique blend of sounds.

Emulator X3 new sampling technology provides users the the best MIDI control of any soft synth in the market allowing you to map control messages that supports program and bank changes, which means multiple banks of sounds can be loaded. Featuring Xstream™ 24-bit/192 kHz, Streaming Engine, sound quality is totally unmatched using E-MU's patented pitch interpolation and precision 32-bit floating point processing. Unlike Emulator X and Proteus X, this is the only sampling tool that has native support on 32-bit and 64-bit applications both for Windows XP, Vista and is indeed compatible to run on Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems."

via Wikipedia:

"Following E-MU's decision to end sales and production of its hardware sampler line in 2003, Emulator X was released as the company's first entry into the software sampler market in 2004.[1] Emulator X2 was released in 2006,[3] followed by the third and final incarnation, Emulator X3, in 2009.[4] The product has since been discontinued[5] and is no longer available to purchase from either E-MU or its parent company, Creative Technology."
