0
What was a key reason the E-mu SP-1200's sound remained influential despite its technical limitations?
It had the highest audio fidelity of any sampler at the time, making it the clearest sounding drum machine.
Its low sampling rate and 12-bit resolution created a distinctive warm and gritty sound that producers valued.
Its sound was popular because it perfectly replicated acoustic drum kits without any digital artifacts.
