The E-mu sp-1200 is a classic sampler famed for its gritty texture and ability to simulate the sound of vinyl recordings. Released in 1988, the sp-1200 became an icon of the golden era of hiphop. Designed to be used as both a drum sequencer and sampler in one, the sp-1200 features 22 kHz (roughly half the fidelty of a compact disc) and 12-bit resolution; along with the idiosnycratic SSM filter chip these machines were fitted with make for a dirty, gritty sound. One of the attributes of the sp-1200 is its extremely small amount of memory, roughly 10 seconds.
