When the SP-1200 was first introduced, it quickly became the tool of choice among studio and performing musicians. Its sound quality and flexibility made it the standard for professional user-sampling percussion systems- Now, by popular demand, E-mu Systems® is proud to reissue the SP-1200 in a special limited edition black housing. This is the SP-1200 that has been used on literally hundreds of hit recordings. You wanted it. It's back!

The SP-1200 gives you up to 32 instantly available user sounds contained in four banks. You can easily create custom sound sets by drawing from the extensive SP-1200 library and from your own samples.
