Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the E-MU Vintage Keys. Vintage Keys
offers you all of the legendary keyboard sounds of the '60's, '70's and '80's in
a single rack space. From tonewheel organs and suitcase keyboards to
analog and FM synthesizers, Vintage Keys gives you the most authentic and
comprehensive collection of classic keyboard sounds ever assembled.
Thanks for purchasing this E-MU product. We sincerely hope you enjoy
rediscovering these instruments and making them a part of your music.
Vintage Keys contains three additional, user-upgradable sound SIMM
sockets, allowing you to mix and match sound sets according to your
needs. New sounds can be added as easily as plugging in a new 16MB or
32MB SIMM module and up to 128MB of sounds can be installed! Each
sound set has been meticulously crafted to be the best of its kind. Samples
are matched across the keyboard, perfectly looped, and rich in harmonic
texture.
Vintage Keys contains 512 user presets and can hold literally thousands of
factory presets. (ROM presets are automatically added when sound SIMMs are
installed. As an example, a 32 MB SIMM may contain up to 1024 ROM presets.)
Vintage Keys's Sound Navigator is a major improvement to the main screen
that makes it easy to find the exact sound you want from the thousands
available. It's powerful, yet simple to use.
Velocity & Pressure Sensitive Keyboard
The five-octave, velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch allows you to
perform live or record via MIDI into an external computer/sequencer. The
keyboard action is extremely responsive, capturing all the subtle nuances of
your performance.
Multi-Function Controllers
Multi-function buttons allow you to trigger arpeggiators and notes inter-
nally or on any of your other MIDI devices. They can act as preset select
buttons or Beats Mute or MIDI Trigger buttons (latched or unlatched).
