The E-mu SCSI device lists contain test results on SCSI hard drives, MO drives, CD-ROMs and other mass storage devices that E-mu customers way with to use with E-mu products. They are to be used as a general reference guide and not an absolute guarantee that your results will match ours, particularly since every SCSI system configuration is different. Our test systems are kept relatively clean and simple to aviod false negative test results.
Things to be aware of as you use this information:
* There is no way E-mu can test every SCSI device.
* There is no way E-mu can assure that SCSI devices that are tested will work with every revision of E-mu software for every E-mu product past or present, nor with other revisions of those SCSI devices. The E-mu softwarae revision most recently tested with each device is listed, along with an indication of the status of that software compared with what is currently shipping as of the date on the list. The lists show only the most recent test for each device/product combination
* These tests involve simple mount, format, install file system, save and load operations. We make no attempt to run laboratory evaluations which involve more extensive statistical data gathering at environmental extremes. Nevertheless, our results have proven to translate very well into "buy/don't buy" decisions for our customers.
* That having been said, the best and most reliable advice we can give is always "try before you buy", and "buy from a reputable source where you can get technical assistance, or return the drive if it doesn't work"
* If you are considering using a favourite SCSI device with your E-mu product and it isn't on this list, call our Customer Service Department at (408) 438-1921 and give us the make, model and description of the device. We may be able to acquire one for test if there is enough demand for a specific device.
* These lists are proprietary to E-mu Systems, Inc. for the benifit of our customers. Republication or distribution in any form is specifially prohibited. CAVEAT EMPTOR (Let the Buyer Beware)

E4 Ultra Sampler Options
The hardware design, chassis and mainboard for the Ultra samplers allowed for several additional options to be added.
Option spaces included:
Polyphony Upgrade
E-mu Part Number 6860
Upgraded the E-Synth Ultra or E6400 Ultra to 128 voices of polyphony.
This upgrade plugged in inside the unit, and was physically invisible once installed.
ADAT Option
E-mu Part Number 6861
Upgraded the Ultra with 8 channels of ADAT input, and 16 channels of ADAT output, on 3 TOSLINK connectors.
This upgrade consumed 1 of the 3 "upgrade port" blanking spaces on the rear of the sampler.
Output Expander
E-mu Part Number 6313
This option expanded the number of analogue outputs by 8. The outputs were all balanced, on TRS jacks. On the E6400 Ultra and E-Synth Ultra, this expanded the number of outputs to 16. On the E5000 Ultra, this expanded the number of outputs to 12.
This upgrade consumed 2 of the 3 "upgrade port" blanking spaces on the rear of the sampler.
D-WAM Option (Digital, Wordclock, ASCII, MIDI)
E-mu Part Number 6862
This card for the E6400 Ultra and E5000 Ultra added digital (AES/EBU) I/O on XLR connectors, Wordclock I/O on BNC connectors, a second MIDI In, Out and Thru socket, and an ASCII keyboard input.
This upgrade consumed the blanking holes on the rear designed for this upgrade, and did not affect the ability to install any other upgrades.
RFX Effects Processor
E-mu Part Number 6864
This option added a quite powerful internal effects processor, bringing with it 32 channels of effects with highly complex routing options.
The RFX card was installed internally, and was physically invisible once the machine was reassembled.
EDI (E-mu Digital Interface)
E-mu Part Number 6863
This option never made it to market, but was developed from the proprietary multichannel audio bussing system that would later be seen used to connect E-mu soundcards to breakout boxes on products like the 1820M and 1616M soundcards.
E-Synth Sound ROM
E-mu Part Number 6870
This was an internally installed optional 16M ROM board of sounds for the Ultra samplers. This meant that upon booting the unit, you would have sounds straight away ready to go. Standard on the E-Synth, it was optional on all other Ultra units.
Orbit/Phatt Sound ROM
E-mu Part Number 6871
This was an internally installed optional 16MB ROM board, featuring every sample from the E-mu Orbit and Planet Phatt sound modules.
16MB Flash ROM
E-mu Part Number 6876
This option allowed you to internally install a 16MB Flash SIMM, and then store your preset/sample data on it, allowing for instant sound playback upon booting.
32MB Flash ROM
E-mu Part Number 6877
This option allowed you to internally install a 32MB Flash SIMM, and then store your preset/sample data on it, allowing for instant sound playback upon booting.
SCSI HD Mounting Kit
E-mu Part Number 6301
This kit allowed you to install an internal SCSI drive in your Ultra sampler.
IDE HD Mounting Kit
E-mu Part Number 6303
This kit allowed you to install an internal IDE drive in your Ultra sampler.
Option spaces included:
- 3 Option 'ports' (covered with blanking panels) at the rear of the unit.
- Spaces for the DWAM (Digital I/O, Wordclock, ASCII, MIDI) sockets.
- Internal 72-pin ROM and Flash SIMM sockets.
Polyphony Upgrade
E-mu Part Number 6860
Upgraded the E-Synth Ultra or E6400 Ultra to 128 voices of polyphony.
This upgrade plugged in inside the unit, and was physically invisible once installed.
ADAT Option
E-mu Part Number 6861
Upgraded the Ultra with 8 channels of ADAT input, and 16 channels of ADAT output, on 3 TOSLINK connectors.

Emulator 4 Ultra Series
The Emulator 4 Ultra series was introduced at the 1999 Winter NAMM show (January 99).
An update of the E4X series, the primary hardware difference in the Ultra range was a new 32-bit RISC processor (actually a coldfire processor), which gave much improved processing speed on many operations within the sampler.
The new coldfire processor also allowed the introduction of a completely new feature, "Beat Munger". Beat Munger was a real-time beat-manipulation tool that allowed you to take a sample, analyse it for tempo, and then 'switch on' or 'switch off' certain slices of the loop. The sampler would then reconstitute the remaining parts of the loop in real time (as the loop played back) - which made it a powerful and flexible tool for quickly designing new loops from old ones (even though it couldn't be MIDI-sync'd).
The initial Ultra models were:
E4XT Ultra
Polyphony: 128
RAM: 64MB (expandable to 128)
Hard Drive: 3.2 GB internal HD installed
MIDI: 2 In, 2 Out, 2 Thru

9 CD ROMs supplied in box
In late 1999, the lower-end E5000 Ultra was introduced:
E5000 Ultra

Outputs: 4 balanced analogue on TRS (expandable to 12)
Wordclock and AES/EBU I/O both an option
2 CD ROMs supplied in box
All of these samplers shipped with EOS V4 software (technically EOS V4 Ultra)- and with the release of the Ultra line, the EOS software was split in to two lines, with EOS "Ultra" operating systems for the Ultra hardware, and EOS "Classic" operating systems for the previous Emulator 4 machines.
