The E-mu SP-12 is a sampling drum machine.[1] Designed in 1984, SP-12 was announced by E-mu Systems in 1985.[2] Expanding on the features of E-mu’s affordable and commercially successful Drumulator, a programmable digital drum machine, SP-12 introduced user sampling, enabling musicians to sample their own drums and other sounds. In August 1987, E-mu replaced SP-12 with SP-1200.[2]
