“You are bidding on THE one and only, mighty SP1200 sampling drum machine by Emu Systems. It holds legendary status in hip-hop production due to it’s ease of use and gritty 12 bit analog sound. Drums crush coming out of this machine! Many, many hip-hop classics were made on the SP1200 by beatmakers like Paul C, Ced G, 45 King, Easy Moe B, DJ Muggs, Large Professor, Nick Wiz, Pete Rock, RZA, Madlib, Showbiz, Lord Finesse, Beat Minerz, Pharaoh Monch, Jell, Lewis Parker, DJ Doom and others. This is the machine of choice for boom bap hip-hop production. I am selling the grey version. It gets a little hotter than the re-issue black version and the sliders are the same as the SP12, slightly thinner than the black re-issue SP1200. The machine you are bidding on is in excellent shape. Very few surface blemishes. The slider pots were newly replaced a couple years ago. All buttons and pads work as they should – no sticky buttons or pads on this machine. The only issue with this machine is the LCD display is showing signs of age. The light is dimmer than it should be. At a certain angle the LCD display is very hard to read. ” Link
“This is fully functional EMU SP 1200. It is the original grey case, which predates the black reissue. the only difference between the two is the color and the power supply. the sounds are the same. i bought this two years ago from Armen’s in NYC. As you can see, cosmetically it has some wear. the silk screening is peeling in some parts. However, it is in complete working condition. It sounds amazing. as with pieces of this age, though, it could probably stand to be recapped to reduce the noise floor. guaranteed to function. im selling it because i don’t sample much anymore and it doesn’t see much action in my studio. kept by me in a smoke free space. comes with power cord and disk with original sp 1200 sounds. ” Link
“Sticker is peeling off of the front. This a very common issue for this particular item” Link
”
There are 3 SP1200′s which were made. I’m pretty confident this is the black reissue made in 1991. Its very hard to tell by the color. The model number is 7030. The serial number is 0991308. From my research the 91 in the serial number indicates the year 1991. If your new to the hardware sampling then I advise to read the manual first. Its not something your going to just turn on and go to work. I’m selling the item not tutorial lessons.
Works great. Very good condition. Some minor scuff marks on left side (as shown in picture 4). The bottom also has scuff marks. Comes with power cord, 13 floppy disks, Hosa 1/4 unbalanced patch cable (8 in/out), external fan (to keep unit cool if need be), original manual (pretty roughed up **will send PDF if needed**), and Moda travel case.
I am the second owner of this unit. I have owned it for 7 years. It has been kept in a smoke free environment.” Link

“Original edition of EMU’s legendary sampling drum machine.
I bought this unit like new from a dealer in Florida a few years back and have only used twice since.
The machine is in perfect working order with responsive buttons, solid display, strong springs and very tight faders (no blinking numbers during truncate).
There is some kind of corrosion to the vinyl coating of the face plate which happened when I first got the machine (I have owned several SP’s and never seen this before) and also the Emu lettering on the bottom left corner is missing due to a careless friend’s use of sticky tape in a video shoot. ” Link

This sp1200 been used in a smoke free environment sitting on a keyboard stand during its stay in my NYC studio.” Link

“E-Mu SP1200 Sampler. This thing is legendary, and this is one of the originals. I’m not sure how many hip-hop records this exact machine was used on, but the SP-1200 is responsible for many of the Slamming Beats found in 90s Hip-Hop and Electronic Music, and is still Widely Used and Highly Coveted Today.
This sampler has definitely been used but not abused. This is fully functional, and does everything it should (and it does a lot).
There are no missing parts and I will even include a floppy disk with some samples from an analog vermona drm3 drum machine. The Filters on this machine makes them sound amazing.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
