Witch E-mu sampler ?

Hi,
this is my first post.
I pretend to buy a E-mu sampler since I have a P2500 and a XL-7 with four ROMs
and the PCI 1212m.
and I like to know the differences between the e64 and the e6400, I know the later as IDE drives.

The EIV range are out of my budget.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Going from memory, e 64 is not expandable (max 64 voices, 64 MB Ram), but has digital In/Out and a PC keyboard connector, only Main outs/ Sample Input balanced, Sub 1-3 unbalanced. 6400 has 8 balanced Outs, is expandable. IDE Ultra samplers only !
These days my suggestion were to buy an ULTRA sampler only, it's worth it, really. I mean prices are so low.

Thank you for your help.
And I have another question, does the E-Synth Ultra is like a Ultra but with a synth ROM?
Thanks.

P.S.- I'm not receiving alerts from new messages.

Yes, it's a full Ultra, it has 64 voices (expandable), the D/WAM board installed (Digi In/Out,2nd MIDI pair, Wordclock and connector for PC-keyboard), plus the Synth-Rom. A little limitation is that you have only 64 MB Sample-Ram with the Synth-Rom active, however you can turn that off in the software-menu, i.e. disable the Synth-Rom to give you back full 128 MB Sample-Ram (if you have that much installed, logically). If you get that for a good price ok (worth for the D/WAM alone), the question would be if it makes sense, regarding the Synth-Rom at least ! You wrote you have P 2500 and XL-7 with four Roms :grin: , know what I'm sayin' ? But it doesn't hurt just having the Synth-Rom in there :mrgreen:

So I don't need to pay for the extra Synth ROM since I have 4 ROMs in my P2500/XL-7!
Thank you.

But i am not shure if the Ultra 5000 runs with the Risk fast 32-bit Prozessor !
I think that is the different between the 5000er and all other Ultras. This is the slowest Maschien .

As I remember, the only differents between the E5000 and the other Ultras are, the only four analog outputs and the not upgradable 64 voices on the motherboard and the less powerfull display!

A friend of mine has an E5000. And I donĀ“t think that this Emu is slower in processing than my E4XT Ultra.
