The eos use a kinda "modular-synthesis", which means that what you can do with it is almost unlimited. In my own opinion I find the synthesis in eos just as powerful, or even more powerful than many of todays samplebased-synths like for example the fantom series from roland. The emu it self got some "test tones" which are sinuswaves, trianglewaves and so on, so you can samples those waves into it's memory, loop them, and you will then have pretty much the same soundshaping-possibilities as on the occasional analogue synth. It will not sound quite as good as an true analogue synth, but hey, you can't make an analogue synth sound like a grand piano, can you?
This turned out to be kinda confusing, but my recommandation is that you get the e64. Just make sure it got an internal harddrive!
