The Emulator II “Map”
Sure, you’re anxious to start coaxing wonderful sounds from the instrument -- but like ground
school for pilots, the following is a necessary part of learning how to play the Emulator II. It is
important to understand how the Emulator II organizes sounds in order to make best use of the
instrument in the shortest possible time. Also, many terms will be introduced now that will show
up later in the manual.
You can think of the Emulator II as resembling a collection of modules, linked by various
pathways (see the Map in Figure 2). These paths indicate how information flows within the
Emulator II; let’s take a closer look at what makes up this information, and how it is transferred
from one section of the instrument to another.
