Description
Old-School rack module from E-MU systems – quite a rare beast now! Carnaval was one of a trio of modules released by E-MU – the others being Dance Planet and Planet Phatt. They are aimed at dance & hip-hop music producers
Carnaval is aimed at Latin music but has hundreds of samples & loops in different styles, including guitars – acoustic, electric, 12‑string, nylon, steel, etc – and percussion including timbales, congas, bongos, cabasa, quica, shakers and more cowbell
“The whole point of an E-mu module is the synth engine and programming. Unlike the more refined and heavily efx processed Roland and Korg sounds, E-mu is like home cooking, and you only really get out of it what you put in”
“In a way, Emu have done the Carnaval a disservice in calling it a Latin sound module, because it encompasses a much wider range of sounds and styles than this tag implies. However, if your inclination is toward Latin styles, the Carnaval is an obvious choice because this is what it does best, and there’s very little else available quite like it” – Sound on Sound
In excellent used condition with minimal case marks or rack rash. Refurbished in our workshops with a recapped power supply and new main encoder. Tested & working 100%. Photos show the synth for sale
