Rare EMU keyboard?

Recommended Posts

Right before EMU discontinued its keyboards and sound modules, the Vintage Pro was on the market. There was supposedly both a module and keyboard version of it, however, I've never seen the actual keyboard unit.

 

Does anyone know if it was ever made?

I had one a number of years ago and put the B3 rom in it as well. Emu used the same kybds, changed the colour schemes and dropped in a different rom and gave them a different name. I was able to pick up quite a few roms for @ $49 each when they blew them out and sold them for an avg of $210 each = pd for a slightly used Voyager AE at the time.

Just to clarify--that was a Vintage Pro keyboard you owned? Because from what I've read there was an earlier Vintage Keys module/keyboard that preceded the "Pro."

To my knowledge, there was never a keyboard version of the Vintage Keys module. There were also modules called Vintage Keys Plus and Classic Keys (but again, no keyboard versions).

 

Also, don't confuse the VK-6 with the PK-6 or XK-6. They look nearly identical but have different ROMs and are different colors.

Full run-down can be seen at the E-Mu Systems Product Timeline page. Probably best to go straight to the source on this, no? ;)

 

PK-6 (Pop/Rock) - 2001

XK-6 (Techno/Electronica) - 2001

MK-6 (Hip-Hop) - 2001

Vintage Keys (Classic Keyboards) - 2003

These keyboards combined the sound engine of the Proteus 2000 with a 61-note keyboard, and featured 64-voice polyphony, four internal soundROM slots and four analog outputs.
