Emu 61 LONGboard Keyboard
The latest keyboard in EMU's arsenal features multi-timbral synthesis, multi-voice sampling and true wireless capability thanks to a built in transmitter. With the Shortboard, EMU eliminate all the previous problems of needing external MIDI gear thanks to the banks of classic instruments and high quality sounds. Then they got rid of the wires too! With the help of a Pipeline Receiver (sold separately) your EMU keyboard can be used with no wires making it perfect for the stage, and convenient for the home and studio.
Here's what EMU Say about the LONGboard 61
The LONGboard 61 is a professional 61-note USB/MIDI instrument ideal for the stage or studio. The instrument sports an all new E-MU synthesizer chip capable of 16-part multitimbral, 128-voice professional sample playback with 32-bit reverb and chorus effects and comes packed with a 64MB sound set that includes a General Midi bank and a complete range of classic keyboard sounds such as: Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos, B3s, Clavinets, and Solina-Moog-OB-Prophet-Juno-TB synthesizer leads and basses.
Easy to setup and use
Designed to operate as a stand alone instrument, the LONGboard 61 can operate on USB, wall adapter, or even battery power. To use with a computer, just plug in and go! With the Kensington slot and dual headphone jacks, the LONGboard 61 is ideal for academic and institutional settings.
The LONGboard 61 also has a built in wireless transmitter that, when combined with an E-MU PIPEline receiver and a set of batteries, enables a totally wireless playing experience! (PIPEline is E-MU's new wireless stereo transceiver system designed for musicians.)
