Description :
Yamaha's EMT-10 half-rack-sized module was one of a series introduced in the late eighties to complement Yamaha organs and the Clavinova series of digital pianos. There was also an FM preset sound module and a digital reverb unit available, all much cheaper than comparable stage- or studio-targeted gear. Not surprisingly, resourceful rock musicians latched onto this pretty quickly, and the EMT-10 in particular became an overnight success.
Although by the standards of the Alesis NanoPiano etc. it is a bit dated, a second-hand EMT-10 still represents excellent value for money. In particular, the String and Choir sounds have a warmth and depth to them which few other instruments seem to be able to produce. Four switches on the panel subtly alter attack time and timbre for all the sounds. The limits of eight-note polyphony can, rather ingeniously, be overcome by purchasing a second module and setting one to respond to even notes only and the other to odd ones! Any of the non-bass sounds may be played in a preset (F#) split with any of the bass sounds. The polyphony is split 2-6, and only one MIDI channel is used for both sounds. The range can be transposed +/- 2 octaves, +6 semitones, -5 semitones and fine-tuned sharp or flat.
