Buy Pre-Owned E-MU Synths and Samplers

E-MU made the Proteus sound modules and ESI samplers that filled studio racks in the 1990s, and plenty of players still want those sounds. We get in Proteus 1, 2, 2000 and 2500 modules, the Morpheus, Classic Keys, ESI-32 and ESI 4000 samplers and the later 1616 audio interface.

Free UK delivery on every order. Klarna available at checkout.

Why buy E-MU from Audio Trader?

Every E-MU unit is tested before listing and graded for condition. Every input gets a cable, every control gets turned, somebody actually plays it, and we listen for hum, hiss and crackle through our own rig. On older rack units, any dead display segments or worn buttons are noted in the listing.

E-MU FAQs

Common questions about buying used E-MU gear from Audio Trader

How do you test used E-MU gear?

Every item is tested before listing and graded for condition. Every input gets a cable, every control gets turned, somebody actually plays it, and we listen for hum, hiss and crackle through our own rig. Any fault or wear is noted in the listing, and anything sold as spares or repair is clearly marked.

Do E-MU samplers still work with modern setups?

They work over MIDI with any controller or DAW that sends MIDI, and their audio outputs go into any interface or mixer. Loading samples onto an older ESI sampler can need older storage or software, so check the listing for what's included and ask us if you're unsure.

Do you offer free delivery on E-MU gear?

Yes. Free UK delivery on every order. Gear is wrapped by hand with extra padding on the knobs and sockets.

Can I sell or trade in my E-MU gear?

Yes. Send us the details and photos through our trade-in form and we'll quote within 24 hours. You can take payment by bank transfer or put the value towards something from our stock. Free UK collection on all trade-ins.
