For sale: E-MU Virtuoso in excellent condition with both Orchestral ROMs, rack ears, and original heavy duty power cable. This unit is in exceptional condition for its age.
Encoder was in great shape, but installed a new one to ensure smooth operation for years to come.
Upgraded to the latest OS (2.26)
Both Orchestral ROMs included and both pass testing (see photos 14/15)
A few very minor scuffs/scratches in the finish. Please see photos 1, 16, 17, and 18. There are also some expected markings on the rack ears. All will disappear nicely once mounted in your rack.
