A 12 bit sampling drum machine with built in sequencer that preceded the more famous SP1200 by a few years. Made by E-mu. The SP12 had a total of 5-7 seconds of sampling time if it was a "Turbo" version, and around 2.5 seconds of sampling time for a standard version. Samples were saved and loaded from 5.25" floppy disks. Some of the channel outputs had fixed low-pass filters assigned to them and the tone of the 12 bit sounds plus the filters gave rhythm tracks a warm signature sound. The "swing" function of the sequencer was also a popular feature. The SP12, unlike the SP1200, had a set of factory sounds similar in nature to other drum machine sounds of the mid-80's era machines (TR-808, TR-909, etc.).

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
