Mos‑Lab has released an E‑Mu Modular clone and is taking orders, the company announced in a March 2026 website update while SynthAnatomy ran the news on March 8, 2026. "The MOS-LAB Website Is Back !" reads the vendor post, and it adds that "Orders are now open and can be placed directly via info@mos-lab.com," confirming immediate availability from Sebastien Moumon, aka Mos‑Lab.

The Mos‑Lab E‑Mu range is described as a complete offering: 21 modules, a power supply, and two cases, a small and a large one, according to SynthAnatomy. The reporting emphasizes that "The modules are 1:1 clones/replicas with the same feature sets and sizes as the original E-Mu Modular," which frames Mos‑Lab’s claim of exacting proportions to match Dave Rossum’s 1974 instrument.

This project grew out of a personal build and was shown publicly at SynthFest France 2021, where Mos‑Lab first displayed the E‑Mu reproduction, SynthAnatomy’s June 6, 2021 coverage notes. SynthAnatomy then and now identifies the developer by name: "Sebastien Moumon, aka Mos-Lab, is a French developer who has already revived many modular classics, including the Moog Modular, ARP 2500, and Kobol Expander 3." The current announcement frames the work as five years in development, moving from a personal project to an official product available commercially.

Mos‑Lab stresses a handcrafted, limited approach rather than mass production. SynthAnatomy describes the units as "Not mass-produced, but handcrafted and in its original size," while the March 2026 MOS‑LAB post says the team spent "several months dedicated to in-depth research, fine adjustments, and refinement" to "finalize the development of our new replica intended for commercial release." That language positions the E‑Mu clones as small‑quantity builds with attention to original character and technical detail.

The announcement leaves several practical questions open: neither SynthAnatomy nor MOS‑LAB list prices, an itemized module roster, production run counts, or lead times in the March 2026 material. MOS‑LAB’s post closes with community thanks, "We warmly thank the community for its patience and continued support, and we are delighted to finally share this completed project," and the page carries "Copyright © 2026, MOS-LAB . All Rights Reserved."

For context on Mos‑Lab’s pricing posture, SynthAnatomy’s 2021 coverage noted a past Mos‑Lab Model 10 replica starting at 4200€, which it described as "certainly not a bargain but is significantly cheaper than the official re-releases from Moog." SynthAnatomy also discloses that it "uses affiliation & partner programs (big red buttons) to finance a part of the activity." With the E‑Mu Modular now open for order via info@mos-lab.com, collectors and builders can request details directly from Mos‑Lab to secure one of these limited, 1:1 replicas of Dave Rossum’s 1974 design.
