"I chose to use the largest part of the space for the control room, in order to accommodate my video equipment (a small Sony 3/4-inch editing system, Fairlight CVI, and a large screen Barco projector over the mixing board) along with a large battery of electronic percussion (E-mu SP12, Linn 9000, and assorted Simmons and PPG modules) and my new Fairlight Series III and Emulator II."

"The SP12 is like a pile of AMSs, but with a built-in sequencer as well. We got fed up with the sounds in the LinnDrum years ago - even the new chips we got for it. In the end we never had access to the AMS in the demo studio because we were running bloody drum samples triggered off the LinnDrum. We don't have that problem now."

the sp-12 is shown at 2:42 in the video.

Nowadays the Western Works is furnished with machines of an altogether different calibre. The workhorse is E-mu's SP12 sampling drum machine, which Kirk used to sample and sequence up most of the rhythm tracks for Code. Further sampling power is provided by the Emax, sequenced by the Korg SQD1 which is synced to the SP12 and a trusty TR808 with a Roland SBX90. And if this little lot isn't enough, an adjoining room contains an Alpha Juno 2 and a DX7 to be called upon when required: usually to provide synth bass samples for the SP12. With a six-foot high rack of effects to one side of the mixing desk and a 2" 24-track machine to the side of that, the Cabs have everything they need to produce master quality recordings just as and when it suits them.

How many albums made with the combination of those?

In this article it says Emile Haynie uses the E-mu SP-12 and is shown in one of the photos

In an image from the Dancing Astronaut article by Grace Fleisher, DJ Koze's E-mu SP-12 is visible below the MPC 3000, highlighting his use of this classic sampler in his production setup.

Used to produce "Juice (Know the Ledge)", among other songs, as stated in this interview with HOT 97 NY at 37:01.

I just seen it [the movie Juice], and I got this whole idea of what I just seen in my head. So I went to the crib. Maybe a week before that, I went shopping. I used to do my little record shopping and I would play my joints, listen to 'em, and then I would take the good ones, and put 'em at the front of the stack. So I get back to the crib, so I know I got that stack waiting. I pulled the record out. First record. [imitates the bassline] I started looking around the room like, ‘this sh*t is too easy, man.' Took the record off, looped the beat up, I had the SP-12 in the crib (...) Pete Rock taught me how to manipulate it. Sample fast, and then slow it down. What up, Pete! I ain’t forget, kid.

In an interview on the making of "De La Soul is Dead", Prince Paul comments on the equipment used for the album:

"Gino: I know in talking to you for an earlier interview that you guys were using an Akai S-900, an Emu SP-12, and a Casio SK-5 on 3 Feet High and Rising. Did you use the same equipment for De La Soul is Dead?

Prince Paul: Yeah, we used all of the same stuff. We were at the same studio, Calliope. I think we mixed the album at Island Media in New York. We basically used the same format.

Gino: Can you explain the difference between an SP-12 and SP-1200?

Prince Paul: The SP-12 doesn’t have a disk drive so you can’t save the samples. The 1200 has a floppy disk drive that you can save your music in. So we had an early one, the very first one."
