And I’m personally excited to hear Dave talk about the Emulator II. Type: 27.7 kHz, 8-bit sampling instrumentĭave Rossum’s work on E-MU is really coming into its own – as we work out in the 2020s what all that digital design from the 80s, 90s, and start of the 21st century meant. It’s certainly an interesting historical recreation – though there are a few Dave Rossum creations I wouldn’t mind seeing in software.

And while a lot of software developers are covering the same ground, the E-MU recreation and retro vocoder have the potential to be a bit more of a draw even relative to other options.Įmulator II V gives your samples some lo-fi character, while staying playable. The others are pretty big would-be hits, too. Source: Oberheim OB-Xa (and bits of the 1979 OB-X)

It’s not the only Oberheim recreation, but it is perhaps the deepest and broadest. One of them we did see back in May – the OB-Xa I gave an extensive review. They can’t say what the original brands were, but I can. You get 3 new things you’ve never seen before + 1 recently new thing added to the bundle + 2 upgrades to existing instruments… and 700 new patches. You’ll see a lot of V’s.) New instruments (3 surprises + 1 not-a-surprise) V is virtual, not “five.” 8 is the version number. So, okay, what does 8 bring to the table? (This will confusing to the uninitiated, so clarification first. And even with Roland making their back catalog available in Roland Cloud, and Native Instruments with their broad Komplete, there’s simply nothing quite like Arturia’s V Collection for presenting all these vintage recreations as is – a massive historic library.
