In the world of sampling, most people incorrectly equate quality with the size of a sound bank. The more RAM the bank consumes, the better the quality, right? When it comes to analog emulation, this is not true! The big-RAM-equals-big-sound theory takes a beating at Analoguesque because we prove how misleading it is! How many times have you downloaded a huge bank off the web only to find that it sounds bad? With analog synth emulation on samplers, size does not always equal quality, and our sound banks are testimony to this. We pride ourselves in keeping size down while maximizing the phattness of the analog sound. In fact, it is this very quality of size-control which makes our banks sound more analog than others do! Our SoundFont® Banks and Emu® EOS patches use this technique to create a more realistic playback atmosphere for analog sounds.

Our samples are of the highest quality - always 16-bit, and mostly 44.1Khz, except on rare occasions when lower sampling rates are used to enhance the sound. Our waveforms are generated digitally from software which we custom designed to create perfect loop-points, so there's no need to worry about sub-quality samples. Our pristine raw waveforms are about as perfect as you can get!

How about our sounds for the Yamaha SY77? We have spent a lot of time learning the intricacies of this extremely complex synth, and have explored every option available to bring out the analog beast within. All our patches are designed specifically for the SY77, and take full advantage of it's extraordinary ability to sound analog when programmed correctly.

We have concentrated our efforts in 3 areas: Emu® EOS (E4B format) sound banks; SoundFont® Banks; and Yamaha® SY77 sound banks. This has allowed us to develop each format's strong points and push them to the pinnacle of analog emulation. For further details on each product, please follow the INFO links below.:
