Emu® EOS

EOS sound banks that fit onto a 1.44Mb floppy? This must be a joke!

Absolutely not! Throw away all your preconceptions about requiring giant samples to give you a phatt sound on your Emu®! You will be stunned by the wealth of amazing vintage emulations we squeeze into 1.44Mb, and all in pristine 16-bit, 44.1Khz quality! In fact, the very quality which makes these banks so small is that which makes them sound so analog. Essentially, we're going back to basics and using our Emu® sampler like an analog synth ... raw, unrefined, and driven by Emu®'s superior resonance and filtering! If you've ever heard an Ensoniq ESQ-1 or SQ80, or a Roland Alpha Juno or Korg DW8000, then you know the power of the analog-digital hybrid synthesis we've got cooking.

Note: These banks are completely different from our SoundFont banks - they are not converted SoundFonts.

All patches are assigned an identifying 3-character category, which distinguishes bass sounds from leads and pads. This allows easy categorizing, as follows:
Category  Synth 

Example

BAS Bass BAS:Satan Drone
LED Lead LED:Phase Warp
PAD Pad PAD:Sonic Dream

There are hard-edged leads and stomping basses, swirling pads, blippy hits, huge resonant sweeps, ground-shaking, ball-breaking synths, and just about everything the discerning vintage enthusiast could want in their Emu®! If you're stuck with a sampler and need to add analog ballz to your mix, we've got exactly what you need in these banks, and it won't break your RAM bank either! Absolutely stonking sounds in a ridiculously low RAM count, and all in perfect digital quality!

All banks were programmed under EOS 4.10 on an Emu Esynth Keys sampler, so the modulation wheel, thumby button, and A-D controllers all perform various tasks (filter cutoff, loop variation ... etc).

Presently we have a themed set of three, 64-preset (66 including the 2 free presets) sound banks available in E4B format for your EOS sSynth:

  •  Analog Dreams     Listen to 'Homewecker'          $13.95  $23.95      872Kb

    This bank has 64+2 presets of phatt analog sounds to sink your teeth into. Seering leads, thumping basses, mega sweeps, floating pads, and much, much more. All presets are designed on an Esynth keyboard and take full advantage of all the assignable controllers and sliders, while digging deep into Emu®'s superior processing power and filters. As in our SoundFont Bank collections, the waveforms in these banks are generated using our proprietary in-house software, so the sounds created are very unique, although retaining a familiar analog feel to them. What's more, they are all in pristine 16-bit, 44.1Khz quality, and digital generation leaves them clear of any distortions due to noise or other sampling anomalies.

  •  Buy all 3 E-Mu Banks for $39.95   (save $1.90 off individual purchases)

These banks can all be saved onto a 3¼ inch floppy disk and then loaded into your EOS synth. In fact, this is the only way you can get the E4B format into your Emu® sampler. The E4B format used for the save is compatible with all Emu® equipment running the EOS operating system. What is E4B format? It is a DOS-compatible format which is saved from the ESynth onto any DOS-formatted disk. Although extremely slow and agonizing, the E4B format is easy to work with, transfer, and download. It takes some time to load the sounds into your ESynth from floppy, but once they're loaded you can dump them to your ESynth's internal HDD.

Loading the E4B banks into your Emu requires the following:
1. Your Emu must have a working 3¼ inch floppy drive and be able to accept E4B format files.
2. You must be able to format a DOS floppy.

 
DEMOS AND SOUND BYTES

NOTE: Demos are in Windows Media and MP3 format, and require a compatible player. Please click on the Windows Media Player link to download a player which supports both formats.

These Demo sounds were selected and processed at random. Our samples exhibit an extremely wide range of frequencies which cannot be replicated by the WMA and MP3 formats, resulting in anomalies in the sound. The loss of sound quality in these demos is due to the WMA and MP3 compression formats, not the actual E-Mu® samples or patches.
