Emu® Emulator X

If you're looking for digital synth sounds and analog textures built from the ground up, we have plenty for you. There's a brand new 128-preset bank built specially for Emulator X, three 66-preset banks converted from our EOS sets, and another three 128-preset banks converted from our SoundFont collection. The SoundFont and EOS conversions have been tweaked specifically for Emulator X, and all banks can be manipulated in real-time by up to 14 controller parameters (besides the usual pan, mod-wheel, pitch bend ... etc), such as filter cutoff, resonance, sample start, and much more. This gives you a huge palette of sounds that can be modified on-the-fly for some amazing real-time, whacked-out sounds.

There are hard-edged leads and stomping basses, swirling pads, blippy hits, huge resonant sweeps, ground-shaking, ball-breaking synths, and just about everything vintage enthusiasts could want! If you're stuck with a sampler and need to add analog and digital ballz to your mix, these banks will have what you need!

We presently have 7 banks available:
 

  •  1. Traanz     Listen to 'Homewecker'          $21.95      4.2Mb

    Emulator X Original
    This bank has 128 presets of digital and analog emulations. It carries Analoguesque's tradition of emulating other synths using samplers, so you'll get the usual complement of phatt digital and analog sounds, with many geared towards trance enthusiasts. Not only trance musicians will use this bank - There's a host of sounds in here that can be used just about anywhere, especially given the 14 extra controllers available to tweak them live. If you're looking for some heavy bass and lead sounds, this is packed with them. It has pads thrown in because they are essential for trance, but the emphasis is definitely on bass and lead sounds.

     

  •  2. Analog Dreams     Listen to 'Homewecker'          $16.95      817Kb

    Converted from EOS
    This bank has 64
    +2 presets of phatt analog and digital 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 have been tweaked for Emulator X, so they take full advantage of assignable controllers while digging deep into Emulator X's superior processing power and filters. The waveforms in these banks are generated using our proprietary in-house software so the sounds created are very unique, and retain 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.

     

  •  3. Vintage Vortex     Listen to 'Homewecker'          $16.95      814Kb

    Converted from EOS
    Another 64
    +2 presets - The second installment of vintage emulations is an extension of the Analog Dreams genre, and here you will find even more impressive analog and digital presets - a perfect compliment to Analog Dreams. There is not much more to be said about these sounds other than what has already been described for Analog Dreams. You get more of the same phatt, pulsating sounds!

     

  •  4. Vintage Plastique     Listen to 'Homewecker'          $16.95     678Kb

    Converted from EOS
    This adds another dimension to the emulations with another 64
    +2 amazing vintage presets. This pumped the EOS operating system to the max, but has been tweaked even further to push Emulator X to it's limits! This is just more phatt analog and digital textures to play with!

     

  •  5. Vintage Synth 2001     Listen to 'Homewecker'           $16.95      4.2Mb

    Converted from SoundFont
    If you're into Dark Wave, Trance, Techno, Dance, Electronica, Synthpop, and other electronic music, Vintage Synth 2001 is a necessity for your collection! Growling, thumping, and pulsating basses. Screaming leads. Soaring pads. Gritty synths. They're all in here. If the words sweep, grunge, dirty, gritty, screaming, resonating, pounding, and stomping mean anything to you, then this is something you must have! The emphasis is on samples generated using proprietary, in-house software synths, and building instruments from small pieces into a huge crescendo of sound. You're looking at some very unique and highly evolving textures. In total, Vintage Synth 2001 has 128, phatt, mind-bending patches to sink your teeth into - A huge sonic palette to immerse yourself in!

     

  •  6. Digital Bliss     Listen to 'Homewecker'           $16.95       1.7Mb

    Converted from SoundFont
    Digital Bliss
    follows in the very ample footsteps of Vintage Synth 2001, but this time with an emphasis on vintage digital and hybrid synths rather than just analog. However, this is not to say that all the sounds are digital. It contains a full complement of 128 patches, concentrating on digital pads, leads, basses, and FX, but still with some analog patches thrown in for good measure because you can't get enough of those! Don't mistake digital to mean thin. This bank has enough low-end ballz to knock an elephant on its back! There is extreme playability, which brings a live feel to your music and allows playback just like old analog synths. There is no description for these sounds!

     

  •  7. Cheezoids     Listen to 'Homewecker'           $16.95          549Kb

    Converted from SoundFont
    This is the ultimate Digital emulation SoundFont® Bank, and follows a path from 1981 to 1984, when analog was dying and the dawn of cheap digital had arrived. Did you miss out on the pioneering years of synth music?  Did you miss out on Hi-NRG, Eurobeat, or Italo Disco? Do you remember Trans-X, Tapps, The Flirts, People Like Us, Lime, or Fancy? Do you remember Speak and Spell from Depeche Mode, Yazoo (Yaz), Blancmange, OMD, and Dare from The Human League? Well this is your chance to get to grips with the type of sounds they were using during those pioneering synth years. A solid 128 patches of the coolest retro digital sounds around, and all with the usual Analoguesque quality. This bank is predominantly Pads and Leads, but still with enough rocking bass thrown in to keep it mixed.

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. Note that the EOS and Soundfont demos are from the original formats, not Emulator X.
