New Order – Blue Monday | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Moog Source & Emulator II | 80s Synthpop

video upload by RetroSound

"Real Vintage Synthesizer cover of “Blue Monday” by New Order, recreating the iconic sound and atmosphere of this fantastic electronic dance track. Released in 1983, “Blue Monday” became one of the most influential electronic 80s Synthpop tracks of its era. This cover pays tribute to its unmistakable sound using vintage synthesizer and sampling technology inspired by the original production.

For this cover, I used my vintage synthesizers and classic hardware to capture the spirit of the original recording, focusing on the distinctive sounds and textures that made this track timeless.

🎹 Vintage Gear & Sound Design:
Moog Source – Bass sounds and the additional synthesizer parts
E-mu Emulator II – Synth Strings, DMX Drums, Guitar parts and other fx sounds

The goal was to stay true to the original character of Blue Monday, using authentic vintage instruments and sampling technology to bring its unmistakable 80s sound back to life.

If you're into New Order, classic synthpop, vintage synthesizers, analog bass sounds, the Emulator II, and the electronic music production of the 1980s, this cover is for you.

🎧 Listen, enjoy, and let the vintage synth sounds take you back to the golden age of electronic music.

10.09.2026 EMU by Exclusively Analogue

video upload by batchas

"Short session on modular as pain therapy...
I prepared this short session a few days ago and recorded here today.
It is inspired by a Tangerine Dream track on "Mojave plan". It is far to be my favorite TD album, but it is perfect for a very short session.
Sorry for the bad video quality. The first video I do record with a refurbished iPhone 12 I got a few days ago. I'll have to check why the quality is so terrible compared to the old iPhone 8 I had."

The instruments used are the Yamaha DX7, Yamaha TX802, Roland Jupiter 6, and E-MU Pro/cussion."

Black hole destruction of a piano | Collision Devices Black Hole Symmetry

video upload by Lo-Fi-Si

"Collision Devices - Black Hole Symmetry
EMU Systems - Proformer 1

Massive fuzz at 02:00

First using the Modulated delay section which adds delay and flutter (tape effects). Within this section is the feedback knob which creates long trails that are then destroyed by the Fuzz knob later.

Second, adding in the pitch shifted reverb to add more depth and complexity to the feedback trails. This starts building the atmospheric ’space’ sounds.

Third, add in the destruction fuzz section. A massive screaming fuzz that creates layers of harmonics by distorting the feedback. No gain control. Just instant destruction.

No idea if this pedal is useful to me but blimey it’s terrifying. You can get it to howl and scream and I guess if a black hole sounded like anything, it could be this😀"

E-mu Emax II Rack: Why He Bought a Vintage Sampler

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The E-mu Emax II Rack is a 1990 vintage sampler with 16-bit sampling, digital resonant filters, 16 voices and that classic E-mu sample-library character.

In this video I explain why I bought an Emax II Rack, how it fits into the E-mu Emulator family, and what makes this 2MB version with a Gotek drive interesting today. I look at the history from the original Emulator through to the Emax II, load sounds from the Gotek/sample library, play through factory-style patches, explore the filter and envelope controls, and talk about why vintage samplers still feel different from modern software.

This is partly a first look, partly a vintage sampler demo, and partly the start of a new Emax II journey: building a usable sound library, tagging useful sounds, sampling my own material and finding out what this classic rack sampler can add to modern tracks.

E-MU Ultra Proteus is one of the most unique digital rack modules of the 90s, and Morphing Worlds was created to bring out exactly what makes it special: Z-Plane filter movement, evolving pads, drones, textures, sweeps and expressive digital sound design.

This video demos Morphing Worlds, a 128-preset soundset for E-MU Ultra Proteus, built for musicians, producers and hardware synth users who want more than static preset sounds.

The Ultra Proteus is known for its PCM-based engine, its internal waveform ROM and its powerful Z-Plane filter architecture. This soundset focuses on that character, with presets designed to move, morph and respond through Modulation Wheel and Aftertouch.
