1986 SCI Prophet 2000 Sampler Fully Loaded Expanded 512k Version

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"1986 SCI Prophet 2000 sampler fully loaded expanded 512k version. In good condition for age a few dents and scratches here and there but fully functional and sounding great. It's not the original floppy drive but it is fully working and comes with 35 sound disks to get you up and running. These are extremely underrated bits of kit, being a Sequential product it has that important Sequential trademark sound and features a very cool programmable arpegiator. I've also used it with a HxC floppy emulator which is great if your using it live (which I have been) as it saves lugging loads of floppies about, The HxC floppy emulator is for sale in my other auction but is attached to an Ensoniq Mirage."

Fully Upgraded E-mu EII+ Vintage Sampler - HxC, OLED, PSU, Decals, LEDS, Sliders Etc

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Pics of the inside below.

"The EII+ is fully functional with the following NEW items installed: PSU, Decals, OLED display/HEX update, rotary encoders, sliders - including new resistors, HxC drive emulator with libraries/software, buttons and LEDs.

I'm sure I am forgetting a thing or two. Again, all of the parts are new. I have also installed a 'contrast' encoder to adjust the display viewing angle.

The unit functions silently and flawlessly. Both memory banks load up and sound great. The keybed was stripped down and cleaned meticulously.

This project was done right, and started out with a functioning machine, not a basket case.

Due to the new PSU, the original 5.25 drive is not powered, and has been left in place for looks only. All of the outputs are clean, and this machine sounds like nothing else."

YAMAHA VL-1 Physical Modeling Synthesizer SN KIO1125 w/ HxC Floppy Drive Emulator

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Unique-sounding and fairly unique-looking: the most thorough-going of the modelling synths of the early 90s. This, with thoughtful programming, can make a vast range of acoustic and electronic sounds. The quality and depth is astonishing.
Some of the factory programs are wonderful as they are - musical and expressive - but modifying them to your taste is quite do-able. Starting from scratch on a sound and many increadinle new sounds appeared!
Duophonic, bi-timbral, but somehow seeming more than that - very powerful. This has had the frequently problematic disk drive replaced with an HxC emulator - not a trivial task, as it happens. Cosmetically, the VL1 is in cery good cosmetics and workibg conditions
Truly a pleasure to play for musicien Who love expressive, and sound design !
Huge banks of sounds , do ready to play as well."

Emu Emulator II with HxC

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This synth is in good working condition and decent cosmetic condition and has lived in my smoke/pet free house. It has an HxC SD floppy emulator installed (a must-have EII upgrade) so you don't have to worry about using 5.25" floppies for sounds. Included is a 16GB SD card that already has 3.5GB of samples loaded on it(which is a lot) and I can provide you with many more. The samples currently on the card are a good mix of instruments(Moog, orchestral, brass, piano, etc.) and some great sound FX."

DYNACORD ADS Sample Library

This one in via swissdoc

"On Sequencer.de we started an initiative to preserve the DYNACORD ADS Sample Library by reading a bunch of old floppy disks and converting data in HFE format to be used by HxC floppy emulator. It is quite a decent coverage of the library as availble in 1989, but not complete.

Samples can be used in any sampler by manual conversion. Please see the readme.txt [below] for a bit more info.

Here you will find the data"

Image via gearslutz.

P.S. Apparently this is the first ADS featuring on the site. There were a few verstions of the ADD posted here.

Readme.txt:

IMG files can be written to real floppy disks with Omniflop, which supports the ADS data structure.
HFE files are to be used with the HxC floppy emulator.

For users of softsamplers etc.: IMG files can be imported into Audacity in RAW Mode 16-Bit (use Big Endian format), sample data can then be used manually

Some disks had read errors, they are marked with err in the filename.
Some disks had been marked "wrong disk", so they may not load properly as part of a pair.

E-MU Systems Emulator II+ w/ HxC Floppy Emulator & 260 Floppy Disks SN 2707

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Legendary vintage 8 voice 12bit sampler with analog filters

Included extras/upgrades :

- HxC floppy Emulator installed + loaded SD card
- Original top row second floppy driver still included and working, as possible spare.
- About 260 floppy disks, essentially containing banks (mostly user made or copied, so some are sounding professional right off the bat, others perfectible, others in progress etc.) + a few blanks, filed by category with interlayers labelled in french, in 3 dedicated plastic drawers.
- Original cool english user manual in superb condition, all pages and tabs very crisp, still with the unreturned warranty card.
- brand new uninstalled backlit LCD (never got around to having it done by a technician), not pictured

In very clean cosmetic condition, only a few superficial marks here and there as displayed in the pictures.

I could be the second owner as I purchased it locally about 5 years ago through an intermediary from an older musician that had used it in his studio in the 80's for commercial work (as a few of the included floppies might attest) and then had kept it unused."

via this auction

"Presenting a very excellent condition Emu Emulator II. Amazing vintage sampler featuring those wonderful analog filters. Dream machine.

Functionality: The unit is completely functioning. Every key, slider, and feature works as intended. Have not had any issues with it, I have not used the interface port since I don't have a compatible computer or cable, only audio and MIDI have been tested and used. Occasionally the square buttons require two presses, this is due to dust build up behind the buttons. Can be easily cleaned if needed or it bothers you..."

EMU Emulator II

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Emulator II is essentially an analog synth that uses sampled waveforms instead of 'oscillators' everything after the sample is similar to an analog synth.. you get resonant SSM filters per voice with lfo, env's and analog VCAs. the end result is that you can take any short sample and craft it into a gorgeous pad or whatever you like, with the ability to tweak parameters with the faders pretty much like on a normal synth.

You can also just use it like a regular sampler and take advantage of the great stock library. Forget about numbers, sample rates, bits and whatever; the magic here is that anything you sample into it will sound better and more musically useful than what you started with, it does for instrument type sounds what an SP1200 does for drums.

Comes with a OLED equipped gotek with an encoder for finding sounds.. (which is much easier than using Hxc's buttons.) and tons of sounds including the stock library of course.. northstar sounds, and more disk images than you can probably ever get through. You can still use floppies too if you are into that kinda thing.

These are big and very heavy machines.. build to an incredibly high standard inside..but there is one problem with shipping them.. the outer case flexes a bit and can easily damage the keys.. my top and bottom keys snapped when it arrived to me originally. I repaired the bottom, but the top is essentially just a cosmetic key since replacements are nearly impossible to find. I never really play in the top octave but its worth mentioning. For this reason I would likely remove the top and bottom keys before shipping and would recommend anyone shipping or receiving one to do the same."

MFB Dominion 1 - First Improv

Published on Dec 1, 2015 Jyoti Mishra

"I got my D1 today and couldn't resist filming a little improv with it. The patch is lovely and wobbly as there are three LFOs modulating the three VCOs at slightly different rates. I've only been playing with it for a couple of hours but I think this synth is a future classic. Hours of paraphonic phun!

This is straight audio from the Dominion 1, no effects, raw synth.

(Btw, the Xes on my hands are because I'm straight edge and they're leftover from this weekends hxc shenanigans.)"

The EII is (IMO) the king of emus, everything is subjective but it has a fatness that I prefer over all other EMU samplers...and I've had them all!! This works as should, all keys trigger floppy works, has HxC loaded with about every EMU disk available!"

Cosmetically it is in decent condition; some wear marks or chipping on some of the edges, there are no major scratches or blemishes.

Extra info:

External SCSI hard drives apparently need to be formatted @ fat16 (win98) in order to work with this machine. Skip HD's & floppies with HxC SD floppy drive replacements!"

Emu Emulator II digital / analog sampling synthesizer & SD Upgrade Kit

via this auction
"This is a stellar sampler, adding a lot of punch and color to samples in contrast to modern digital hardware/software due to its lower sample rate, unusual signal processing and SSM analog filters. The Emulator II is one of the most iconic samplers ever, possibly the best-known sampling keyboard and has been featured on countless hit records.

This auction also includes a second 5.25" DS/DD disk drive, bringing the total number of disk drives to 3. Disks for booting into OS 3.1 are included as are a bunch of new-old-stock DS/DD 3.5" floppies so you can start sampling as soon as it arrives! I formatted and tested a couple disks today (Feb 13th) and they work perfectly. Also included are a folder of old 5.25" sound floppies that would require updating to use when the Emulator is booted into OS 3.1; to do so, you need one of the 5.25" drives installed into the drive 2/bottom slot.

THIS AUCTION INCLUDES THE BRAND NEW HxC SD CARD FLOPPY DRIVE EMULATOR! The winning bidder will also receive the SD Card Floppy Drive Emulator (Rev C)- I ordered one a few days ago from Europe; when it arrives, it will be forwarded to the winning bidder. Ultimately, this technology should mean the Emulator II will no longer depend on obsolete disk drives and media. The SD Card Floppy Emulator is extremely new technology for the Emu Emulators- in fact, write support for the Emulator II was announced less than a month ago. As emerging technology, there are a few requirements- for instance, you will need additional hardware to image old floppies and the SD Card Floppy Drive Emulator's software requires Windows XP or later to run. Read up on it & see the relevant video links here"
