EMS String Machine Samples

via Norman Fay on AH:
"A sample set for Native Instruments "Kontakt 2".

Before I sold my Synthi AKS a couple of years ago, I sampled a bunch of the instrument's raw waveforms to use in my sampler. I didn't bother with any of the stock EMS sounds, as I can easily make them with my modular. I was/am kind of aiming for a virtual polysynthi-type effect.

This is a '70's string ensemble type sound, there are 2 maps used, one is VCO1 sawtooth and VCO2 sawtooth together, one is modulated by VCO 3 triengle at low frequency, the other by the transient generator in looping mode. It covers a good width of keys, and is sampled at either fourths or minor thirds, I forget. The other map is a straight sawtooth. Layered together they sound quite rich, with plenty of movement, but not overpoweringly fat.



10.2 Mb, .rar compressed.

It's a NI Kontakt 2 format set, but the folder has all of the samples in looped .wav format, so they should be importable into any sampler that can deal w/that. Obviously the single VCO sawtooth map could be useful for all kinds of sounds.

Samples were made by me, programming done by me, it's all my work. You can do whatever you want with them, share all you like, but please don't claim that you made them, or sell them on.
