Title link takes you to the overview on Sonic State. This is a good one, so don't miss it. via Sonic State in the comments of this post.

As a teaser:) I'm working (it's been 4 months now!) on an Eminent 310 emulation in NI Reaktor 5 with the help of Radek himself. No samples yet because I don't have a website (what a shame!)

But be sure to check NI Reaktor user's library for it. I did a ARP Solina emulation and this is sort the same league. I hope to finish it by the end of the year :-)"

Update: there's a funny moment at about 3 minute left in the video where JMJ realizes he needs to turn the keyboard on. He plays with the EMS Synthi and Putney towards the end of the video as well as with the Rolan dDJ70 which actually featured a scratch wheel.
