Arturia Emulator II V vs Original

video by Sense Music & Media

"A while ago french company Arturia released its software emulation of the famous Emulator II Sampler by E-mu Systems, an iconic piece of hardware which has left a big mark in music history.

The Emulator II was very popular in the 1980s and heavily used by the likes of Front 242, Depeche Mode, 808 State, New Order, ABC, Genesis, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Herbie Hancock, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Yes, OMD and many many more. Its famous ‘The Loon Garden’ preset for example was used in classic club tracks like Sueno Latino and 808 State’s Pacific State.

Our friend, Dresden based artist, Jacob Korn who is a proud owner of the Original Emulator II wanted to know if Arturias’s Software emulation can compete with the famous 8 Bit sound of the original, so he did this little comparison for us.
Put your headphones on, take a listen and decide for yourself how close the software comes to the original."

video by Sense Music & Media

"In this video, our in-house reviewer, Martin Stimming reviews Vermona's MKIV version of their classic DRM1 analog drum synthesizer. 25 years on the market the DRM-1 is one of the longest running electronic music instruments.

Stimming puts this new version of an electronic music production staple through it's paces. Let’s see what his conclusion is..."

New Woody Piano Shack #Shorts

A few new short clips by supporting member, Woody Piano Shack.

Playlist:

1. Don't You Want Me, seriously!? #Shorts​

Demo of an 80s synth pop style on the YAMAHA PSR SX900 arranger keyboard which is a blatant copy of Human League Don't You Want Me Baby! Never managed to figure out the chords to the bridge during the heat of the moment, but it just adds to the cringe.

2. Michael Jackson song on arranger keyboard #Shorts​

Demo of a pop/country don't-know-what style on the YAMAHA PSR SX900 arranger keyboard using some random Jackson 5 song.

3. The Glorious 80s Ballad DX7 ELECTRIC PIANO #Shorts​

Demo of the fabulous E.PIANO electric piano preset patch of the 1983 YAMAHA DX7 digital synthesizer, as heard on literally hundreds of hits of the 1980s. Performed on a modern YAMAHA MODX synth using the intro of "Somewhere Out There" by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram.

4. You dig this Euro-disco synth beat? #Shorts​

This drum pattern and arpeggio reminded me of Voyage Voyage by Desireless, or Captain of her heart so I played and enjoyed some kind of mashup chord progression. I love this preset sound!

If the original Indigo was a Virtual-Analog Roadster, this baby is a stunning Silver Speedster. The new Virus indigo-2 offers everything you need to produce high-octane sonic masterpieces in a compact package that's built for comfort and speed. The original limited edition Indigo revamped an entire industry's concept of supply and demand.

Now, equipped with a new front-panel and the engine of the Virus C, the indigo-2 is ready to do it again. Only this time, it's got a souped-up transmission: a 3-octave keyboard with aftertouch!"
