Hi
The Emulator I sample library includes a wide range of samples taken via
Sony PCM F1, including the Optigan/Orchestron. Probaby some of the Orch
samples. E-mu Systems people, often recorded local sound sources and
instruments people had. About 200 sample diskettes were made. The Emulator
is so hard to use that very few users could get a professional sample bank,
and E-mu Systems had some cool UNIX computers to help them get good samples.
The Ochestron was launched in 1975 and the orchestral sounds were quite an
easy way to get "orch" samples...
 
The Emulator II library was recorded on a more professional basis with
recording studio sessions, especially for the orchestral samples. Some
Emulator samples made it into the EII library (loon garden), but I doubt any
old Orchestron samples made the grade. This was a new and expensive libraray
- eg Arco Strings.
 
The Blue Monday EII samples are E-mu Systems factory samples, there is no
evidence of Kraftwerk using EII's and passing samples around in Europe to
other bands.
They did use  Ochestrons in 1975
