emulatorII-list

So, now that my EII is alive, I can start to worry about getting 
sounds 
for it.  Mine came with only 10 disks. =(

I already bought a Mac Classic on Ebay which should be arriving in 
the 
next week or so. I want to try to tackle SoundDesigner next.  What's 
the situation in here with sound trading... Is anyone willing to 
share 
sounds in SD format? I'd be willing to pay a little something if 
necessary. I'm particularly interested in those OMI disks... does 
anyone have those in SD format and is willing to share? 

Another thing: In the Genesis video that someone posted, which shows 
Tony Banks and his EII, he's playing a Mellotronish' string/choir 
sound, which I've heard in so many recordings throughout the 80s. Was 
that a factory sound? Does anyone have that one? 

Also, I really would love to get the choir sound used in 
Depeche's "Enjoy the Silence". Supposedly that was an EMU factory 
sound. Does anyone have that one by any chance? That would be 
awesome...

Thanks in advance. BTW, if anyone needs a PDF copy of the service 
manual, I'll share. Just let me know. 

George

I would like the manual. I have an EII in need of service.

If you have the disk: Timpani, Gong Voice it would be great to know because the guy I know here who has it can't let it go out to anyone for risking of losing it forever.  It is a collectors item.  If you have the disk then Dave could sample the note (F2) that I want and send me a wav. file.

Thanks, 

Bruce

Hello all,

I have a music project that requires using an Emulator II so that I can use the 5 1/2' floppy "Timpani, Gong, Voice" disk I have access to in Seattle, WA.  I can't send the disk to anyone so if you have that original Emulator II library disk the actual sound I need is the Voice sound.  If you have that disk and can make an extended 20 second sample of the "Voice" sound at (F2) on your keyboard in a digital format and put it in a wav file for me or let me know if you have an Emulator II and you live in or near the Seattle, WA area I would greatly appreciate it.  


Thanks,  

Bruce Jones

"Trading", "Sharing", and "Willing to pay if necessary", are all
different methods of acquisition and you are not being clear or
consistent in your terminology. That said, the official position on
this list is as follows:

Using the group to locate fellow members for private trades and
discussing your trade details off-list is acceptable. However, using
the group as a means to illegally acquire or distribute copyrighted
materials is strictly off-limits and subject to membership termination.

OMI Universe of Sounds Library Vol 1 & 2 are still available
commercially from Q-Up Arts. See pricing and ordering information
here: http://www.quparts.com/pricelist.pdf

OMI Universe of Sounds Library Vol 3 is still available commercially
in floppy disk format from Northstar:
http://www.northstarsamples.com/EIIFloppies.html

We are the largest Emulator-II user group on the net. If we are the
folks who value this machine the most, then plain and simple, we
should be supporting the few vendors left who continue to offer
commercial products and support for this machine.

If anyone here is successful in securing written permission from the
current copyright holders concerning legal distribution, the
moderators will discuss changing this policy for any affected
commercial libraries. Until then, the "Private Trading Only" policy
stands.

PS: This also goes for any other commercial libraries (E-mu, FMS,
K-Muse etc); until we have specific written permission allowing legal
distribution, this policy affects them too.

Thanks,
hexafuzz

I am new to this group, is there a master list of vendors who still  sell 
Emulator II disks?

AFAIK just Northstar:
http://www.northstarsamples.com/EIIFloppies.html

If you are referring to the Performance disk 14 disk 
(Gong/Tympani/Voice) of the Emu library: I have this disk.

But I will have to check if an F2 sample of the "low voice" sound on 
this disk is possible, if you want the F2 based on the sample 
assignment used in the (only) preset of this disk. FYI the "low 
voice" part is at the two last octaves of the keyboard, so probably 
the pitch-shift limits of the EII will not allow to lower the pitch 
to F2.
But if any F (like F4) is OK, I can make a 20 sec WAV of that one.
But I can also send the WAV corresponding to the original sample at 
original pitch. This can simply be done with EMXP so that additional 
noise coming from the output of the EII can be avoided. Of course you 
would have to loop & pitch shift this WAV in some software editor to 
get a 20 sec F2 sample.
You can e-mail me for more info.

Thanks for your response.  I have a pro tools digi 002 setup, an emax & a Korg Triton extreme Keyboard (which is a sampling keyboard).  I'm not much of a techie but it would be wonderful if you could send the WAV corresponding to the original sample.  If I can somehow load that onto my Triton extreme or Pro Tools then I could try to figure out how to get the right pitch. The other option is to have you make me a 5.25" copy of your original disk and send me that copy.  

Someone in Seattle responded to my request who has an Emulator II and seemed willing to help me out. I'll have to see if he also has that disk.  The disk that I have access to up here in Seattle may cost me more than getting a copy from you because he has it in storage and it is his only copy.  If the WAV option of original pitch was the cleanest way to do this I would actually prefer that because of avoiding noise coming from the output.  Let me know what you would charge for either option and if you have any tech insights now that you know what gear I have.


Thanks,

Bruce

Maybe I wasnt clear in post #1997 just a few days ago...?

Please take the details of your private trades off-list guys.

Thanks,

Of course I'm not charging anything so that wouldn't be trading :-) I'm 
just trying to help someone who is looking for a specific WAV file.
But you're right, I should have sent an e-mail instead of posting here !
