From message #1997:

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

Im not sure if they are still available in CDS3 format (probably not). If thats what you need, youll have to watch eBay or source them privately.

Thanks. what format is the Q Up disc 1 & 2 in?  CD?  3 1/2? 5 1/4?  If it' not 5 1/4 floppy, how do I hook it up to my E II +?  
I can't find the OMI universe of sound volume 3 anywhere in that long list of Northstar discs you sent. Is it there? Is there another link you can send that has it? Thanks.

I think they are sold in Sound Designer format (ie: Macintosh CD-Rom). You will need to contact Q-Up Arts for specifics.

You will need a legacy Macintosh computer with a CD-Rom drive, Sound Designer software (in the group file section), and a Mac to E-II interface cable.

That long list of disks *is* OMI Vol 3. It is sold in 5-1/4" floppy disk format. Again, contact Northstar for specifics.

i bought a mac classic just for his purpose.  where can i get the mac to emu connector cable?  
that WHOLE list is the volume 3 of universe of sounds? Egad.  No wonder that person wanted a free download. That'll cost a small fortune to buy all of that in floppy disc format.

Yeah, they sampled and programmed those 500+ disks themselves and still feel thats worth something. Just formatting 500 floppy disks on the E-II is worth quite a bit in time, materials, and machine wear IMO. 

Youd need to talk to them about pricing concerns. Id bet they wouldnt be opposed to offering a discount and/or delivery on alternative media if you want the entire collection.

These cables are required to connect the Emulator-II to a Macintosh computer and they allow use of the Sound Designer software located in the group file section.
