Hi,

I wanted to come to this forum with a Question:
Does anyone still sell EII sounds?

The reason why I ask is I recently copied my entire EII library which included all 3 OMI Universe of sounds, the 100 original factory disks, FMS library, Burmer library and some homemade banks and samples. I now use the samples and banks in modern software based samplers. I've had a couple of inquires about people wanting EII banks and I was going to "give" them a copy of the samples but I did not want to do so if people are still selling them and making a living off selling them. Please let me know if this is the case and post any resources of people selling the EII banks in EII format.

Thanks,
Rod

I second this. Does anyone know who has the 3 OMI Universe of Sounds?

I believe the third OMI was Northstar banks which are - believe it or  
not - still sold through Northstar.

The first two were among others made by Douglas Morton who is still  
selling these samples/CDROMs in some form through his company Q-Up Arts.

I bought the two OMI CDROMs through him a couple of years ago. They  
are not available in SD2 format, but in CDS3 and .WAV format.

Please see archived message #1997 for the answers to your questions as well as the official policy concerning sample exchanges transacted through this group, thanks.

This type of offer/request is not permitted here. I know it is frustrating, but we do not have the necessary permissions to legally distribute any of the commercial sound libraries you are referencing.

Marketplace visibility, evidence of current support, and the amount of information available; all have no bearing on whether these libraries are still an enforceable copyright in someones portfolio.

E-mu Systems (and their sound libraries) are now holdings of Creative (creative.com), permission needs to come from their legal department. I dont know who holds FMS/K-Muse (sadly, Richard Burmer passed away in 2006 http://www.richardburmer.com/memorial.htm). 

The properties in question may still be considered financial assets and may have been passed on, acquired, or sold. If a company went bankrupt, rights may be currently held by some faceless banking institution...I just dont know. What I *do* know is; we dont have written permission to distribute them here and one complaint of copyright infringement to Yahoo is all it takes to shut this group down.

Im not a copyright attorney and I have no desire to become one. I dont possess the factual proof required to unequivocally state that someones intellectual property is now public domain. My (and the other moderators) only allegiance here is to ensure this groups continued existence, and that the creators of these libraries are just as respected and welcome here as everyone else.

As previously stated; 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.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

Hi,

It has been 3 years but I did talk to Doug Morton who created several banks on (i believe) at least Universe of sounds 1&2. He had talked about re-releasing some of the samples in other sampler formats. He lives only about 2 hours from me. I think I'll contact him and see what he says about the subject.

Thanks,
Rod

Interesting is if those sound banks will be re-edited in a most common format , a lot of people will manifest a real interest in using them more and making again very well-known the EII. But, what I 'm really dreaming about is a virtual plug ,, E-MU Emulator 2'' in same good -looking BLUE   ...just like Arturia did for theCS-80 monster .Can you imagine that ?

I contacted Douglas Morton from Quparts and they still sell the Universe of sounds CDs and will offer them in other formats. I knew that they still had the CDs that could be read only with a CDS3 drive but with esynthesist's EMXP program, those disks will soon be able ro be read and loaded from PC. Am I correct in this assumption?

Thanks Rod. I hope you extended him an invitation to join our group. Any idea if he would be agreeable to offering a discount on these two libraries to our members?

Im aware that Doug worked for Optical Media International before starting Q-Up Arts, but did you find out anything about OMIs demise and how Q-Up Arts inherited the distribution rights for the OMI content?

PS: Please watch your subject headers Rod. Only group moderators should be prefixing message titles with "MOD" which denotes administrative content, thanks.

Hi Hexafuzz,

Sorry for the Mod header. I must of replied to a moderator to get that in the subject line. I'll be more careful! I did forward your invitation to Douglas Morton. I'll be interested if he offers a discount to the group. There are a lot of new EII users looking for libraries. There are also former EII users that may still want the library if the sounds can be recreated to sound as good as the samples with the original hardware. There is a lot you can do with modern software samplers to make the sample sound good but I realize there is nothing like the original hardware with the samples that were created for that hardware. I'll forward his response.

Thanks,
Rod

Doug here from Q Up Arts. Over the years since OMI, I've been still using the vintage samples we did then. I have most of them in EXS, but ran across an app called Redmatica which will export into 4 platforms at once. I've also cleaned up some of the content.

Welcome Doug, great to have you aboard! As one of the few commercial libraries available for the Emulator-II, many of us are still using the vintage OMI samples as well. Your work and involvement with these libraries is well appreciated here. We have an OMI folder in our photo gallery, so please feel free to contribute any old pics/docs you might feel relevant.

Considering its now 2010, we would enjoy hearing any stories you might like to share concerning your days at OMI and the creation/marketing of the "Universe of Sounds" libraries. Were they developed specifically for the Emulator-II or were they designed open ended and ported where needed? Any recording specs you can remember concerning these samples? Whats the back story concerning Northstar Productions coming on board with (and later retaining) Volume 3? Any Emulator-II specific sampling/looping tips youd like to share? 

We understand that you still offer Volume 1 & 2 of these libraries for purchase through Q Up Arts. As many new members show up here just having purchased a second, third, or fourth hand Emulator-II with no disks/sounds included; we would appreciate it if you would please let the list know what Emulator-II compatible formats you have available and the current pricing to our members. Thanks!

PS: Looks like you encountered the same posting problem as Rod. Please double check your subject headers when replying to existing messages as only group moderators should be prefixing message titles with "MOD" which denotes administrative content, thanks.

Best,
Hexafuzz

Thanks! really nice to hear that. And I though I was the only guy still using the old sounds!

Are the first 2 OMI libraries sold in an EII or DPX1 ready format? I guess I'm thinking SD files or something that could be easily transferred to disks with EMXP or DPXTools. Key for me would be preserving the preset data, rather than just a bunch of raw audio files. (Excuse my ignorance but I have, to this point, only worked with floppies and am a little hazy on how this works.)

But, what I 'm really dreaming about is a virtual plug ,, E-MU Emulator 2'' in same good -looking BLUE   ...just like Arturia did for theCS-80 monster .Can you imagine that ?

He had talked about re-releasing some of the samples in other sampler formats. He lives only about 2 hours from me. I think I'll contact him and see what he says about the subject.

If a company went bankrupt, rights may be currently held by some faceless banking institution. ..I just dont know. What I *do* know is; we dont have written permission to distribute them here and one complaint of copyright infringement to Yahoo is all it takes to shut this group down.

I have successfully "translated" several EII banks to DPX-1 format via DPX tools (praise E-Synthesist ;)) 
They are exact clones of the EII banks.

So the only libraries currently available for sale are

1) OMI 1 and 2 from Doug
2) The Northstar floppies at http://www.northstarsamples.com/EIIFloppies.html

Is that right?

Correct, and we are still waiting for Doug to specify/confirm what E-II compatible formats he has available and their pricing to our members.

If anyone is looking for classic EII sounds in a more modern format, I share your pain. There isn’t much out there to be perfectly honest. However, last year I contacted Digital Sound Factory, a company born out of the old E-MU and with a working partnership with E-MU’s new owners, Creative.

They produce many libraries in many of today’s current formats, including E-MU’s own EmulatorX. I asked them if, via their long and illustrious history, they had got any original EII material and their reply was that they had every factory library and then some! Answering my question about whether they intended to do anything with it, the answer was a definite yes, but not at this current time L
