Emu turn back the clock with the Vintage Pro

Veteran synth producers Emu Systems have announced the forthcoming 
release of a new sound module, the Vintage Pro. With a 32MB soundset 
sampled from original keyboards from the '60s, '70s and '80s, the 
Vintage Pro features a range of analogue and digital synthesizers 
and suitcase pianos together with a selection of samples from Emu's 
B3 organ module. 

The 1U unit's faceplate follows the styling of other Emu modules, 
with a two-line LCD display and four knobs for real-time control of 
12 parameters. The module also features 128-voice polyphony, six 
analogue outputs, a digital output and three slots for Proteus 
expansion ROMs. The Vintage Pro will be available in the new year, 
costing £589.

Not that impressed, actually. 
The EPianos are disappointing, so far. IMHO of course. 
Maybe there will be more demoes though.

I downloaded the manual: the Instruments list looks a lot like the 
1994 Vintage (SR-JV80-04) expansion board for Roland JV/XP/XV synths,
except it has drums (the Roland does not) and -it seems- no Yamaha CS-80
waves (the Roland does and it's good). Doh.

But do we need 808/909 kits AGAIN on an expansion board, seriously?
What about Linndrums, Oberheim DMX, Forat 9000, Roland CR-78, or even
E-MU's own Drumulator kits? Hope the sounds are in the noname kits...

> I will get that ROM when it is available.

Oh well... Maybe I'll get it anyway. 
Empty slots sucks. :)

Yeah, I'm kinda on the same page.  Cool looking rack module, nice retro 
vibe and all.  But do we REALLY need more emulations of old analog gear? I 
swear you'd think by now there'd be samples of everything ever released 
already done.  :)  Blasphemy I know.

I wish someone would come out with a ROM that focused on sound effects, 
noises or weird textures.  Just some plain crazy stuff that's DIFFERENT 
for a change, and isn't aimed at a particular genre.  That new Atmosphere 
plug in/sample pack is getting pretty close, but still not there.  I'd 
love to get my hands on some fucked up, twisted sound as a ROM.  Something 
that people will look at and go "whoa, that new Emu module is pretty cool, 
so different!".  No more emulations which don't cut it anyway!

I know what everyone is saying but i still see the old Emu Vintage modules go for silly money on ebay so perhaps there is a market for those sounds.

If Emu would release some of those Ensoniq twisted effects or the Fizmo in some form it would be cool.

I didn't mean to imply that they shouldn't sample all analog synths, just 
the classics which have been covered time and again.  Sorry for the 
confusion.

rEalm




  you are not right with the analog stuff.. there is quite new out 
there...
  okay.. emu is gonna sampling old stuff.. but with the jomox sunsyn you 
can
  create the fattest soundz .

Well, E-mu don't produce emulations of old analogue gear, they produce
sample-playback synthesisers with passable modulation architectures
which can sort-of fake analogue control. I'm all for more realistic
emulations of analogue-style modulation architectures, but I'm afraid
I'm rather up-to-here (^) with E-mu single-rack sample-playing boxes,
having lost count some time ago. Sorry.
