It's crazy how deeply the 80s are embedded in me. The sound of the 80`s was so so groundbreaking, like nothing before. When you start the first note on a Emu or an DX7, goosebumps.....and it brings back so many many unforgettable moments. I miss the 80`s so so much, and there will be no time be like the 80`s again.
The EII has an excellent character. Sound libraries have their merit, but the analogue/digital (also the DAC) converters make it unique. Loving specially 1:46 :)
Great to see that Emulator out and what a work horse it is. It’s like a little studio to itself. You can see when that came out in 1984 I think? Why bands used it and why it was popular so much. What could do all that in 1984 ? Yeah the fairlight,etc, but they was not so easy to move about. Love the Emulator and it’s all because of this machine we have a fantastic history of good songs and people who took music to another level. Anyway about you my friend. Fantastic playing there and showing us your famous machine. Love this channel and just love what you do. Can’t wait to see more.
@@philippezsiga1125 I tested it personally on emax. It's literally tge same sounds on the same notes. It's possible that the bank on the Emulator II was sampled though.
Pretty sure those FGTH songs were Fairlight or PPG 2.3 when it came to the digital stuff and JP8 for the analog bits. Never seen any mention of an Emulator? The song "Relax" came out in 83, the Emu-II in 84.
Great video that brings back happy memories, especially the PSB's. Still think those sounds are so classy. I own a Emu Proteus FX and after hearing this am glad I haven't sold it.
It's always a real pleasure to see you at work with your timeless synthesizers! Excellent performance as usual and the video shots are just as successful !!! :)
Crockett's Theme: Some say it was made by a layer of Fairlight's "Sarrar" + a DX7's "HARP 2". To be verified (I did recreate myself this patch with the said elements, plus the obvious rev' and delays, and it's quite convincing)
@@bontempo1271 Something simple but I would say it's according to your taste 🙂, something to glue the 2 elements together (the HARP 2 preset is percussive and Sarrar is softer) and give some space around the ensemble. To be precise I should check to my patch but I'm out of the studio for the next 12 hours and don't have access to my DAW for now.
Crazy ain't it? Less is more I guess. Honestly, I've actually started back recording with my old equipment lately. It seems to bring more out of me 'cause I gotta work a little harder to get on disc what I'm hearing in my head. The best recordings I've ever done were on a 4 track tape recorder with a dual cassette deck and an old 6 channel mixing board with a spring reverb and some stompboxes. All gone forever now because of tape degradation over the course of 20 years. I've really missed the old days. And yes I've used a bathroom for reverb on vocals lol. I'm using a korg 16 track and a mixing board and just a few older fx rack mount units now. The newest piece of equipment I'm using is a korg wavestate. The creativity is coming back using my older stuff.would LOVE to have this piece in my little studio.
E2 the machine that launched New Wave. I was always amazed at the tricks people had to get around some of the limits, and how creative sampling quickly became once the technology was semi-affordable.
I'm curious about something. May I ask where you got the crystal you used to go back in time to buy a fresh, clean, shiny, brand new, unscratched, hot of the assembly line Emulator 2? I also want to get a time travel crystal so I can go back to 1992 and pick up a couple brand new Roland MC50 mk 2's.
I keep repeating it, but one of the main reasons the Emulators were in such high regard isn't just their technical achievements, it's also their excellent and vast sound libraries (and took quite a lot sounds from other synths and samplers, your last piece shows that, playing it with the EII, but if I remember the interviews, Jan Hammer used a DX7 and his Fairlight for that 😉)
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but wasn't 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood' stuff done on the NED Synclavier? at least I thought it was, some of those sounds are most certainly from it, unless they were resampled into the Emulator II, any insights?
Hello, my name is Thomas Lynch and I have an Emulator II+. I just lost all my 5.25" floppy disks library (about 200 disks) of Optical Media International Universe of Sounds from Vol 1, 2, & 3. Do you have any these 5.25" floppy's for sale? Or, do you know of anyone who does? Also, I see what looks like a hard drive installed in some EMU II's. What's up with that? Can I install a hard drive already loaded with a library in my EMU II+. If so, then do you know where or how I can purchase one? Thank you in advance for your efforts.
I do enjoy your videos and great to see the EII in action, but neither Relax or Two Tribes has EII on them. Relax was mostly Fairlight II and Jupiter-8.

Agree with you. Timeless classic sound. The soundtrack of our life.
They really made just a few kilobytes go a long way.
yes :)
Much unlike modern computing 🤦♂️ thank bilge gates

Here we are :) The king of sampler.
Thank you Michael :)))
Arco strings is also used in almost all the songs in Disintegration by the cure
Yes 🎹👍
Don t think ,
They used the Ensoniq mirage for sampled strings layered sometimes with the Arp Solina
@@philippezsiga1125 I tested it personally on emax. It's literally tge same sounds on the same notes. It's possible that the bank on the Emulator II was sampled though.
All of them all just pure happiness. Thank you so much. Pet shop boys, Depeche mode, maiami wice theme 🎉
Thank you for watching my friend 🎹🙌✌️

Please enjoy the video.
You played all my favourites! Fantastic - I loved it! The Emulator never gets old, in spite of the advances in technology.
Thank you so much 🎹
A true 80s icon

True Americana synth. Love to get my hands on one.
Thank you for watching

This machine is the power...

Great video, I just love the unique Emulator sounds and samples!!! 80s please!
Thank you so much

What are the obvious rev and delays in this case ?

@@FLH3official oh hey no problem :)
I've heard for years that the lead sound was a DX7.
Great video 🎶
Thank you
@@retrosound72 🤝
Absolutely took me back to my Faves! Brilliant!
Thank you 🎹🙌
Why does 12 bits sound SO good??!

Good job, always watch your videos.
Thank you so much 🙌
One of the synths I wish I hadn't sold to finance upgrades.
I can understand
A plus wow.
:))
Amazing old sounds
Thank you
"We would never being boring" when listening your channel.
🙌😅thank you
Where's the love button for this video
🎹🙌
Love those early PSB tracks & DM ❤
Thank you 🙌
Nice!
🙌
Sounds great. It's a pleasure ...🙏
Thank you for watching 🎹🙌
Wow, love it
👍🎹
Perhaps my fav instrument! I use two of them. PPG Wave 2.2 is right there with it, tho...
Yes wonderful source of sounds
Nice work Marko, great to hear. :)
Thank you so much. 🎹
Greetings🙌
Marcato Strings need a come back.
🎹👍
Nice

E2 the machine that launched New Wave. I was always amazed at the tricks people had to get around some of the limits, and how creative sampling quickly became once the technology was semi-affordable.
New wave was already launched at the time of E1….
Check New Order for instance
@@philippezsiga1125 absolutely, awesome stuff. But the E2 was more available and approachable and I think had much more impact.
Agreed. Thank you.
Great 😍 I'm a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys Sound, where I can find the sound's you played ?🤩 btw: I've all from Arturia and the most of UVI ☺
Thank you for watching.
The PSB strings are the Marcato Strings.
I'm curious about something. May I ask where you got the crystal you used to go back in time to buy a fresh, clean, shiny, brand new, unscratched, hot of the assembly line Emulator 2?

Since many years in my collection. Buy private.
Great job, дорогой друг!

Trevor Horn had all. PPG System , Fairlight, Synclavier, EII....
@@retrosound72 ahhhh ok, I didnt know that, thanks for the correction :)
@@paradoxstate5018 he didn't have an EII when Relax was made, though. It didn't come out until a year later.
Das klingt ja richtig Hammer...muss mich ja auch mal wieder melden...LG...mein Freund!
Das freut mich sehr. Ich danke dir. 🙌 Liebe Grüße 🍀
Have you put the SD conversion kit into yours?
yes . :)
Hello, my name is Thomas Lynch and I have an Emulator II+. I just lost all my 5.25" floppy disks library (about 200 disks) of Optical Media International Universe of Sounds from Vol 1, 2, & 3. Do you have any these 5.25" floppy's for sale? Or, do you know of anyone who does? Also, I see what looks like a hard drive installed in some EMU II's. What's up with that? Can I install a hard drive already loaded with a library in my EMU II+. If so, then do you know where or how I can purchase one? Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Sometimes can you find floppy library's on eBay. Or you install a floppy drive emulator. You can find a view info pages in the web.
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I used to see EMU II 5.25" floppy's for sale on EBay, but not anymore. I guess I'll keep on looking. Thanks anyway!
Kings Cross! PSB, eh super :)
Hi. Lange gesehen. ✌️
You missed probably by the most known sound from the emulator: the shakuhachi! 😁😁😁
You can find the sound in the other EII demo vids made by me
Hi marko..
Non vid related question..
What synths do you use for your intro logo sound?
Hi. Please look ua-cam.com/users/shortsKOye3YZeoco?feature=share
@@retrosound72 cool...thanks
Just a few from the 80's...Thought Yan used a Dx7 for Crockets Theme?
And Fairlight. And EII
Qué buen teclado!!!! Una leyenda!!
:)))
I see 9ne in the store 8ts like $4k. No way.
a bit expensive
@@retrosound72 yes. I am happy to have the Emax1. 👍
Didn't Jan Hammer use a Fairlight CMI on Crockett's Theme?
Yes. And the EII
Опишу это одной цитатой: "Над землей - мороз, что не тронь - все лед, лишь во сне моем поет капель." (С)... В. Цой.

Спасибо за приятную ассоциацию.
@@retrosound72 На мой взгляд и слух, это является очень кстати к сегодняшним реалиям.
😮🎉🤩🙏🔥
🙌
A última música é um clássico inconfundível!!
Thank you
Both FGTH songs were PPG.
I do enjoy your videos and great to see the EII in action, but neither Relax or Two Tribes has EII on them. Relax was mostly Fairlight II and Jupiter-8.
No I play here a EII.
@@retrosound72 Yes, and and he stated (correctly) neither of the FGTH songs features the EII
