I always think of Alan wilder when I see an emulator
YEP! Alan is #1 for me. Have you seen the Part 1 of this video? It features Alan playing it for over 2 minutes in various performances. Thank you for watching!
OMD had 3… used 2 on stage!
@@CreatingJason oh yes...sure did
I always remember seeing the Emulator II on that Simple Minds video. Wishing it was mine.😂
You and every other keyboardist.
It was the keyboard of my dreams when I was a teen. Eventually I got two Ell+, and then sold one. Now I have an Emulator 1, 2+, and three Emax1 among various other things.
Wow. That's awesome. I've never seen an E1 in person. Nice collection of EMUs. Thank you for watching and commenting!
3:22 LEVEL 42 😮😮😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I actually used to not like Genesis but ever since I heard Domino in this video (and more of their stuff) I completely fell in love with sound and music! Especially Domino!!
You can had Tears for Fears : their keyboardist was a huge fan of E-mu Systems ( he used the drumulator with Rock Kit from Digidesign for the Snare on Shout) and the breathy legendary sound of “” Shout “” is NOT the Sarrar from the Fairlight as most people make the mistake but a preset from the Emulator II ( confirmed by TFF ) and EII was on stage for the SHOUT tour . TFF started using the Fairlight series III for seeds of love song and album .
I have all Emulator: from one to E4 platinum. And the Emulator II is the most important keyboard of the 80s with the DX7
The fairlight is so overrrated : mainly always the 2 same sounds were used ( Sarrar and the orchstab) while so many presets of the EII can be heard EVERYWHERE. And EII had the first library on cd rom ( the legendary OMI banks heard on countless hits ) i think the EII library is the most famous library in music history for having been ised on hundreds of hits.
The ten synthesizers I'd have in my studio: a Yamaha DX-7, a Roland Jupiter 8, an E-MU Emulator II, a Fairlight CMI, a Roland D-50, a Roland Juno-60, a Korg M1, a Roland Juno-106, an Oberheim OB-Xa, and a Casio CV-101 🎹
With a DX7 (especially II-FD) and a D-50, the M1 would be a third wheel for me. I get it though. For the analogs, you have some solid choices but 2 Junos and a Jupiter might be redundant for me. From your list, I currently have the DX7, DX7 II-FD, D-50 and Emulator II+. The only things I'd trade out on your list would probably be the Fairlight for the Synclavier II (for the workflow and glorious warmth), Juno 60 for a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 or Pro One, and the CZ101 for the CZ1000. Everybody has their own tastes though and that's why so many great synths have been made and used on many great songs. Thanks for watching!
@@CreatingJason Thank *you* for the video and recommendations!
if theres a keyboard which deserves a remake, after the CS80, for me it would be the Emulator II!!
Behringer entered the chat...
@@jimbotron70hahah! 👍🏻
The EMU2 did not have a "sound" but it definitely defined music.
Before commenting things like "that particular song or sound was not on a Emulator II", read this:
The shining moments refers to the synth being showcased whether visually or audibly. If you look at all my other shining moments videos for other synths, you'll see that a lot of times, they're just props, but appear publicly in a cool spot and get shown off thereby giving it a shining moment. I put the song names just to let people know what is playing during the clip because in my first few videos, I purposely left the song titles out. However, people kept asking "what song is that clip at so and so timecode"? So now, I just include it. It seems this is worse though. This synth is still there either being used or being showcased by that artist visually, and studio utilization has no bearing on whether that clip would make it in the video. For some of my videos like the Jupiter-8, Roland D-50, and Yamaha DX7, I included actual studio audio because it was specifically used and audible in the sessions.
TV appearances whether it's prop'd or not, do count because it is a "shining moment" for this synth. It is being displayed in a cool environment by usually cool artists. This video doesn't claim that those exact songs were used with it in studio sessions exactly. I just put the song titles on there to avert a million questions about what song it is by curious new listeners not familiar with these artists.
Also, how do you know it wasn't used? If you knew this synth well, you would know that is a sampler. You could sample sounds from other synths. Also, others on here claim models of other synths that were used on a specific song in this video. That's just one sound. If you believe only one synth was used in all these songs, you have never done involved professional studio sessions. Layered with other synths, tweaked, by the end, you don't know for sure. Sometimes, bands would lie about what they used because they were embarrassed of lesser synths or didn't want to reveal their secret weapon in something like this. Too many variables you don't know about to make confident comments. For the record, I own an Emulator II+, Emax II, Proteus MPS, and PK-6.
If you want to hear my real hardware Emulator II synthesizer in my 80s act, just search "Jason Mysteria" on all music streaming services and here on UA-cam. Thank you for watching.
El Emulador ha sido el responsable, junto con los músicos que lo han usado, de los sonidos, riffs y melodías más icónicas del rock y pop de los 80 y 90.
💯
AWESOME!!!
The Residents....the only band here actually trying to do something totally different with an Emulator
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting. Although they are using it in a more unique fashion, other acts such as Depeche Mode and Front 242 used it to its potential as well. DM invented new sounds in the synth world by sampling fireworks, household cooking items, water hoses, fire extinquishers, cars, voices, etc and turned them into cool musical samples used in their biggest songs. Front 242 did the same thing. Although The Residents were unique, their music wasn't exactly "musical". Cool uses of it they did though and The Residents proudly displayed the Emulators which is awesome. See my channel or end screen for the 1st part of this video. Cheers!
Umm Depeche Mode
Watching this video makes me regret get a Korg Trident instead of a Emulator II when I had a lot of cash to spend. I'm a big Genesis fan. I think the "Ah" sample came from the Fairlight. Tears for Fears used it too for Shout.
What happened to music business 😢?
"jumping the shark"...
Muito bom
what piano preset is in Level 42 (3:36)?
Good question. That is not a preset. He is playing an E-mu Emulator II. It only produces sounds by either floppy disk insertion or midi at the time of this video. There are no built-in presets on this keyboard/sampler. We'll probably never really know for sure where the piano sample came from originally. Thank you for watching!
What No Pet Shop Boys!??? 😱
Never fear. PSB got a big section for themselves in part 1 of this video series. 😎

What's that thing sitting 9n tio of the emulator?
What no Depeche Mode!??? 😱
Look for part 1 of this video. DM is the featured band. Especially Alan Wilder!🤘

@@CreatingJason ahhh cheers, I didn't notice the part 2 bit in the title 🤭
@@deydododontdedoh.5672 There's a 3rd part too.
@@CreatingJason Thanks, will check then out 👍
Gary Moore as well.
Peter Gabriel used a Fairlight on So.
Yes, but the Shakuhashi flute in the beginning of Sledgehammer is a sound from an Emulator II
Exactly.
Scroll down to the Peter Gabriel part: genesis-a-gear-revelation.fandom.com/wiki/E-mu_Emulator_II
Totally fair. I think of the Fairlight as being such a major portion of So and Security that the flute sample feels like an afterthought. Granted, it’s an iconic afterthought that anyone of a certain age recognizes in one note.
Emulator = Alan Wilder

@@CreatingJason🖤🎹
My EII is currently (once again) at my tech's shop. I love it so much. And I hate it at the same time. Completely unreliable machine at this point. We'll see.
Good to hear you still have it and use it. Sorry to hear it has problems. I've been lucky so far, but these days I only use it when tracking and that's it. 🤞
@@CreatingJason and your stuff is indeed great!
@@andycrystal Thank you so much, man! I'm posting a new video later today of my cover of Depeche Mode's "Ghosts Again". Be on the lookout.
