Despite having restored my E-mu Emulator II last year having imported it from the US I've not really had a chance to use this beast much. On realising that so many seem to be intent on digitally transferring the EII's libraries directly I decided to make some samples directly from the beast's mix output in order to save some of the magic that is the EII's unusual sample/companding/analog filter/audio path.
Thanks to it's SSM analog filters and great modulation capabilities the EII makes quite a nice synth and a great vintage sampler. Yes it's loaded with shortcomings but as is often the case these somehow make it all the more special.
The following is the infamous EII Bosendorfer Piano used in countless pop and dance tracks of the 80's and early 90's. It's not a modern super realistic rendition - but definitely works well with some musical styles.
I put together a multisample in Kontakt for those who want to have a play:
