UVI Emulation II+ Review: A Retro Sampler Suite with Modern Features
Emulation II
Emulation II is based on the legendary E-mu Emulator II, one of the most popular samplers of the '80s. Used by artists such as Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Enya, Vangelis, Stevie Wonder, and many more, the Emulator II had a distinctive sound that defined an era. With UVI Emulation II, you get over 300 layers recorded directly from a fully-restored Emulator II. You also get access to the exclusive OMI libraries "Universe of Sounds" volumes 1 and 2, which were officially licensed by UVI. These libraries contain hundreds of high-quality sounds that cover a wide range of genres and styles. But that's not all. UVI Emulation II also lets you switch between the Emulator II and the rare Oberheim DPX-1 modes with a simple click. The Oberheim DPX-1 was a rackmount sampler that could load sounds from various formats, including the E-mu disks. By loading the same sounds on both machines and recording them separately, UVI captured two different flavors of lo-fi sampling that you can compare and contrast in real time. To use UVI Emulation II, you simply load a layer from the browser and play it on your keyboard. You can also tweak the sound using the intuitive interface that mimics the original hardware. You can adjust the volume, pan, tune, filter, envelope, and LFO settings for each layer. You can also add effects such as chorus, phaser, delay, and reverb to enhance the sound. One of the coolest features of UVI Emulation II is the ability to layer up to 8 sounds together and create huge stacked sounds. You can also use the arpeggiator to create catchy sequences and patterns. You can sync the arp to your host tempo and choose from various modes and patterns. You can also edit the arp steps and velocity for more control. UVI Emulation II offers a stunning collection of sounds that range from classic synths, pianos, organs, strings, brass, woodwinds, guitars, basses, drums, percussion, ethnic instruments, vocals, choirs, sound effects, and more. You can find sounds for any genre or mood, from pop, rock, funk, soul, disco, new wave, synthwave, ambient, cinematic, and beyond. Some of the highlights of UVI Emulation II are: - The famous Shakuhachi flute that was used by Peter Gabriel in "Sledgehammer" and Enigma in "Sadeness". - The haunting female choir that was used by Vangelis in "Blade Runner". - The iconic orchestral hit that was used by countless '80s hits such as "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. - The funky slap bass that was used by Level 42 and Cameo. - The lush string ensemble that was used by Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys. - The realistic acoustic piano that was used by Stevie Wonder and Elton John. - The powerful synth brass that was used by Van Halen and Europe. - The quirky synth bells that were used by Madonna and Duran Duran. - The crisp drum machine sounds that were used by Prince and Phil Collins. And many more! Emulation I
