Yes indeed

Full retail price will be £99 / $149. There will be a launch offer for the first month – at least 10% off the RRP, possibly a smidge more than that

We'll let you know for sure in a week's time!

Audio Demo 1: Strings

We're finally getting round to some audio demos, and we thought we'd lead with the strings. Here's a quick taster of fourteen or so of the 61 string patches in the library – everything from those big, standout marcato strings to creepy tremolandi, pizzicato stabs, swelling arco patches, runs and glisses, and even bowed harmonics. Let us know what you think!

Audio Demo 2: Brass

And here's another one, showcasing just a few of the 52 brass patches in the library. There's some real fun in here – some of the sounds are classic stabs, runs, falls etc; but there are some great ensembles, pop sections and really rude saxophones in there too

Thanks, Mario! I'm having such fun playing the patches I've almost forgotten the months of sleepless nights and RSI involved in actually sampling them

It's been rather a mammoth amount of effort and tbh I hadn't quite realised how much was involved when I started...

Still, "massive" has got to be good

Audio Demo 3: Synth

Now for some synths. There are 75 in the library, covering ARPs, Oberheims, Rolands, Yamahas, Korgs and more; plus some oddities like the Rhodes Chroma. This is just a little taster-pack of a few of them. Plus there are some pretty recognisable signature sounds in there... how many can you spot?! Fun fun fun!

Now we certainly need this, fully optimized for the Arturia Emulator II V.

Well, if anyone from Arturia wants to get in touch and offer to make us rich, we're ready and waiting...

I presume someone from Native Instruments got in touch and made you rich back then...

Really? How would they have done that? We make instruments for Kontakt, but unless they're customers of ours on the sly, I don't think we've ever taken a penny from Native Instruments...

WOW!! Seriously?? If NI wanted to make bank on this collection the would have bought the rights from the creators and released it themselves.

As CLEARLY stated on RR's site:

"Over 500 superb sounds from the biggest, bluest sampler of the 80s, brought to Kontakt with the blessing and collaboration of their original publisher, Doug Morton"

Entire Emulator II "Universe of Sounds" library coming soon for Kontakt
