EMU Emulator Standards 05 of 44 Stereo Strings

[@discombob93]

They do indeed sound good in a retro-nostalgic kind of way. I wonder how we could use them in modern sampler plugins in our DAWs, or if they were licensed in a way that they can only be played back from Emu hardware... most of us wouldn't have any.

It's the DA converters and the inbuilt synth engine that really makes these shine, EMU were purchased by Creative in the 90s I'm surprised they have not done something with them? There is the Emulator X and there is the arturia Emulator 2 but they do not come close to the hardware. Also, there are around 22 actual EMU libraries and over 100 3rd party libraries, so I dont know how that would work?

Many sample CDs are available to download in places like the Internet Archive, and the samples can be converted to SF2 or other files using software like CDXtract and Chicken Systems Translator Pro.

Hi, is there a way to get this? Maybe sysex or soundfont?

[@jameshancox1]

It may be on some of the sound fonts that creative did with the emu librarys. Easiest way to get it is with ESI samplere
