Q Up Arts OMI Universe of Sounds Volume 1

Vintage samples from the OMI Emulator II collection. A massive assortment of sounds in glorious 8bit 27k!!

The original samples for volume 1 were compiled from a variety of contributors. Kevin Monahan of E-MU Systems wrangled these samples from various sources. Optical Media International (now Q Up Arts) is the original publisher and owner of the title.

The E-mu EII libraries were the first to implement cd.rom connectivity, innovate many keyboard sampling techniques and captured some of the highest quality recordings ever heard. I’m so excited to use the new EII library on my future projects. Thanks my ole Emu friends at Q Up Arts for reincarnating all that great EII archival work for the world and I to have once again.” Paul Haslinger Film & TV Composer Halt and Catch Fire, Underworld, Death Race. “When the OMI Universe of Sound library for the Emulator II was first released in 1986, it was a game changer for many musicians, including myself. These sounds have lost none of their vibe and magic. I am grateful to Q Up Arts and Rhythmic Robot for making them available in this new Kontakt Instrument!”
