If you’ve ever wanted to own a museum’s worth of temperamental, wall-sized analog synthesizers but lacked the trust fund to actually buy them, Volume 8 is your holy grail. This sample CD takes the fat, warm, drifting magic of legendary analog circuits and ruthlessly crams it into the cold, calculating digital architecture of a 90s sampler. It’s analog warmth, but with 100% less soldering!

The Mount Rushmore of Synths: Moog, ARP, Prophet, Juno, and OB (Oberheim). All the legendary, speaker-rattling analog thickness you crave, conveniently stripped of their habit of drifting violently out of tune the second the room gets a little drafty.

Classic Organs: Everything you need to soundtrack a deeply haunted 1970s roller rink or instigate a stadium wave at a minor league baseball game.

The Chapman Stick: Ah, yes, the legendary vintage synthesizer known as… a 10-string tapping guitar? For some inexplicable reason, E-MU threw in the ultimate prog-rock bass instrument. Because you never know when your retro-synthwave track is going to spontaneously turn into a 1980s King Crimson cover.

As is tradition, this sonic goldmine is perfectly formatted to spin up in the SCSI CD-ROM drive of your E4 Ultras, EOS, and ESI samplers. You can finally enjoy the ironic bliss of playing a $10,000 vintage Moog patch through a 32MB digital workstation from 1999.
