Anyone bought this yet? Thoughts?
Demos sound great to me.

This is the kind of stuff I would like to buy, but I-lock is against my philosophical principles.

Looks interesting, but rather expensive, and the iLok hassle.

At only £15 Hollow Suns Vintage Samplers seems like a better buy for these kinds of sounds.

This is the kind of stuff I would buy (and I have an ilok), but $199 for the sounds from the 80's is against my philosophical principles.

UVI makes quality stuff, though. And their GUIs are just gorgeous!

I also have an iLok, but their prices hold me down.

They also recently did an instrument on the Emulator II...same price. Granted, it included also a DrumTracks instrument. But $200 for an 80's sound library seems just overkill.

I love 80's sounds and there is just something warm and fuzzy about a VST with a green screen monitor for an interface...

This is most definitely of interest, but as others have said the price is a little off putting. For me it would depend on the quality, the amount of sounds and how deeply you can program your own variations.

For this type of product I would also check out retailers to see if someone carries it. I think Sweetwater carries UVI and also JRR Shop, though it doesn't look like Uncle E has it quite yet. They have the Emulator II one that MrDuke mentioned for $179. Don't know if on top of that you also get the 15% off (Fourth of July Sale) that they're currently running. But if so... that would put it at about $152, which would sure make it a little easier to take!

couldn't agree more. it's a shame because i love the free UVIplayer, and they have some GREAT sounds!

Darklight IIx review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkDT-gSjTwo

This one sounds like instant Kate Bush to me. I haven't had that experience with my other Fairlight libraries.


Yes, we can do Darklight for $152, the same price as Emulator II. PM me and I'll take care of that.

@C-Note, thanks for posting that review!

Very good review Feeling my money burning a hole in my pocket now

Just from hearing the YouTube videos (which generally doesn't have the best sound quality) it really sounds like both Darklight and Emulation II have a lot of depth particularly to the low end, which was pretty impressive. I can't vouch for the Fairlight (never having actually played one), but I do know that a real Emulator has a distinct roundness and fullness that one doesn't often hear in typical sound libraries (or your average vst for that matter... not even in EmulatorX). It's like maybe watching a 3D movie as compared to a regular movie.

Do you have it in stock? or for download?

Thanks
