Once strongly impressed and inspired by THE massive legendary machines of yesteryear and those “classic” 80s sounds that defy time and country, UVI has created a special collection of vintage instruments with powerful tools and authentic sounds, strengthened by the mythical spirit.
Emulation One, Emulation II, Darklight IIx and The Beast made these legends come true.
Emulation One presents you with the unbridled sonic imprint of this ‘nearly affordable and compact’ sampler from 1981. Used by greats such as Vangelis, Herbie Hancock, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Genesis, Kitaro, Jean-Michel Jarre, Stevie Wonder, Philip Glass, John Carpenter and more, this 8-bit classic will surely inspire you on new voyages of sound as you rediscover the magic character of this 80′s gem. Over 200 of the best sounds were carefully selected and recorded from a fully restored unit. Old-school drums, bass, choir-voices, fretted instruments, FX, keys, mallets, percussion, synths, strings, orchestral hits and more are all here.Featuring totally different but complementary sounds to its successor, Emulation One will add a piece of history to your musical arsenal.

Hundreds of sounds and instruments among the best are included: drums, bass, bells, choir-voices, fretted instruments, FXs, keyboards, mallets, percussion, synths, strings, orchestral hits and a lot more. A simple, yet complete, user interface reproduces the looks and feeling of the most famous and essential machine from the eighties.

Inspired by the most mythical Computer Music Instrument of the 80′s. Costing upwards of $100.000, the dream machine of the 80′s was unattainable by most.

Darklight IIx offers several ‘Pages’, each an instrument on its own:
• Page P – “Organic” Digital Sound

All of these combine to present you with the soul of this mythical machine, packaged in an easy-to-use interface with modern controls for enhanced expression and musicality.
