Released in 1984 to critical acclaim and used by top artists (such as Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Depeche Mode and so many more), the Emulator II played an important role in democratizing sampling technology. Compared to the Fairlight $32,000 price tag, the Emulator II was a bargain at the time at around $8000. However, finding a working unit nowadays is both difficult and much more expensive. Thanks to Arturia's Emulator II V, musicians can bring this classic sampler into the modern days. This course, by Nigel Broad will teach you all you need to know about Arturia's Emulator II V.

Nigel begins the course with some historic background on the original Emulator II instrument.
