First of all, apologies for this hiatus for writing music. Fortunately, now that I've officially finished my end of the project (at least for now), I think I can give some explanations: one big reason why I haven't been writing music lately is because I've been involved with music in other ways.
This post is arguably an add-on to my review of OMI's Universe of Sounds CD's. A preview video I made is here, followed by some other sounds played by JMPSynth.

So, at this point, you're probably wondering: why am I persisting with an old blog post of mine? Well, I am acquainted with Douglas Morton of Q-Up-Arts, a company formerly known as the famous OMI that partnered with Emu Systems for their Emulator II and Emax I sound libraries, and upon our discussions, we agreed it would be fit to port these Emulator II sound banks to a more modern format. A few days ago I finished exporting all of the samples in WAV format from the first two of three Universe of Sounds CD's (the third we likely won't have the legal rights for, as they're owned by the seemingly-dead Northstar), and the rest will be left up to Doug. If you're reading this, it was a pleasure helping out with this task!
Needless to say to any other vintage synthesizer geeks, expect something good in the future beyond the mere lite edition of these libraries (known as Master Studio Collection)!
