EMU Planet Earth Sounds?

[Arpangel]

I used to have an EMU sample pack for Windows XP, many moons ago, I used to use it a lot, it was one of my main sound sources, especially the sounds from Planet Earth, I liked the ethnic percussion and reed organ sounds especially. I'm wondering if it's possible to get those samples again, but I'm on a Mac now. My options are to look out for a Proteus 2000 or Planet Earth, or maybe, seeing as I have Kontakt it may be possible to get samples, but I haven't seen any.

You can get them in a few places:

Thanks, looks like I'll have to buy the full Proteus pack though, for Kontakt, the individual modules are only available in sound font, I think.

You can choose EXS24 format, Kontakt should load/import those just fine, if you just want the sounds.

Yes, but the whole package is tempting, I used to use all of them, they each had great sounds, that extended way beyond the intended genre EMU made them for.

There's an EMU Planet Earth on ebay right now for £180.

Thanks Stickman, I'll check it out.

Well thanks. But to be honest, I sold my Emu and switched to the Roland JV2080 and bought the World and Asia boards instead. Roland JV1080/2080 are easier to get hold of. Or is there a specific preset that you're after?

I remember, I spent years hunting down a Planet Earth ROM. I bought an empty Proteus and filled it with ROMs.

B3 ROM
Planet Earth ROM
Vintage ROM
Proteus 2000 ROM

I had a fully loaded Proteus, but at the end of the day, I thought the Roland had the wider range of sounds.

Yes, I'm after specific sounds "Metalophons" and a few reed organ sounds. And TBQH, most of the ethnic percussion in the Planet Earth. I just like the EMU sound, it's got something.

Hi

There are two World Expedition ROMs (the ROM from the Planet Earth module) on ebay US if that helps.

Thanks, I'm in the UK and tend not to buy abroad.
But I'm really looking for a Proteus Earth, or, a Proteus 2000, which has all of those sounds.

[Stickman0_3]

Best of luck in your search.

Hey, Arpy. I've got a Proteus 2000 sitting totally unused in my rack. I'll PM you about it.

Many thanks, but I think I'm sorted, curtesy of Wonks!

Hi

Did you get this sorted out? The reason I ask is that there is a Proteus 2000 with a World Expedition ROM in the SOS classifieds now for £420 in Slough. Data wheel a bit temperamental but some switch cleaner will sort that out.

[Wonks]

The data wheel's rotary encoder will need taking apart and giving a good clean. Switch cleaner alone won't remove the loose carbon that's shorting across the many contacts inside. It's not that fiddly a task. I know because I had to do it on mine.

And Arpy is now in possession of my old Proteus 2000.

[Stickman0_3]

OK, no problem.

[Arpangel]

Yes, all sorted, thanks to to Wonks!

When Creative closed down Emu a bunch of us lost our contracts and the libraries we had created for them over the years. Luckily Tim Swartz brokered a licensing deal with them to sell the library soundfonts in various formats. Because of this I have soundfonts of every product ever created and the Planet Earth is one of them - one of my favourite libraries.

Yes, it's great, all of my percussion comes from it, plus a bit of Reaktor.

They are lovely Tone and my favourite percussion library along with some of the old classics ....

I have to thank "The Wonks" for all this, he comes to the rescue, yet again!
