The E-MU selection of rack mounted gear are the holy grail of hardware ROMplers - and here we have a free offering of sounds inspired by the E-MU Orbit, available from MeatBeats. This free collection comes with 170 retro hits, stabs, pads and bass sampled from the classic 90s yellow hardware rack unit - with 40 Bass, 60 Chords, 20 Hits, 30 Pads, 15 SFX and 5 Vocals. A paid for version is also available with added 32-note polyphony, looped samples (where possible) and 40 bonus MIX presets.
