Emulator II V is Arturia's recreation of the E-mu Emulator II, the 1980s sampling workstation heard across pop, rock and electronic classics. It pairs the original's crunchy 8-bit character and warm analogue-style filtering with modern editing, so Mac producers can layer dusty sampled textures without hunting down fragile vintage hardware.

Key Features

  • 8-voice multitimbral sample engine based on the original hardware
  • Original 8-bit companding and 27.7 kHz sample rate character, with a cleaner conversion option
  • Per-layer filter, LFO and amplifier envelopes
  • Factory sample bank from the original instrument plus modern sounds
  • Built-in effects and the ability to work with your own samples

How to Download

  1. Check the system requirements below and make sure your Mac and DAW are ready.
  2. Download from the official site and install Arturia Software Center, which handles the download and activation.
  3. Sign in, install the software, activate your licence, then open it in your DAW or as a standalone app.

System Requirements

Emulator II V needs macOS 11.0 or later and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It works standalone and as a VST, AU and AAX plug-in in 64-bit DAWs, and installation and updates are handled through Arturia Software Center.

FAQs

Can I load my own samples?

Yes. Alongside the factory library, you can bring in your own audio and let the Emulator II V engine give it that lo-fi sampled character.

Is Emulator II V free?

No. It is paid software, sold on its own and as part of Arturia's V Collection. A demo is available through Arturia Software Center if you want to try it first.
