Hi mates, i hope im right here!im a huge 80s fan and i already have some softsynths from Korg and recently DIVA and UNO60 + OPX Pro II which sound amazing and normally enough? But i found some demo songs of UVI Emulator II, Fairlight and The Beast which sound awesome but i dunno i read a lot of comments that those libraries are not very adjustable, not full and overpriced!so my questions are:1. Are there any FULL libraries for the PC? VSTs, Kontakt Libraries etc.?2. What advantages have the UVI products maybe?i love this kind of new styles 80s sound, synthwave, normally DIVA etc. Are enough but i love to have some great old instruments for nostalgia and usable for in the mix of this music as well like those:thanks a lot! I've provided some demos of these products for UVI (showcasing sounds only) and have mixed opinions tbh.
Regarding the EI, EII and Fairlight products, they're a great way to access some of these famous libraries. But they're not complete and you the big thing is.

If you subscribe to UVI with your email they often send out discounted weekend offers and the like. And no, I'm not on commission.
