It does include some. 78 I believe. I read on this very forum that it can load EII disk images and that there are many available all over the net. I havent looked yet, but I hope this is true. The impression that whoever told you probably got is because it doesnt seem to have that many of the simple kind of sounds the EII is known for included in the library.

I think Arturia are trying to make the EII also seem appealing to younger producers and by that I mean say 30 or younger who would maybe see those kind of EII sounds as cheesy or cheap. Most of those people probably never heard of an EII before this. They probably grew up with analog emulations so knew many of those names and the kind of sounds they produced made it into modern music. Simple EII style sounds, not so much. This is really the first mainstream emulation of it.

I'm excited by the EIIV. No it doesn't have alot of the kind of thing the EII is known for, but the tone is good when you do load one of those kind of sounds. I have no doubt people will find a way and make available a large amount of EII sounds for EIIV. This thing just came out, remember. i was a little underhwelmed by the lack of many EII sounds in it. I have an Emax 1 which came with a giant box of floppys. Theres all kinds of things not in the EIIV like a good non-synth brass patch that i have plenty for the Emax. (Emax and EII are the same library) maybe it's a licensing thing. They are recordings remember.
