I've been working on integrating VSCO 2 Pro with my 90's samplers/ROMplers and ended up creating this thing last night. I haven't written music seriously in about a year, so I'm really rusty, and it's pretty inspired by the Age of Empires II score, but I think it's a decent start-

I used just the strings from VSCO 2 and the bass/perc from a BOSS DS-330 unit, which is pretty much a stenciled Roland GM ROMpler with some wonderfully cheesy delays and reverbs built-in (I used the pan delay for this track, which is endless fun). It's barely a draft, and I don't know if I'll ever finish it, but it seemed like a cool premise and I want to keep exploring cross-overs.
Next week I'll be getting an Alesis MIDIverb II, the rackmount reverb unit Mattias ID'd as being from the AoE II setup pictures that I hope to incorporate into some of this stuff.
I also did a quick demo with the Mirage only and some effects, I don't know if I shared it-
