Ultimate Sound Bank announces new UVI instruments, 4 new software products using our UVI-Engine.
These new instruments are based on USB's UVI-Engine, and benefit from its synthesis tools: modulation section, dual layer in each preset, link-edit, and more. Those new instruments focus on specific sounds and include a massive sound library to provide a wealth of tones that is unsurpassed by any hardware synth. Musicians will appreciate the realistic sounds, the creative possibilities and the clear interface that considerably simplifies the tweaking.
Those plug-ins will be released later this year. Each one is provided in 8 plug-in formats: VST PC, VST Mac (OS 9 & X), Audio units, MAS (OS 9 & X), RTAS (OS 9 and X).
Ultrafocus
- Synthesis Anthology
This new instrument unveils new synthesis features of the UVI-Engine and contains a arsenal of sounds created using dozens of classic synths. The included presets can be loaded in one of two available "layers". Each layer can use every sound-shaping feature of the UVI-Engine: dual multimode filters, two envelopes, 4 LFOs, mono-legato mode, enhanced modulation routing and more. You'll be able to easily access tones from several synthesis methods in a simple virtual instrument: analog, analog modeling, vector, wavetable and digital. Despite the number of presets, sounds are easy to find thanks to the file search options: access sounds by type (bass, leads, etc.), or by synthesis technique.
- Huge sound library including a selection of collector's synths
- Feature-rich synth interface allowing deep programming
- Instant access to the included multi-gigabyte sound library
- UVI-Engine: award-winning professional audio engine under the hood
- Mach Five compatibility: open the library directly in MOTU's new sampler

Charlie
- Virtual Retro Organ Module
"Charlie" is focused on famous electric organ sounds. The included sound library is enormous, because nothing beats the real sound quality of a genuine organ, recorded with the vintage equipment favored by purists everywhere. The leslies were carefully miked and recorded with low and high rotor speed. Charlie is powered by our amazing sample-playback engine, allowing musicians to play complex parts without the polyphony restrictions of modeling. A clearly-designed interface helps you to make the necessary sound adjustments... The included organs are from Hammond of course, but also Elka and other select organ makers.
