Moving on then to the workstations then, this includes samplers and romplers of ages past. I have seen plenty of well made products with good interfaces, but what really impresses me is when they sound so good I feel I have a slice of not only the machines raw sound, but how the machines were processed by the pros. Overall, the choice is fantastic and the way these sounds are presented sound, to me, very authentic 80s. Just be aware that machines with multiple possible settings, such as the 909 and 808 are sampled at a, so you have ultimately end up with a fixed amount of sounds to choose from, unlike an emulation like D16's Drumazon. These sounds are available in kits or categories mapped out over the keyboard (BD menu, SN menu, HH menu etc) and there are also pre-recorded loops on hand which I could drag and drop into Cubase 7.5 (Windows). But in terms of selection and sound this section is not likely to disappoint. Whether this is down to the chain they used, or the fact that all 80,000 drum samples were mastered by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound, I couldn't tell you. In short they sound awesome, really punchy and full. My first dabbling was with the drum machines, and I Immediately perked up upon hearing the sound. Drum Machines, workstation/samplers and vintage synths. I think I can break down the review into three general areas. You can however select some raw oscillator sounds in the preset menu, which you can use as the basis for your own patches. In contrast, in the UVX-3P (JX-3P) you cannot access the oscillator section. In that respect it’s not far off a complete emulation of the MiniMoog.

Waveform shape, detuning of oscillators, mixer driver level and so on. For certain machines, such as the UltraMini synthesizers, we are treated to even more. So once you know one of them you will be quite able to find your way around the others despite the widely varying, and well done, aesthetic design. And each synth is paired with a suitably modelled analog filter, which is clearly demonstrated by comparing the filter of a UVX-3P synth with the UltraMini.īecause of the underlying UVI engine all of the recreations shame a similar interface structure, with almost all of them sharing the same features, though some have one or two unique functions too. Fueled by hardware samples, the rest of the UVI engine is fleshed out with analog modelled filters, envelopes, LFO's (usually just one) a sequencer, stereo controls (such as unison) and all the effects you can dream of. Using these samples in their UVI engine they've created hybrid instruments, inspired by the original machines. UVI got their units restored, professionally programmed and then sampled them. Now to be clear, these are not VSTi emulations. To name a few of the heavy weights (literally): Fairlight, Synclavier, MiniMoog, Korg M1, Prophet VS, Mellotron, Synthex, Emu emulator, Waldorf Wave, Roland 808 & 909 and bunches more.

For $499 you can have a full rooms worth of classic vintage gear, 36 instruments & 80 drum machines, all condensed into a convenient UVI software sampler. Well, it just so happens UVI have a tasty proposition. Hopefully in a more convenient package too. For a few the investment is worth it, but many of us bide our time until something more affordable comes along that brings these treasured sounds to us. If you’re anything like me you like to entertain the idea that someday you will get your hands on all that classic stuff you've been drooling over despite knowing that to do so would be prohibitively expensive.
