UVI Digital Synsations PC/MAC

In the late 80's and early 90's the synthesizer landscape began to change. A new breed of keyboards began appearing in shops, records and on stage; matte black behemoths eschewing the familiar knob arrays for uniform clusters of discrete buttons and glowing green LCD screens.

They signaled more than a shift in interaction with our musical counterparts‚ they ushered in the era of the digital synth. To those willing to forgo the immediacy and ease-of-editing of the analog synth world these keyboards offered amazing features for the time; massive polyphony, extensive on-board sequencers and pattern memory, removable storage and digital effects.

In addition to the immediate benefits of digital processing some of these keyboards also dawned innovative hybrid synthesis techniques, combining sample playback with classic methods allowing synthesists and musicians the opportunity to explore new sonic territory. 4 Classics, Massive Patch LibraryThe possibilities with a few of these classics was more than we could bear and became the inspiration for our new project, Digital Synsations.

We took 4 classic keyboards from the era and set our sound designers loose, tasking them to return with boundary-pushing sounds‚ and they did. Digital Synsations includes over 500 patches expertly programmed on fully restored hardware‚ used by many of the greats including Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Vangelis, Brian Eno, Toto, 808 State, Jean Michel Jarre and more.

Pristine Sound, Deeply EditableWe deeply multi-sampled these custom patches using top-shelf equipment and edited them to perfection before sending them off for professional mastering. These sonics became the foundation for our new hybrid instrument and combined with the UVI Engine give you the true character of these classic synths with all of the peculiarities and programming by products intact.

Not only that but you get them in an extremely easy to use and fast to edit environment complete with all the features you expect from a modern virtual instrument. If you're looking for a new take on the 90's sound or just some new classic synth inspiration then look no further.
