A collection of virtual instruments capturing a full range of classic and rare analog and digital sythesizers, electro-mechanical organs and other vintage keyboard instruments from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
The user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer in the main preset has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch, Pan, and more. Every quadrant has its own individual arpeggiator and filter with 39 built-in filter types. You can access all the samples in each layer, allowing you to mix and match with ease.
The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers. Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.
You can set up dynamic arpeggiator, gliss, and strum patterns with our integrated ARP system, featuring a suite of abilities like rhythm, direction, swing and randomization. The Legato feature is also included, instantly turning this machine into a monophonic legato/portamento instrument with adjustable pitch bend speed control. Dive in to tweak and automate every parameter with total control over every detail, or just hit the Random button to instantly generate an infinite variety of new sound, parameter and dynamic modulator combinations. The Macro knobs to the left and right of the XY Pad can be assigned to modulate a variety of layer sound shaping controls or FX rack plugins.
User sample import allows you to blend your own WAV files into the engine to make each sound truly your own. Mix and shape your samples alongside our custom categories of sounds and 24 wavetables for your next epic atmosphere.
Vintage Keys Collection ships with over 100 Factory Presets, each one lovingly crafted. They can be easily perused using the Preset Browser. You can also save new patches you’ve made using the browser, or share presets with other users. Finally, don’t forget to fire up the FX rack panel and load your synth up with dozens of DSP effects, including convolution reverb with over 100 of our custom real-world and special FX spaces to perfect your sound.
