Fifth Plugsound Instrument Released

May 21, 2002

USB (Universal Sound Bank) announced the availability of Plugsound volume 5: World Of Synthesizers. This release is the full Mac-PC version that was previewed at the NAMM show in January. Each Plugsound volume is a virtual instrument based on a professional sample library, available as a VST2 plug-in (Mac-PC), as well as a MAS and RTAS plug-in on the Mac.

Volume 5 is a sound module that offers 512 presets using more than 1,000 samples. It is powered by the UVI-Engine which features dual multimode filters, amplitude and filter envelopes and a mono-legato mode. The engine also allows users to edit each keyzone independently.

Key benefits of this product include:

Access to libraries without the need for a sampler
Filters and mono-legato mode.
Transposition engine
One of the easiest to use electronic instruments ever created, hardware or software
VST2/MAS/RTAS compatibility
Save all edited parameters within the sequence it is being used into
Zone-edit capabilities: change parameter values for each sample-zone independently

The focus of this collection was to supply presets based on a very wide variety of analog, digital, virtual analog and plug-in synthesizers. From expensive workstations to specialized sound modules, World Of Synthesizers focuses on real synth sounds, allowing a breadth of sound unrivalled by most hardware modules. Additionally, the UVI Engine allows quality filtering and much more...

Synth categories offered in the library include: Composites, Flutes, Voices, Tines & Bells, Basses (Acid, analog, disco/house, garage, electropop, hip hop/ R 'n B, sub, techno...), Pads, Soft Pads, Filter Sweeps, Analog Brass, Leads, Organs, Piano-like, Textures/Fx and Short-Reso.
