Ultimate Sound Bank Ultra Focus Synthesis Soft Synth (Macintosh and Windows)

Imagine an instrument where you can find all the lush, warm synth sounds that inspire you. An instrument with a uniquely diverse sound, simple access to the presets, and great sound shaping tools. An instrument that does more than just emulate a vintage synth sound. Welcome to Ultra Focus.

Sounds from All the Biggest Synthesizers
In the past, one would need to record sounds from a variety of sources: modules, keyboards, even a good sampler. Today Ultra Focus brings you the best sounds from legendary synths all in one virtual instrument. They've been captured in a way that often improves on the original. Free yourself from the cables, the racks, the time that it takes to set up and tweak your vintage gear to perfection: Ultra Focus makes it possible!

Creating your own patches is a breeze, and you can make them unique by mixing patches from diverse types of synthesis: FM and wavetables, for example. Thanks to the dual layer architecture, it's fast and easy.

Great Sound Shaping Tools at Your Fingertips
The Dual layer architecture allows you to mix and match all the included presets to create your own sounds. Using this technique you can create phat basses, rich pads and many diverse and unique sounds that a single vintage synth could never produce. To tailor that sound, each layer is complete with a great arsenal of synthesis tools: a multimode filter (with envelope and several modulation sources), 2 polyphonic LFO's (with host tempo sync) amplitude and pitch envelopes and more.… read more In addition a second filter and 2 LFOs are available globally. This amounts to a fantastic arsenal of sound shaping tools, with the acclaimed sound of the UVI Engine. Couple that with an extensive selection of raw waveforms and you should find all you need to make your own sounds without compromise.

Simple to Use
Finding the sound you want is easy since they've been grouped by type (Bass, Pad, Lead etc.). Additionally, they've sorted all the presets by synthesis and type, making finding a sound that is typical of a particular synthesis technique quick and easy.
