"This is a RARE, hardware based virtual synth module, organ and vocoder.
Tried it for about 10 minutes. This synth module houses up to EIGHT keyboards in one hardware unit. It uses software to allow for deep programming of patches, and has fast favorite buttons to bring up a Minimoog lead patch, or a smoking Hammond B3 organ in an instant. With original box and manual.
What others say about the Plugiator:
“Plugiator is brilliant in more ways than I can adequately describe....
If you’re in the market for a new suite of synths and you thought that software instruments were the only economically viable way for you to expand your sound, think again. The synth world just became a much
more interesting place.” -- Future Music 06/2008, Jojo Buchanan
“Plugiator is a gem: There's serious cost-effectiveness, sound quality, ease of use, and low latency... with editing software to complete the package. (...) this unassuming little box delivers major bang for the buck.” -- Harmony Central 10/2008, Craig Anderton
“Seriously, this little gem is the digital answer to almost every one of your analog wet dreams. (....) straight up the “Plugiator” rocks! Value for money, you get way more than you pay for. It’s easy to use, portable, well built, looks good and sounds great. It’s every live keyboardist’s dream come true and studio composer’s new best friend.”
-- Australian Musician 09/2008, Jason McNamara
“The sounds themselves are amazing. They’re not just evocative of the originals, they come close to perfect emulations, the dedicated DSP hardware providing a level of realism that most nativesoftware models can’t touch without bringing even a strong computer to its knees from CPU overload.” -- Recording Magazine 02/2009, Mike Metlay
The Plugiator can store up to eight different DSP plug-ins and can load any one at a time at a push of a button. Each plug-in comes with 100 presets – allowing you to store up to 800 different sounds within that cute little box which the Plugiator is.
When connected to your computer via USB, the Plug-In Manager software (for Windows and OSX) lets you tweak each plug-in via its GUI and manage your presets which you want stored in the Plugiator box.
Another unique innovation is the elegant integration of an online sound database – which allows you to listen to new user-uploaded presets with just one click of your mouse!
No need to download and install sound banks: listen to new sounds from the internet; it just does not get more convenient than that.
The Plugiator would not be a Use Audio product if the operating panel wasn’t equally inviting: Eight encoder knobs allow you to tweak major sound parameters while playing, and the ten “quick pads” let you quickly store and recall your favorite plug-in/preset combinations – just as you need it when you perform live.
The Plugiator box provides MIDI In and Thru connections, USB, a microphone input, stereo line outs and a headphone output."
