Award wining Virtual Instrument development company, AIR Music Technology and Audio Software Distribution Service Plugivery are proud to announce that they have joined forces to announce the release of not ONE but SEVEN new inspiring Virtual Instruments.

The 7 new plug-ins support VST, VST 3, AU and AXX formats and also operate as standalone desktop software for "Plug and Play" performance with any midi controller.

Note: All these NEW products do not support/require the use of iLok. Instead, AIR has developed a convenient login based system to authorize the following brand new plug-ins :

Elektron Analog Four | Tasty Aftertouch


video upload by Mamotreco

"Checking out how some Elektron Analog Four synth sounds are affected by aftertouch. From bass to lead, these 4 examples show how Analog Four synthesizer presets have added expressivity thanks to the Analog Four being able to respond to aftertouch.

In this case, Analog Four is being played with an external controller (Push 2) capable of sending Aftertouch data over MIDI. You will also see aftertouch being used in conjunction with the Mod strip to maximize the expressivity available at the player's fingertips.

AQUA 無限水 / KITARO 喜多郎 COVER


video upload by ltpstan

"AQUA, another good piece to demonstrate Kitaro's signature sound from the miniKORG 700S/FS.

Inspiration came from the recent live recording of Kitaro. One of the thoughts and observations is that, AQUA has been in played many times live by Kitaro since the 1980s. Possibly, it is one of the pieces Kitaro likes performing.

One of the feelings I have noticed is that, AQUA has alot of mysterious elements, in a way of the chord progression. It is also one of the Kitaro pieces that allows much more emotional expressiveness through the melodies.

The initial release from 'Oasis' album has a rather straight tone but over the years of re-covers by Kitaro, this song has evolved to become more expressive than the first initial release.

In this cover, I chose the 'Harp' sound and the Squar-ish sound from different variations of AQUA. Keeping some of the familiar melodies of AQUA with variation and improvisation. improvisation is something I try to always work on.

Today's playing had a few dexterity issues."

EML Synkey

You can find demos of the Synkey in previous posts here. There's also an orange accent model.

"Rare as all hens teeth! The EML Synkey punch card synth! Supposedly only 47 were made with the punch card reader!"

The portamento pot needs replacing, the aftertouch also needs adjustment at the keybed, this is a fairly easy procedure and hopefully I can get it done before I ship but can also send documentation on how to do it.

This is the same Oscillator, Filter and Ring Mod included on the EML 101, the Ring Mod is amazing, out of this world and hands down the best ring mod I've ever heard!

The SynKey is a classic programmable polyphonic synthesizer with plenty of unique features. Its sounds are thick and analog. It has thirteen oscillators! That is, one for the primary tone and twelve more for higher semi-tones, each of which are easily accessed by a simple on/off button. You can turn on or off any of the oscillators you wish, and no tuning is necessary! The oscillators only generate square waves and though the synth itself is monophonic, the SynKey is still one fat sounding synth. Its new 'Second touch' is like Aftertouch which gives you filter sweeps, vibrato and pitch bends by pressing harder on the key."
