Back In Time Records has announced the release of five new Expansions for UX3, Evalon II and all WusikEngine 4/5 compatible products, like Wusikstation.
Evalon II VST Expansion: Solina String Ensemble [€29]
160 MB sample library with 128 Presets
The legendary Solina String Ensemble was used for many 70s and 80s pop hits and the timeless timbre is still in demand today. This unique sample library features all original instruments (Contrabass, Cello, Viola, Violin, Horn, Trumpet) as well as 128 ready-to-use layers (Viola/Violin, Horn/Trumpet, etc.), many of them in stereo. Each semi-tone of the original instrument is sampled in considerable length. The result is a very close to the original instrument rendition.
Evalon II VST Expansion: The Prophet 5 [€29]
250 MB sample library with 128 Presets
Prophet 5 - a legendary synth, created by John Bowen and David Smith, famous for its unique timbres, warmness and sonic power. BITR programmed the very typical presets on a Rev 3.3 version especially for the use in the ws-engine. Having this they sampled them carefully to make the sounds close to the original when using them with the sample player. As the ws5-engine provides 4 layer slots they created Presets not only authentic to the original instrument but also with stereo layers.
The result is a library with great basses, fat leads, warm pads and stereophonic special sound effects (L and R samples for left and right channels). The Prophet 5 is another expansion for the Evalon II VST vintage keyboards sound center and is compatible with all ws4/5-engine powered sample players from Wusikstation to ManyOne.
UX3 VST Expansion: bass'd [€39]
1 GB sample library with 128 Presets
A new concept bass. For everybody who needs a full collection of electric bass and synth-bass samples. 4 Electric Bass instruments including a 5-string custom model. This library also offers 60+ classic and studio standard Synth-bass samples created with the bassy synth legends Moog Taurus, DX7, Minimoog, Prophet VS, Alesis Andromeda, TB303, Jupiter 6, SCI ProOne, Korg EX8000EX and more.
The electric bass multi-samples are provided as up to 4-V-Switch versions (all semi-tones). Each note is played in several styles: fingered, pick, muted and slap. Including extra bass effects folder with slides, dead spots and special effects. All velocity versions can be loaded separately. The 4 instruments (Fender, Warwick, Musicman, Custom) cover a wide timbre character range for all musical styles and the addition of the synth-bass collection makes this library a very useful sound tool.
UX3 VST Expansion: The Z1 [€29]
490 MB sample library with 128 Presets
With the Z1 synthesizer Korg created a mighty physical modeling instrument. Instead of common oscillators this synthesizer works with tweakable instrument models. The resulting sounds are really unique and BITR programmed a lot with this instrument. Then they took a wide range collection of pads, leads and basses and sampled all of them in stereo. You can load the L and R multisamples separately, layer them (up to 4) or use them in stereo by assigning the concerned L and R SoundSets to two waveform slots. Additional percussion kit with physical model drums and percussion FX.
UX3 VST Expansion: The Pulse [€29]
450 MB sample library with 96 Presets
One of the most famous instruments of the german Waldorf synthesizer developers was the Pulse - a very powerful monophonic synth. Really fat basses, gritty leads, warm pads. BITR programmed a versatile range of presets especially for the use in a sample player and considered a total keyboard range from C0 to C7 for a true rendition of the original instrument. The result is a sample library in mono/stereo covering the typical character of this neo-classic synth, the Waldorf Pulse.
All products are available as downloads (optional CD/DVD).
