Univers Sons / Ultimate Sound Bank have announced the release of Electric Toy Museum for UVI Workstation, which has also been updated to v1.011.
For Electric Toy Museum, 97 vintage musical toys were carefully sampled in the very best conditions, 24 bits / 96khz quality, most of them recorded with the best microphones and preamps, resulting in more than 1,000 presets and 14,000 samples. Every aspect of each machine has been captured: multi-sampled instruments with release samples for every note, rhythms converted into sliced loops, GM drumkits created, FX and speech voices carefully organized...
These "jewels'" character come from their acoustic assembling and the "cheap" speakers they use. To capture the essence of them, USB sampled them in a superb sounding studio room. They took the time to find the right microphone for the right machine, then recorded every note and every sound possible (including release samples, key clicks, etc.), USB also recorded drum loops or instrument loops (note that with the UVI Workstation or MachFive2, the loops will sync directly to the desired tempo).
After editing this huge amount of sounds, this epic work was finalized by trying to find the best way to organize the collection, and here is the result, dealt out in 10 categories: Children, Developed, Drums & FX, Mini Sampler, Musical Toys, Organ Basic, Silly, Small, Speech & Style-o-phone.
Electric Toy Museum is now available for $249, and includes the full version of UVI Workstation (which is free of course).
