“There’s an old American joke that goes like this:
“Everyone laughed when I sat down at the piano.”
We’ll never let that happen to you!
The piano—perhaps more than any other single instrument—conveys the whole range of musical thoughts and emotions like nothing else can.
“Technology meets History
From the starship funk lead lines of the ‘70s to the gangster whine of mid ‘90s hip-hop, the ever-present MiniMg has been making its fat presence known for over 4 decades.
In partnership with Bob Moog we recreated the legendary interface of his early 70’s synth that was and is loved by generations of musicians. What truly makes this synth the Legend of Legends is its sound, and so we took great care to model the subtleties of its internal characteristics as well.
“The most emotional orchestral collection ever
Strings that soar, woodwinds that dance, brass that commands and a full symphony orchestra of sounds at your fingertips — all expertly performed with musical articulations for real music played by real musicians. From flowing legatos to animated pizzicatos, from aggressive spiccatos to elegant staccatos, from the most subtle pianissimo to the most triumphant fortissimo and more, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a sweeping vision from a master artist embodied in a new virtual instrument that brings the orchestra to life. It’s not enough to just have good recordings of classical instruments. For a true symphonic experience, you need instruments performed by the absolute best musicians articulated in just the right way directed by a producer and conductor who knows the fine art of making living, breathing samples. Miroslav Vitous pioneered the concept of a complete symphonic sample library for real composers, and now he has taken it to the next level.”
“A staggeringly authentic yet eminently useful tone-wheel organ emulation, Model C has the power to beguile and inspire thanks to a signature sound that’s been variously described as “smoky”, “punchy” or “silky”. Nine drawbars for the organ and three drawbars for percussion faithfully recreate the sound of an old drawbar organ (without the problem of where to put it). Model C also includes a highly realistic rotary effect as well as an amp section using emulations borrowed from Steinberg’s VST Amp effect.”

3 Oscillators & Noise generator.

“H910 Harmonizer
“F@*ks with the Fabric of Time”
The H910 Harmonizer® was the world’s first digital effects processor. With its unique combinations of pitch shifting, modulation and delay, the H910 can be heard on countless ground-breaking works by artists from AC/DC to David Bowie to Frank Zappa. Simply put, nothing sounds quite like it.
A powerful creative tool, the H910 plug-in is a faithful recreation of the original hardware. Use the H910’s pitch changing ability to create specific musical intervals and harmonies, spread guitars, fatten snares, apply subtle organic de-tuning to synths or add slap-back delays to vocals. At extreme settings, you can create unheard-of mechanical sounds and drone effects using self-oscillation, delay, and anti-feedback.

“ModMachine combines delay modulation and filter frequency/resonance modulation and can provide many interesting modulation effects. It also features a Drive parameter for distortion effects.”
“The first physically modeled electric bass
MODO BASS® is the first physically modeled bass virtual instrument that gives you an unprecedented realistic performance for your bass tracks.
Enter MODO BASS — the industry’s first true physically modeled instrument from the leader in analog modeling technology. 8 years in the making and developed in collaboration with one of Europe’s oldest universities, MODO BASS is a completely new breed of instrument that delivers the best of both worlds: the realism and sound of an instrument being played by a master musician and the convenience of a plug-in virtual instrument.

“Pride of place in the Music Lab here at HS Towers is the Synthesizers.com modular synth system…
With three VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators), a multi-mode filter, a creamy transistor ladder filter, two VCAs (voltage controlled amplifiers), two envelope generators, a white/pink/LF noise source, clipper, signal processor and rectifier, she makes a glorious noise and being true analogue, all sorts of non-linearities exist in the sounds that make them curiously organic with depth, richness and movement.
We have taken some choice sounds from her for the Modular Toolkit MLM…
All manner of drones, sweeps, swoops, blips, bleeps, bloops, noiise ‘uplifters’ and swooshes, shrieking FM and ring mod FX, etc., and complex sounds which the modular generated on its own, have been laid out across the keyboard so you can have this ‘toolkit’ of sounds at your finger tips to use in almost any modern musical genre. Furthermore, each sound is individually editable from tuning, level, pan, pitch mod, filter, shaping and bit crushing through to individual sample start editing complete with a waveform display.
The sounds then feed a comprehensive multi-FX comprising chorus, phase shifter, echo and convolved reverb featuring a wide range of impulses from halls and room to plates and spring reverbs and lush anbiences….
Whatever aspect of modern music making you’re involved in, whether your a top Hollywood scorer or a more modest bedroom producer and irrespective of your musical style, you will find the Modular Toolkit an invaluable addition to your sonic arsenal for injecting some modular madness into your works.
“The Revival of a Legend
This is the one that switched on the synthesizer in popular music. Huge, massive, powerful, flexible all of this recreated in great detail for you.
Arturia, in partnership with Dr. Bob Moog, has brought you the synth that started it all. From Wendy Carlos’s famous ‘Switched on Bach’ to Keith Emerson’s live use, this huge modular showed that electronics could be musical thus being the catalyst for every synthesizer we see today. The towering modular synthesizer that has dominated the world of music since the 1960s has been revived!

The first choice for bass and lead sounds from electronic and hip hop to indie rock and beyond, no other synth comes close to this combination of power, richness, and musical tone. Delivering the true sound of a synth as famous as the artists who used it, MONARK is the holy grail of analog modeling.
MONARK runs in REAKTOR or the free REAKTOR PLAYER, and is optimized to integrate perfectly with the entire MASCHINE family.
“If you are like me and the name Mongo invokes visions of some big Neanderthalish type toddling about with a sampler saying ‘Mongo sample good’, you need to put that out of your mind; because their stuff is totally genius. – The Razorwire Ballet”
“This is a mono delay effect that can either be tempo-based or use freely specified delay time settings.”
“The VST MultiPanner plug-in panel allows you to position a mono or stereo sound source.”
