The Hybrid Harpsichord is based on an instrument built by Kirckman in the 1770s. This rare-seen classic instrument has a single manual with 3 stops, including a lute stop. The Krickman Harpsichord is famous for its unique, high quality sound and although this particular instrument is over 240 years old, it's in surprisingly excellent condition.

To make this wonderful instrument available to all musicians, we did careful sampling and used our Sound Magic Award-Winning Hybrid Modeling Technology to bring it to life once again.During the recording session, we use several acclaimed Brauner VMA microphones, which nowadays are considered to be the best microphones available for this sort of job. We also used API preamps and dCS's Analog to Digital Converters to record it.

The fresh new sample pack from premier Pop purveyors Prime Loops, inspired by modern Pop royalty, "Urban Dreamz" consists of 6 full construction kits including everything from epic basslines and drum loops, to ethereal synth leads and percussion loops. This loop collection is a hit makers' golden ticket to chart success, delivering masses of contemporary Urban Pop sounds

"Urban Dreamz" crams a sky-scraping 530MB+ into one neat package and is available via instant download in pristine 24-bit quality. Effortlessly make your dreams a reality by selecting any loop and beat-matching it to yout desired tempo, without any loss in the original quality. All of this is available to you 100% royalty free.

Arturia announces availability of Wurlitzer V, a (Standalone, VST 2.4 & 3 — 32-bit and 64- bit, RTAS and AU — 32- and 64-bit) high-end software recreation of the classic Wurlitzer EP 200A electric piano.

Unlike traditional sampling libraries, the Wurlitzer V's embedded physical modelling engine readily reproduces the agreeable acoustic properties of the Wurlitzer EP 200A's musically distinctive reeds, key action, and amplification combo.

Back in the 70′s, leading keyboard designers around the world attempted to reproduce orchestral string sounds through analog synthesis. The results were far from their original intent but were in no way failures. Used on countless cult records and engrained in our collective memory to this day; these 'String Machines' bore an analog soul on their own.


At UVI, we are obsessed with this, having spent countless hours working on ways to capture this analog soul and present it as an accessible, expressive, fully editable digital tool. So was born String Machines; a hybrid instrument, forged with the analog imprint of the 11 most musical string synthesizers ever built.
