AIR Music Technology has announced the release of seven new Virtual Instruments, all available at the KVR Marketplace with special introductory pricing starting at $29. They say:
Based in Germany, AIR Music Technology started as Wizoo Sound Design, one of the earliest pioneers in virtual instrument technology. The AIR team is responsible for the core of much of the effects and instrument offerings in Avid's Pro Tools and Akai Professionals MPC software/OS. AIR is also well known for its award-winning virtual instruments bundle AIEP 3.
Leveraging this history of excellence, AIR is back in a big way for 2022. AIR is excited to bring the first group of many all-new releases this year so stay tuned.
The new range results from nearly five years of development leveraging over twenty years of experience and research into high-quality emulation, FX and Synthesis. The 7 new plug-ins support VST, VST 3, AU and AAX formats and also operate as standalone desktop software for "Plug and Play" performance with any MIDI controller.
AIR has developed a login based system to authorize on three computers at a time the following brand new plug-ins:
Bassline is a monophonic vintage synthesizer featuring Vacuum Tube Synthesis with an evolved version of AIR's vacuum tube circuit modelling technology.
Electric - Reference Electric Piano
Electric is a complete electric piano collection. Choose from a comprehensive array of legendary keyboards like Rhodes, Wurlitzers, FM keyboards, and more developed over decades of research. Electric builds upon the legacy of AIR Velvet with a new range of powerful features and sounds.
Hype is a hybrid synthesizer plug-in instrument with features that extend far beyond its preset library. Cover everything from hard-hitting plucks to sultry melodic leads with this preset and macro-based synth combining multiple synth engines (wavetable, FM, virtual analogue, multi-sample) all in one easy to use interface.
Mellotron - AIR's Homage to the original
The new Mellotron plug-in instrument is a recreation of the legendary tape sample keyboard machine featured on countless classic Rock albums.
From the creators of the timeWARP2600 and Kick Axe instruments, WayOutWare. WayOutWare worked to capture the behaviour, character and charm of the original ARP Odyssey. With Expression pedal modulation, velocity and channel pressure support built-in every attention to detail and realism has been made.
The AIR Solina Plugin is based on the classic 6-timbre polyphonic keyboard instrument featuring Contrabass, Cello, Viola, Violin, Trumpet and Horn selections with independent volume, pan and pitch control.
Tube Synth is designed to leverage the next generation of advanced analogue modelling technology first debuted in their desktop plugin synth Vacuum Pro.
