Vintage Legends from UVI delivers the sounds of six classic hardware synthesizers, including the Yamaha CS-70M, CS-40M and CS-20M, the Italian Elka Synthex, the Rhodes Chroma, the Yamaha DX1, the rare DK Synergy, and the classic K250. Over 35,000 samples deliver huge unison spreads, abundant polyphony, thick-modeled filters, drive, reverbs, modulation, effects, and much more.
CS-M 1.5
- Sounds of Yamaha's CS-70M, CS-40M, CS-20M and CS-01 synthesizers
- Dual-layer architecture and instant preset/layer switching makes it a responsive instrument capable of a wide and authentic sound palette
- Layers include all possible base waveforms and noises as well as expertly programmed presets, all created on the original machines
- Unison and ensemble modes sampled
Synthox 1.5
- Elka Synthex made famous by Jean Michel Jarre on his "Rendez vous" EP
- Oscillator design and lush filters deliver a distinctly thick and raw sound
- Dual-layer architecture and instant preset/layer switching makes it a responsive instrument capable of a wide and authentic sound palette
- Layers include all possible base waveforms and noises as well as expertly programmed presets
- Raw waveforms with different configurations of the chorus section sampled
Kroma
- The Rhodes Chroma was one of the first microprocessor-based analog synthesizers designed by ARP
- Built in arpeggiator, step sequencer, LFOs and modeled effects
- Dozens of presets programmed on a fully restored unit including arpeggios, bass, bells, brass, effects, leads, pads, strings, sweeps, from elegant and brassy to analog atmosphere and everywhere in-between
- Basic waveforms sampled to allow for designing new patches
FMX1
- In 1985 Yamaha designed the DX1, constructed in an extremely limited run of 100 units
- Presets range from utility to creative textures and ambiences
- Base waveforms provided for custom programming
- Includes arpeggios, a step sequencer, LFOs and modeled effects
- Includes a true FM synthesis module
U1250
- Conceived by Raymond Kurzweil and developed with consultation from Stevie Wonder, Alan Pearlman, and Robert Moog, the K250 was the first keyboard to produced sound derived from sampled sounds burned onto Read-Only Memory (ROM)
- 88 weighted-keyboard instrument with 24 voices of polyphony
- Later joined by the K1000, a 76-key version which came with additional sounds that was relatively difficult to program due to restrictive front-panel controls
- The U1250 delivers a wide range of sounds from both instruments, including acoustic and electric pianos, bells, mallets, drums, percussion, guitar, bass, pads, wind, brass and other orchestral instruments
- Includes a number of controls that offer easy customization and enhanced sculpting not available in the original hardware
Energy
- The DK Synergy sported 32 oscillators offering sine or triangle wavesforms
- Known primarily for additive synthesis but capable of some FM synthesis as well
- Offers a thorough sampling of the DK Synergy's output
- From FM-styled leads and keyboard sounds to evolving pads, bass and arpeggios
