UVI / The Beast Software Sound Source (Synthesizer)

A collection of three instruments that capture the gorgeous and memorable sound of 70s FM workstations.

■Software Instruments & Synthesizers

In 1975, electronics developed for NASA were used to create a machine brimming with luxury for the musical elite. This revolutionary instrument began as a gorgeous FM synthesizer and evolved through repeated expansions into a massive workstation. It was introduced into professional studios and became a sensation, widely used by sound-conscious musicians and avant-garde artists alike, including Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Sting, Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder, and Depeche Mode.
