Retro Keyboards and Plugsound Pro.

Each instrument included in Retro Keyboards is organized into "families" of presets to simulate the essential vocabulary of these classic keyboard, including Amp simulator, Tremolo, Vinyl emulation, and much more.

These presets can be designed thanks to the Plugsound Pro sound design section, which allows you to add up to four effects per instruments, from classy convolution reverberation to analog modeled Chorus and Flanger, from a Studio Limiter to high-class EQ... This section also provides Filters and 4 LFOs per instrument. And don't forget that Plugsound Pro can import up to 64 Retro Keyboards instruments for creative layers and splits, and much more.

Stage!

Also, control your effects, filters and LFOs with any MIDI keyboard: Each parameter can be automated in Plugsound Pro thanks to the instant MIDI-Learn feature.

Extremely dedicated for the stage and any live applications.
