Plugsound Pro by UVI is a Virtual Instrument Audio Plugin and Soundware (e.g. Samples or presets that load into other products). It includes, and is therefore 'powered by', UVI Workstation, which functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin and an AAX Plugin. Does anyone have/use PlugSound? What's your opinion? I download their free VST plugin which has about 25 really impressive sounds:.

Plugsound volume 1 - Keyboard Collection: Features acoustic Pianos in classical, jazz and pop styles, and alternative sounds like Honky-Tonk and Detuned. It also featured a best-of selection of famous “suitcase-style” electric pianos from the most respected manufacturers of these bygone instruments. A wealth of Clavinets, Electric Organs and Synth-based keyboard sounds complete the modern part of the collection. Featured traditional keyboard instruments include Church Organs, Accordion, Celesta, Vibraphone, Music box & Xylophone.

Finally, an extensive Harpsichord section benefits from the new “Release Trigger” feature that allows realistic recreation of this difficult instrument. Synth sounds can be found on volume 5 of Plugsound. Keyboard instruments may seem simple to reproduce in a library, but that’s only true when you let presets take hundreds of megabytes, and it doesn’t automatically make the sounds better.

Most users don’t have that much RAM to devote to their sounds, or don’t want to wait endlessly for a sequence to load. Enter Plugsound: the sound design team worked really hard and went out of their way to ensure that all instruments use the amount of RAM they need, and no more. Why create a 200 MB Piano if you can achieve a better sound with 96 MB? In return, this extra work allowed the team to include more sounds in the 650 MB sample library, and make sure that this collection is as complete as it can ever be.

Plugsound volume 2 - Fretted Instruments: Kicks off with an acoustic guitar section. It includes a Nylon guitar custom-made by acclaimed maker Gerome, and a wonderful “spanish-style” nylon guitar. Moving on to steel strings, a 12 strings and several 6 strings acoustics (from prestigious makers like Guild™, Martin™, Gerome and Maruha) are featured. 3ds max gotovie scene 2.

Many Dobro and Bottleneck presets add their unique color to the acoustic section. The electric guitar section packs several clean Strat’ sounds through D.I. Or amps like Jazz Chorus or Twin reverb. Are especially handy if you own an amp modeling effect plug-in. Distorted Strat’ is included too, captured with the ubiquitous SM57. The legendary Gibson Les Paul™ is next, sampled through several different amps.

The electric section then provides the Gibson 335, Jazz guitars, muted playing style guitars, etc. The bass section starts with an awesome selection of Double Basses. Then a wide range of electric bass is covered, both fretted and fretless, including all the classic instruments like Jazz Bass, and many others, covering all current styles.

And it’s not all: volume two include many more sounds like some superb Harp presets and many “ethnic” sounds. The Ethnic section includes a great selection of usually very rare multisamples like Banjo, Mandolin, Celtic guitar, Lute, Sitar (and electric Sitar), Baglamas, Bozouki, Jubus, Oud, Lute from Morocco, Saz and Tzouras. Plugsound volume 3 - Drum & Percs Elements: Focuses on drum and percussion sounds. It's a superb collection of 5000 drum sounds, noted for its versatile and professional characteristics. It goes further than any module ever did, thanks to its massive 540 MB sample library.

Acoustic Drum kits are sorted by style: Jazz kits, Natural kits (Brushes and Hot Rods), Raw kits (for pop and rock) and Treatment kits (distortion, gate and spring reverbs.). Next comes the electronic drum section.

The first folder offers a selection of sounds sorted by machines from which they originates. From the 70’s to the 90’s there are not many missing boxes in this selection. All the classics are there, and a good number of forgotten models as well! The Stylistic kits offer another wide selection of electronic drums which are not so instantly recognizable, and are sorted by style rather than by machine: drums for Dance, Electro, Groove, House, Techno, Trash, Jungle, Disco, Lo-Fi, Vinyl With so many presets available, emphasis was put on the ease of use. This is why each drum sound is accessible in three ways. To complete this rhythmic arsenal, an extraordinary percussion selection is supplied. It features more than 60 different instruments such as Congas, Djembe, Bongos, Shakers, Triangle, Tambourine, Castanets, Windchimes, Clave, Darbuka, Woodblock, Berimbau, Timbales, Rainstick and many more.
