Montreal, QC, Canada : Award wining Virtual Instrument development company, AIR Music Technology and Audio Software Distribution Service Plugivery are proud to announce that they have joined forces to announce the release of not ONE but SEVEN new inspiring Virtual Instruments.
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.
Leveraging this history of excellence, AIR is back in a big way for 2022. The new range of virtual instrument plug-ins results from nearly five years of development drawn from twenty years of experience and creating exciting new soft-synths.
The 7 new plug-ins support VST, VST 3, AU and AXX formats and also operate as standalone desktop software for "Plug and Play" performance with any midi controller.
Note: All these NEW products do not support/require the use of iLok. Instead, AIR has developed a convenient login based system to authorize the following brand new plug-ins:
BASSLINE - VACUUM EVOLVED
The Bassline is a monophonic vintage synthesizer featuring Vacuum Tube Synthesis with an evolved version of AIR's vacuum tube circuit modelling technology made first famous by AIR VACCUM. VACCUM if you are not familiar with it, is considered by many the reference Synth for Avid's Protools.
