![Writing Music with 80's Synths - UVI Vintage Vault [REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k94X54F75hY/mqdefault.jpg)
This could literally be the only synth you need if you're not into building synth patches from scratch. Wow. This is majestic
But who wants their music to sound like everyone else.
Can you imagine Jean-Michel Jarre build his career on presets?
OKAY. I literally just paused this video right in the middle to say that this is an ENORMOUS improvement to this system. Just awesome. WAY MORE USABLE than what we've seen before, and I love this format and feel free to propagate it right through your products.
Agree!
UVI knows the value of having Venus Theory on their promotional team. Very inspirational overview! I’m hyped to create.
I totally agree , I was presented the overview option by UVI. I choose Cameron 😎! Then I will take a peak at the overview.
Definitely true! Venus Theory/Cameron is one of the best presenters/reviewers out there. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and that silky DJ voice just grabs your ears, and won't let go. OK!! I admin it...I'm a fanboy!!!
Glad to be of service! May the power of the 'stache be with you 🤠
This is an amazing new UI. I wish the Synth Anthology 4 could read other Vintage Vault libraries you have installed and include them automatically as sound sources. That would make life so much easier!
Looks nice! They better be working on a falcon UI update.......simple version plz
@@bassc Falcon needs a lot of improvements in terms of UX. But it is a challenge to make something complex intuitive and easy to use for sure.
Good to see MPE support
This is an incredible upgrade. One of the best instruments you have made to date. The UI update makes this so much easier to use and many of the new sounds are just delicious. Well done!
Huge improvement and a really meaningful UX improvement. Wonderful to see.
Those were some amazing sounds, especially the percussive ones at the end that you created blew my socks off. So much so I just bought the UVI NKS bundle! Keep up the good work!
Great overview and nice examples, Cameron!! 🙂👍
Felt very weird not being called a buckaroonie.
I only pull that out on special occasions.
Great overview as always Cameron. Buying this as soon as I get home from work. Lol, the video I was planning on releasing this weekend will now have to wait!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great demo, very useful. Thanks!
just received the email about this and instantly went on a search for a vid featuring your face to explain what it is :)
you convinced me to buy it ... great job man
High praise for MPE support!
Cool sounds and presets with lot of features 👍
the simular sound feature was in the xo vst by xln audio i like that they look at all the other benifts/problems of other vst and solve them into one and romove the un nesity for multipule vst just use uvi
Man, if they’re about to fix that Falcon UI next we’re in business!
I love it. It reminds of the Kontakt player series UI. But cooler. Because it's UVI
And I ALREADY loved it!
Awesome!!!💯💯❤❤
Great to have Cameron on this, i love his reviews! Cant wait to upgrade!
Ooo😮Henry its you?) Do you lt products UVI too?😊❤ Great!!
haha yeah I love UVI! @@sainthmrs
I like how he doesn't say the full "Howdy-Doody Buckaroonies" because Buckaroonies is the official name for the Venus Theory fanbase, which this channel is not.
Side note: This plugin looks gorgeous. Thanks UVI!
Actually stopped specifically for certain users who shall remain nameless and their apparent delicate sensibilities. 🤠
The buckaroonie will ride another day.
yay...I am downloading it atm...awesome
you just made my day...cheers
i think it is a good/quick way to get quick ideas or add to your accompanying leads
Bought it and love the Venus presets.
One of the best sounding plugins I’ve ever used and super easy too use and create new patches.
In a future version it’d be cool if you could use uvi products you own but use this interface.
So for example you could load model d in part a/digital synstation in part b.
Then use the in depth fx and modulation options and layering to create some amazing sounds
🤠
We’ll take my 50 bucks for the upgrade from Anthology 3
This is amazing! Sound quality is amazing 🤗
Sounds great and a fairly simple layout. What keyboard setup are you using?
amazing!
Looks like quite an upgrade! My only issue with v.3 was that the delay/echo was always tempo based. Has UVI considered the option of timed delays?
UVI is the gift that keeps on giving. Almost a shame for all the thousands of synth enthusiasts who keep spending money on the other plugings, not knowing that Falcon and the rest of the UVI family can handle almost anything.
The new GUI script looks great. I am trying to find a comparison of content versus the previous version. I don't see it on the UVI website. I see a list of all the synths sampled for the sound set. The upgrade price seems pretty good.
Looking for same
the previous version was 13 gb this one is 20gb i hope it has more synths that were missing in the previous version
2nd try to install. Hope it works this time. Don’t wanna wait another 18hrs.
Say no more, im getting!!!!
Aaaaagggghhhh - Just got this - fabbbbb! I'm not that excited really...
I was quite dissapointed with Synth Anthology 3, but this is defitnly a great improvement and the upgrade price is not bad
I cannot find any information on if this is NKS 2.0 compatible or not (most likely not). It looks like this plays inside of either Falcon 2 or UVI Workstation, if I am reading correctly. Getting ready to pick up a new Kontrol MK3 and would love to see this on it.
Is there midi mapping for prev/next sound?
And also for next/prev similar sounds?
This basic functionality has become a dealbreaker for any purchase.
Midi mapping is only usable when preset browsing is also midi mappable. So i am not talking about program changes. Just midi mapping for those buttons < >
Can you create a user folder to save presets?
@UVIOfficial what is a couple of the better midi keyboards that work better with your software ecosystem? I’m trying to make things as seamless and monetarily as possible for me to afford.
Does this still include the sampled waveforms from the "sub" layer in version 3 or have they been removed?
My thought too.
@@jenslempke7501 It wasn't just the raw waveforms but the PD/PWM modulation feature that was quite useful as well. Hopefully someone from UVI will tell us, though I have a nasty feeling the old sub waves have been done away with.
5:30 is so pure
This looks incredible. But, how do you resize the window using UVI Workstation? The GUI is frustratingly TINY.
In options button man
Is there no swing function in the arp?
Beat Anthology next 😁
What keyboard are you using in this demo?
Heyo! That's the Casio PX-S7000 - recently upgraded from my old Keylab since the keys were wearing out and loving it so far! I miss the faders and knobs, but that's why I bought that Sparrow 5x5 (black knobby thing) to use along with it.
Ayooooo what's that lil midi controller he's rocking with tho
👌💜
I just downloaded and installed uvi workstation but didn't get all this sounds and stuff
Just got some lil one's
Pls how can i get them all
great video, great sound, I'm updating. May I know the name of your midi controller 5 rotary faders and sliders please?
The Sparrow 5x5 midi controller
Heyo! That's a Sparrow 5x5 - it's a USB midi controller surface thing, relatively cheap and super useful since upgrading my keyboard. Awesome for automating stuff!
And here is the MPE showcase. Yes!!
ua-cam.com/video/LgT33je5JX4/v-deo.html
Just remember this is all audio samples, not real ACB emulators like Roland does.
Meaning for instance when changing cutoff filter while pressing a note, the changes are not real time.
Good if you are into presets, but for sound design not so much.
what midi keyboard is this Cameron?
Yo! This is a Casio PX-S7000
UVI Can't find synth anthology 3 samples since I udpate, what shloud I do?
Who can i install Synth Antholohy to have those features like the advanced browser and not like it runs in falcon or uvu workstation? It looks like you are running it without any player
PLEASE, add a cmd+Z function. If I change settings and want to go back it's not possible.
Is there a Sampler Anthology? Cause we need that as well!
Some of the old Iconic Sampler sounds are Covered but not many. They offer Emulator 2, Fairlight, and Synclavier as individual Instruments tough.
@@y-tekbass4572 They have Beatbox Anthology 2. It's got over 100 drum machines, but alas no classic sampler recreations. Maybe someday I will have a software with all the MPCs, SPs, ST, OPs, etc. 🤞
Is it NKS compatible?
I didn't receive upgrade price?
Did Instanty buy, but unfortunately Synth Anthology 4 has some serious bugs in UVI Workstation. FX cannot be accessed anymore like it was possible in SA2 and SA3 (no visible parameters in the Effects Tab only Rack Effect, some Patches have Reverb and Delay, some not, no chorus). And on startup it asks for Falcon Libraries and samples. I'm so dissapointed. The general concept is brilliant, but a the broken FX System needs to be repaired. Contacted Support.
Does anyone know the name of the button box he uses in the second half of the video? (With 5 knobs and 5 faders).
I learned from another comment that it's a Sparrow 5x5. Very nice. If you're made of money, I'd like an orange one please.
@@AutPen38 Thanks! $175 for five encoders and five faders is preposterous. God this hobby is expensive 😵
@@Clovis5119 Indeed. You'll just have to start a popular music production channel on YT and hope the manufacturer sends you a free one for an unbiased "review". (Although Cameron might have actually bought his one).
Ummm guys how big is the install size? Anyone?
400 presets are mentioned, but they are 4000+, right?
UVI is French good 👍🏻
I have the 3, my question is what are the new synths added in 4. Are the new sounds just layers of the old ones. Which would make it just new combi presets or are there totally new synths. Anybody know where I can find what the New synths are?
There's a list on a page via the above link. Apart from thatx downloading the manual shows a lists of presets and layered sounds.
Looks like a _great_ upgrade but I find it not only odd but questionable as to why there's not a simple list of all the additional synths added. (Going by the specs of both v.3 and v.4, it appears to be about 132 synths to about 200.)
Does this new version 4 completely overwrite version 3 or is version 4 a separate install? Thanks in advance
Hey, can someone help me understand what this is?
I am trying to find information on what elements of the synths have been sampled. It doesn't appear that these are trying to be exact emulations, instead opting to go give users the core sound of each synth and a set of tweakable parameters that are general and not specific recreations/emulations of the original and individual synths.
Is thee core sound an 'Init patch'?
For example the Korg Wavestate, Prologue and Dave.S Take 5, are amongst the synths in this bundle.
How have these synths been virtually synthesized/sampled/recreated in virtual form?
How much of each individual instrument is imparted in these emulations.
Korg already have a Wavestate VST, which clearly has been designed to be a replica of the hardware, with the same sonic engine and all the soundscultping possibilitys and parameters as the hardware.
Whereas UVI Synth anthology, seems to provide a picture of the chosen synth and generalized parameters that are consistent/universal to every synth in the UVI bundle.
Are the included presets from the original synths or made by UVI?
I would have liked to have articulated all the above in a more understandable manner.
If anyone can make sense of what I am trying to ask and have answers, I would greatly appreciate hearing/reading them.
"MACHINES INCLUDED
Synth Anthology 4 includes 3,500 sound layers created on 200 hardware synthesizers, expertly programmed, recorded, and edited."
I am not sure what the above quotation means. 3,500 sounds/noises created from/out of the 200 synths?
Unique presets made by UVI, that we get to play with?
Simple answer-yes-this is 3500 presets made from the list of synths that you can then manipulate/tweak/effect to your liking. It's generally preferable for people like myself who don't like synth programming but rather enjoy spending more time making music.
In some cases it's a multisample of a famous preset, in others it's a "professionally produced" sound made from a synth that didn't even have presets (like early Moogs). Many of the sounds have reverb and delay added, but the levels can be tweaked or disabled entirely. You can also alter the ADSR envelopes. It's mainly to be used as a "preset machine", a bit like Kontakt libraries. I think the new version clocks in at 20gig of HD space which is nothing compared omnisphere or an orchestra sample set, but UVI MST have done something clever with the multisampling and looping, because the sound quality is excellent. Some of the synths only have a few presets, but others have quite a lot. It would take a long time just to audition them all.
Whats the main differences between 3 and 4?
Major changes to the interface. The dual synth programming adds lots of options. But I think the 'Like' sounds buttons - finding things that sound similar to what you have loaded - is so much better that poking through a list of 'String' or 'Lead' patches. That in itself makes the upgrade worth it.
xmas arrived again
have version 2
I can just hear my CPU crackling now
Thats actually one of the benefits of sampled synths like this is that they use much less cpu than something like uhe Diva that is a pure synth and rather this streams the samples from your hard drive and then uses your cpu for effects which is far more efficient.
@@st.thomas5802 good to know looking forward to getting this when it comes out
I feel all presets have the same sound/color.. must be because of the reverb ..
"Synth Anthology 4 includes 4,000+ sound layers created on 200 hardwares synthesizers,
expertly programmed, recorded, and edited."
Is the above statement saying that, Synth anthology 4 is a package compromised of, 4,000 presets, made using 200 synths.?
As opposed to; synth anthology being a package that consists of, 200 virtual replicas of the included synths.?
You certainly don't get full replicas of 200 synths. You get a few thousand tweakable presets that are based on multisamples recorded from 200 different synths. e.g. You'll get 20-ish Minimoog sounds, a dozen from the KorgmM1, some classics from the Roland D-50 etc. Some of the synths are quite rare and there's some crossover with UVI's Vintage Vault, but there's plenty of good stuff for anyone making electronic music who just wants a high quality "preset machine" with limited tweakability, rather than having a hundred knobs and sliders for each machine.
So it's like Analog Lab.
Analog lab is not sample based so they are completely different 😅
bough it and it didn't convince me😏
Cameron, you didn't say "buckaroonies"... what is going on?
I mean if I say it all the time, how will I make you feel special? With great power comes great responsibility.
Glad to see vinny peeny panini taking the stage here
What upgrade price?
49 eur
@@diemcarpeproduction too much
I regretted buying Synth Anthology 3 i found most of the sounds to be LP filtered making the need of stuff like OTT or adding a top layer.
The presets were also crap they should've stucked to the synths original presets.
If the sounds and presets have improved i might upgrade and not letting v3 go yo waste.
The simple ui doesn’t promote any inspiration at all wish UVI would promote more photo realism in there vst ui
The presets get less and less usable…
I've always found UVI stuff underwhelming. I had the sub and the pianos to my ears felt pretty lifeless.
That is because is audio samples, not really hardware emulator
pe....s theory
The one and only.
Another user experience fail from UVI. This sounds lovely, of course, but they do prioritise things looking all crisp and neat and tidy (and small), over absolute usability for the musician. Spectrasonics (in particular Omnisphere) gets this balance just about right more often than most.
i thought this was a collection of emulated hardware syths. But it is only a sample collection....yawn...
the synth photos of the previous edition were low quality tiny and all green, now the keyboards they represent are not even distinguishable they made them cartoonish and with no color at all ... makes the product look low quality
I share the opinion about the line drawings not being particularly useful, but I think there is a copyright/licensing issue with including photos. Some of the synths that were sampled are even given coded names, as if Roland can't guess what RLD J60 represents.
@@AutPen38 I don't know about the legal issue behind this ik multimedia's syntronik used high quality graphics to represent the keyboards that they sampled and the result was somewhat superior to synth anthology ... maybe by photoshopping the brand logo they could've ended with a better result 😕
@@pepinillosazucarados6743 I think the colour pictures in Syntronik are more pleasant (and the recreations of the front panels are quite beautiful) but I personally find the user interface of the UVI products is slightly better, especially for skipping from one preset to another in a speedy manner. The naming thing always amuses me a bit. IKM mentions the full names of most of the original synths on its website, but still codes the instruments as things like "Harpy 260" for the ARP 2600 and "Bully" for the Moog Taurus in the interface itself. It's all a bit silly, but some companies are definitely quite possessive over various intellectual copyrights. I think Cherry Audio had to officially rename one of its Moog clones because of a cease & desist order.
I actually quite like the new understated look as I mostly disliked the former fluorescent green 80s one.
