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.
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!
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!

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!

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.
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
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!
@@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.
@@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).
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
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?
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.
@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.
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?
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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. 🤞
"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.
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.
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.
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.

Agree!
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.
