UVI Vintage Vault 3 £510
The market is saturated with new soft-synth sounds that pay homage to their analogue forebears. Some are uninspired facsimiles that recreate but fail to iterate on well-remembered hardware synthesisers. Others, such as those locked away inside UVI’s Vintage Vault 3, manage to tip their cap to the synths of yesteryear while giving their features a contemporary overhaul.
PUNCHING THROUGH THE VU
UVI libraries have always been impressive, with their slew of instrumental toys and acoustic keyboard instruments, array of whooshes and rises, and stupendous collection of String Machines and Yamaha-style FM synthesisers. Given how polished and adaptable its sounds tend to be, the Parisian company’s libraries represent real value for money.
