Melda Production have released Analog Empire: Plucks & Keys, a new software instrument offering vintage synth sounds that joins Pads & Strings in their Analog Empire series for MSoundFactory. The instrument is available now and will be completely free to download until 8 June 2025.
Built around over 30 deeply sampled real synthesizers, Plucks & Keys provides users the ability to combine two separate sound sources per preset. The interface features a central blend control, velocity-based switching and flexible shaping tools which include filters, drift and pluck controls. A built-in effects section includes chorus, reverb, tape saturation, and more.
Key features include:
- 32 analogue-style sounds, each multisampled and processed for warmth and character
- Dual-layer engine with blend control and per-layer tone shaping
- Filter, amp envelope and effects section for fast, hands-on sound design
- Designed for MSoundFactory with full support for MSoundFactory Player
