After months working on their new UVI-Engine (used in MachFive and other hot software), Ultimate Sound Bank is proud to present their new virtual instrument "Plugsound PRO". Basically, Plugsound PRO is THE ultimate sound workstation dedicated to both studio or live performances. Users can easily manage instruments and grooves in a single ergonomic interface. Plugsound PRO includes a massive 8 Gb core library that can be extended indefinitely through specific extension cards just like we use to do in dedicated synths like the Roland JV series.
