Wusik EVE 3 has been released

Tweet

Wusik EVE V3 has been released for both Windows (VST) and MAC (VST/AU), plus, both Full and Demo versions  now come with a complete library of sounds. The new Xenos Soundworks and the old Famous Keys sets 1, 2, 3 and 4. (LoFi Retro Sounds). And Wusik will keep bundling the Mellotronix, Zvon and the DBear Genesis sets, (each set has its own ZIP file).

EVE takes these vintage sounds and this early approach to ‘electronic’ music production as a starting point, bringing this general philosophy and sound into the modern virtual environment with an intuitive and powerful interface. At the core of the EVE approach to sound design is the basic structure of 3 sample-playing layers, 2 multi-effect racks, and a selected library of multisampled ‘electric keyboards’.

This enables the blending of several waveforms and instruments into a vintage wall of sound, or alternatively, the use of the 3 layers multi-timbrally as a vintage workstation. These layers can then be further processed through EVE’s powerful multi-effect racks.

EVE features a well designed system of parameters for tweaking instruments and effects towards musical results, with all parameters accessible on a single page for easy and intuitive sound design.

Using EVE is just like having the vintage boxes at your fingertips. If only it was this easy back in the day!
