Details

The instrument features a collection of 86 patches organized into categories such as ensemble brass, strings, woodwinds, and various solo instruments like cello and trumpet. Each sound is meticulously sampled to reflect the nuances of the original analog circuitry, ensuring that no two notes sound identical. This multi-sampling approach captures the subtle variations that give analog synths their unique character.

In addition to the core sounds, the library includes built-in controls for sound sculpting, allowing for extensive manipulation of the tones. Vintage hardware effects can be applied via separate sliders, enhancing the sonic palette further. The arpeggiator adds rhythmic complexity, making it suitable for both melodic lines and textural layers. With its rich timbre and expressive capabilities, Soloist is well-suited for film scoring, electronic music, and any project requiring a vintage synth aesthetic.
