Imagine one instrument where you can find all the synth sounds you love. One instrument with a huge diversity of sound, with simple access to the presets, and great sound shaping tools: Ultra Focus is that instrument.
Sounds from all the biggest synthesizers.
In the past, a song you made could have included synths sounds from a variety of sources: modules, keyboards, even a good sampler…
The Ultra Focus sound design team used every Landmark synth made in the last 30 years to create the most versatile sound palette ever put together in a single instrument. These brand new sounds will remind musicians of old standards, yet offer better programming and a vastly improved sound quality. Forget about learning to use five synths to produce the sounds you need, free yourself of all the extra gear to make them sound good: with Ultra Focus you’ve arrived!
The next step is to create your own sounds. One great way of doing this is by mixing patches from synthesis that don’t sound the same: FM and wavetables, for example. Thanks to the dual layer architecture, this is done with a speed and an ease that has ever been experienced before...!
Great sound shaping tools at your fingertip.
The dual layer architecture means you can mix and match all the included presets to create your own sound. this is the easiest technique to create a fat bass sound, a rich pad, etc. Each layer is complete with a great arsenal of synthesis tools: multimode filter, LFOs, envelopes... And a global section with more filters and LFOs. This amounts to a fantastic arsenal of sound shaping tools, all with the acclaimed sound of the UVI Engine. |

Simple to use:
Finding your sounds should be easy. We’ve considered that you might be looking for sounds by type (bass, pad, lead, bells, leads...) and you would also like to find a sound that is typical of a particular synthesis technique:
- Classic Analog
- FM & formant synthesis
- Wavetables
- Vector synthesis
- Additive Sounds
- PCM synths
- Analog Modelling
- Stack & Chords
- Bonus Machines
- Pure waveforms

Questions:
Can I make my own original sounds with Ultra Focus?.
To deliver the most powerful and flexible synth sound collection ever made, Ultra Focus depends on sampling, augmented by a killer synthesis engine. A the end of the chain is a powerful multi-effect allowing very precise tailoring of your sound. All of this has been engineered to help you create your very unique sounds.
Why use samples instead of conventional waveforms?
It's always surprising to discover how faithful sampling can be. The unique character and the power of each synth is immediately heard.Our sound designers used the best hardware equipment to capture every detail of the synth sounds. Esoteric preamps and converters were used to capture the samples. The synth audio signal was also massaged with tube or class A compressors and equalizers, depending on what sounded best. Sampling is really the best technology available today for larger than life sounds.
So sampling has become the must-have technology?
All our expensive outboard gear will improve anything, it's not just for million-dollar vocal sessions. The ultimate signal chain employed has produced incredibly dynamic and lively synth sounds, turning the heads of everyone who has heard them. We've devoted 8 GB to the largest waveform set any synth has ever had, and the sounds are unlike any sample sound bank ever made!
Sampling allows Ultra Focus to cover an amazingly diverse panel of synthesis technique and unite them in just one instrument.
Is it as programmable as another software synth?
The included sounds are at the core of a highly flexible synthesizer. The UVI-Engine is the real virtual synth included in Ultra Focus. So yes, there is a virtual synth inside, that surpasses the majority of hardware and software instruments available today. Refined over several years, the UVI-Engine is one of the best sounding instrument ever designed. Listen to the filters or the mono legato, for example: the difference with other instruments is staggering, even for hardened session players. So the sampled library is just the beginning of your journey through synthesis. Think of Ultra Focus as a huge collection of hardware synths, used as building blocks of your own mega-synth!
What has been improved in the new generation of the UVI Engine?
Because Ultra Focus is using the latest UVI-Engine technology, you can enjoy new refinements that will save invaluable time: all presets are now installed as individual files in a folder of your computer hard disk: you can reorganize the presets in any way you like! Now you can type a preset number directly and avoid the menu navigation. For the same reason Next/Previous preset arrows are supplied for each layer, and much more… |
