Broadway Big Band is a HALion Player based sound library produced by Fable Sounds and distributed exclusively by SONiVOX. Broadway Big Band is a virtual instrument for musicians, composers, and producers looking for a state of the art collection of big band brass, woodwinds and rhythm section instruments with flexibility for any style of music. Broadway Big Band weighs in at 100 Gigabytes and delivers a huge array of big band instrument articulations, velocity layers, multiple takes and multiple mic positions. Moreover, the Broadway Performer performance tool allows users to harness this huge... [more]

Suitcase Electric Piano is part of the DVI Series (Downloadable Virtual Instruments), powered by Tascam's GVI (Giga Virtual Instrument). Suitcase Electric Piano delivers the classic electric piano sound. 6 velocity layers comprising 230 Mb of sample data give you all the dynamic range this instrument is capable of. On board chorus and tremolo depth controls offer more flexibility to dial in the sound you need.... [more]

American Zither is powered by Tascam's GVI (Giga Virtual Instrument). A Zither is a stringed instrument having usually 30 to 40 strings over a shallow horizontal soundboard and played with pick and fingers. However, the American Zither library were performed not with pick or fingers, but with wooden mallets. Zithers come from many different cultures. They represent such a fundamental concept in string instrument design that it is not uncommon for many types to come from one area. Numbers of strings can vary widely, various sizes and shapes exist (add some frets and you've got a guitar, for ex... [more]

Continuous Velocity Piano is based on spectral morphing. Eliminating the need for many bulky, discrete sample layers, spectral morphing technology produces continuous, spectral variation by processing only a single baseline sample velocity. Using the baseline as a starting point, the spectral morphing filters then dynamically interpolate frequency characteristics, which can then be continuously morphed during and after musical notes are played. The result is far greater musicality with over ten times the amount of dynamic expression. Another benefit is that instruments are much smaller in memo... [more]

Giga Virtual Instrument (GVI) is the first plug-in sampler instrument powered by the Giga sampling engine. GVI is a 16-part multi-timbral sampler with unlimited polyphony performance and the ability to run multiple instances - limited only by the power of your computer. GVI takes advantage of the latest Giga technology, like 96kHz/24-bit sample support, iMIDI rules for realistic phrasing and embedded GigaPulse technology for instrument resonance and ambience. GVI offers comprehensive editing features with a a sampler engine designed to provide rich, dense sounds that can be tweaked and manip... [more]

Malmsjo GVI is an enhanced version of Art Vista's sampled Malmsjo Grand Piano. Malmsjo GVI has been given a substantial face-lift, and an increase in dynamic range, by the use of the new DEF technology offered by Tascam in its Giga software. To prepare the Malmsjo samples for this new technology, Art Vista optimized the recorded samples from the lowest level. The result is an instrument with pristine audio representation from the very intimate, to "larger-than-life" presentations. Malmsjo GVI has also been enhanced with eight-level release sample ambience from a medium size hall wit... [more]

The Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar is a pedal steel library that is fully playable in realtime. Instead of relying on pre-recorded licks and loops, the Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar uses single-note samples fused with GVI's powerful filters and modelling tools to put all ten bendable strings of E9th tuning right under your fingers. Programmed with 8-way round-robin samples per note (Lite Edition contains 2), the full version of the Wavelore pedal steel is rounded out with a number of GigaPulse amp models, full neck position control, open (natural) harmonics, and "chordal mode", for long s...

Plectrum is a 7.5 Gb virtual instrument library featuring 185 original acoustic instruments, powered by Tascam's GVI streaming sample playback engine. Plectrum is the brainchild of Geoffrey Gee, pianist, composer, and former Senior Soundware Engineer at Kurzweil Music Systems. Much more than a tool or content library, Plectrum is a creative work of instrument design. Gee created his instruments from sounds made by plucking, strumming, tapping, scraping, and flicking a range of stringed instruments and found objects. Collecting thousands of full length high resolution samples, he voiced and tun... [more]
