Manytone Music has announced ManyStation, a new workstation synthesizer providing "detailed and highly playable sounds". Some of the real instrument soundsets include between 20 and 60 multi-samples for high levels of detail, with special layers (such as slides, string noise and guitar palm mutes). The ManyStation also allows extensive programming and comes with onboard FX (including chorus, distortion, delay and reverb).

Over 1GB of sounds cover multisampled acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, cellos and vintage hardware synths. There are hundreds of presets covering drums, percussion, pads and FX. All samples have been hand edited by Manytone with "painstaking" attention to sonic fidelity, usability and noise levels.

ManyStation uses the Wusikstation engine and allows user soundsets as well as soundsets in Wusikstation and DashSignature EVE formats to be imported. Naturally all of the Wusikstation functionality is available in ManyStation.

The ManyStation will see use in a wide variety of musical situations and will be available during February 2005 priced at US$99.

Audio clips and a demo version will be available soon.
