The Yellow Tools modular virtual instruments are a combination of the highest-end sound samples with an innovative audio engine. Powerful features, an intelligent user interface and an optimised engine for the simultaneous use of several thousand sound samples enable immediate access to hundreds of patches.

The intelligent polyphony management enables the adjustment of the instruments to the power of the system and the subdivision into multis with up to 8 layers allows the user to modify, create and save all settings to customize the instruments by individual criteria. The amazing results of the yellow tools modular virtual instruments are made possible by powerful MIDI processing that includes a keyswitch option, a highly-optimised engine for low CPU load, Basic and Pro editor modes for easy and custom manipulation of layers and keygroups, intuitive and custom adjustable features for each instrument and also cross platform plug-in compatibility.
