Univers Sons has introduced UVI Workstation - a free, advanced, universal software instrument workstation, and UVISoundsource.com - a new sound download website dedicated to the UVI community.
"The UVI Workstation and UVISoundsource.com are an unique powerful sound production combination, and mark the most advanced development by the UVI Engine team" said Alain Etchart, Founder and Director of Marketing at Univers Sons. "Years of experience have allowed us to redesign and consolidate our best engine ever. The new UVI Engine XT is stronger, more powerful, and now utilizes an enhanced redesigned audio engine, as well as a new graphic system for greater software compatibility. The UVI Workstation is also a first on the business side: it's FREE. But free doesn't mean limited features, this is one powerful software instrument which we think you will really enjoy."
"We are constantly listening to our customers and their input has really helped us to improve our current software. You'll see the proof of this philosophy in the UVI Workstation. Powered by the UVI Engine XT, the UVI workstation has the muscle, and we think you'll find the design to be the most easy-to-use software workstation ever produced."
