Customer Feedback:

• Great job on the PSI Vibraphone. It has a wonderful warm tone and is full of character. I particularly love the Vibrato & Muted Bonus patches. Thanks for all the effort you put in to making such great instruments at such fair prices. - Richard Nappi via Disqus.

Music Tech Magazine Value Award

Compared to the sterile sound of many sampled vibraphones, PSI's Vibraphone really captures the character and charm of the real instrument. Given the use of ambient mics placement (in addition to the close mics), you can really feel the air around the instrument, and as a result, the vibraphone tends to sit in the mix in a more naturalistic way. The PSI Vibraphone is a great choice for retro-style tracks, although it can also be a great addition to a virtual orchestra setup, or another productions requiring a more naturalistic vibraphone sound.
