• Top quality preset library.
  
• Full audio and MIDI hardware support.
  
• Synchronization facility, effects processor, audio recorder and arpeggiator.

The Finest in Analog Sounds
The Ultra Analog multimode filters are all about character; They include lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch filter, and formant mode. Make them scream and sweep with the integrated distortion options and and comprehensive modulation provided by LFO's and dedicated envelope generators. At the heart of Ultra Analog are the best alias free oscillators of the industry, featuring standard wave shapes, hard sync, sub oscillators and integrated pitch envelopes for the most impressive evolving and dynamic analog tone you ever heard. Finally, carefully chosen modulation options are provided by two comprehensive LFOs that can be synced to your host sequencer on the fly and feature five wave shapes, pulse width, phase, delay, and fade time parameters. Ultra Analog also provides four loopable velocity sensitive ADSR envelopes generators featuring linear and exponential shapes, sustain time parameter, free run and legato modes, and vibrato, for extensive flexibility.

Make Music Happen
The superb preset library, created by industry leading sound designers, provides a fantastic journey through all the colors of the analog spectrum. Ultra Analog is highly efficient. Find the sound you want fast and tweak it to perfection with the integrated categorized browser and ergonomic interface.
