Analog Empire: Plucks & Keys is a premium MSoundFactory instrument offering over 30 deeply sampled real synth multi-samples — the sounds are captured from actual hardware rather than modelled, which is where the rich analog character comes from. The instrument allows you to layer two distinct sounds and dynamically blend them based on the key played or velocity, so timbre changes across the keyboard or with playing strength rather than staying uniform. Sound shaping is handled through unique "pluck" and "drift" controls, a multi-mode filter, a precise amp envelope, and an effects section featuring chorus, ducking reverb, and a lo-fi tape effect — plus, depending on the listing, four types of modulation effects (tremolo, phaser, flanger, chorus), a lush shimmer reverb, and mastering tools. There are 32 carefully crafted pluck and key sounds to choose from, and the instrument supports MPE compatibility. It suits expressive melodies, emotive arpeggios, and rhythmic chord progressions, and is included for free with MSoundFactory and MSoundFactoryLE — a free MSoundFactory Player is required where it is not already owned. Formats are VST, VST3, AU, and AAX on Windows 8/10/11 (64-bit) and macOS 10.14 and newer (64-bit) with native Apple Silicon ARM CPU support. #AnalogEmpire #PlucksAndKeys #MeldaProduction #MSoundFactory #AnalogSynth #Plucks #Keys #VirtualInstrument #Layering #MPE #SoundDesign #ElectronicMusic #Cinematic #MusicProduction #VST #VST3 #AU #AAX #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro
