Description: Synth pop icon of the 80’s & 90’s
Best of VFX is a collection of custom-sampled virtual instruments wrapped in a new interface for MainStage/Logic and Kontakt – crafted from the ground up to evoke the unmistakeable synth pop sounds of the Ensoniq VFX, popular from the late-80s through the early 90s.
On the heels of the Roland D-50 – the first synth to feature built-in high-quality effects – the VFX had its own unique sound and could easily produce slick, production-ready sounds right out of the box. Like most Ensoniq keyboards, it had a very airy, hi-fi character but with a characteristic punch not found elsewhere. As with DX Dreams, the raw sounds were recorded with extreme attention to detail through British 1073-style preamps and/or various analog tape models, so you get those iconic sounds captured with the best sonic presentation possible.
As a smaller niche instrument, Best of VFX comes with 20 custom source sounds that cover the “must-have” flavors of this synth, and it will be expanded with additional content over time.
