Advanced virtual instrument technology

Advanced features include MIDI control of nearly all parameters, 256-note polyphony per instrument, ultra-low latency, efficient disk streaming for fast preset loading, all driven by the world-renowned UVI Engine XT™, known for its superb sound quality, universal plug-in compatibility and stand-alone operation.

Universal compatibility:
as a plug-in or stand-alone

The Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank is a UVI-based library that runs in the free UVI Workstation instrument software, which is compatible with all major plug-in formats on Mac and Windows, so you can easily run it your favorite host software. UVI Workstation also runs as a stand-alone application, turning any laptop or desktop computer into the ultimate electric keyboard instrument.

The Encore Soundbank is also fully compatible with MachFive 3, allowing you to load sounds side by side with all of your other MachFive 3 libraries.



Studio-quality FX

The Encore Soundbank takes full advantage of the massive effects processing power of MachFive 3 and the UVI engine XT. The presets make extensive use of mastering-quality EQ, keyboard-oriented modulation FX, vintag and modern delays, filters, compressors and limiters, stereo imaging, overdrive, distortion and, of course, stellar reverb effects, including the acclaimed UVI SparkVerb.
