UJAM Virtual Pianist VIBE

Full Description

The only substitute for a world-class pianist

Combining the melody and rhythm, piano playing has a particular role in music that's hard to nail unless you're a seasoned professional. VIBE is like having access to a professional pianist in your studio 24 hours a day, without the unwanted headache and cost of setting up studio sessions. Complementing the band, VIBE has been meticulously designed to cover a wide range of musical genres, holding down everything from soul, R&B, jazz, blues, classic rockabilly or even contemporary EDM. Just pick and choose from the 40 styles, trigger the phrases and adjust to your sessions. Encompassed in the Styles are everything from simple, basic chords, funky rhythms, classic pop ballads or even spaced-out and abstract solo ideas. Everything you could ever need to complement your arrangement.

One finger fun

Maybe you're not a pianist but are looking for the interactive feel of performing in your melody or chords rather than punching in MIDI notes. Fortunately, UJAM have you covered with their intelligent player modes. Simply select the key that your song is in, switch to Player mode and let VIBE do the rest.

Now, you can play chords with just one finger, allowing you to move around the basic outlying notes of the chords or melodies and let the intelligent algorithm generate chords for you. Scaled with three different modes from Simplified, Universal and Complex, you can select the range of musicality in the notes that VIBE generates. It doesn't just move up and down notes in a pre-made scale or pattern but instead, changes voices and inversions across the full keyboard range for a realistic feel. Even if you play multiple notes simultaneously, it will overwrite its processing for in-key, accurate sounds.

Of course, for experienced players, Instrument mode is included to allow you to freely perform as you would with any other MIDI keyboard library.

Harness the unique sounds throughout the decades

The electric piano has cemented its place in contemporary music for decades and over the years has presented itself with different aesthetics which are represented in the five character switches. From the classic electric piano sound in Round to the bell-like sounds of early models with Bell mode. From slightly damped warm tones of prepared models in Soft modes to the funky midrange of dirtier sounding models with Bark to the artificial sounding, glossy tones of the '80s onwards with Hype.

Custom-tuned effects

The electric piano in nature lends itself to being processed with FX and for that reason, Virtual Pianist VIBE has been packed with a variety of custom-tuned FX. Expanded over previous Virtual Instruments, VIBE includes not only FX preset changes, but each preset alters the sounds on a sample level, ensuring a huge variety of musical expressions with each sound you choose. There's everything from small colour changes with stereo phasers, hi-fi chorus and modern studio compression to transformative presets which encompass extreme modulation and distortion. Packed with 45 different Finisher FX and 45 ambience FX, there's enough onboard to provide you with enough inspiration to keep your musical creativity high in the studio.
