Pros: An easy way to add lots of useful analog sounds to your library.
Cons: No Knobs.
The current crop of "virtual analog" synths was inspired by the true analog synths of yesteryear, but each manufacturer has a different take on the analog sound. If you gather four different VA synths in one room, you'll hear a lot of distinctive tone colors. The idea of sampling some of the best-selling VA instruments may seem strange, because it puts even more distance between the player and the original analog inspiration-but if you don't own the right synth to lay down and analog-style bass line, filter sweep, or pad track, Virtual Analog, Vol. 1 will do the job nicely.
"These are very playable sounds," emphasized second listener Ken Hughes. "'Atomos' is a gorgeous pad that's ready for action in a marine-life documentary soundtrack, and 'Nuijcaf' is a great quirky stab sound that I could imagine using in one of my songs."
The bottom end on these stereo samples fills the room, and the looping of the tones is gorgeous, allowing you to sustain notes as long as you need to. The multisample matching is generally good, though I spotted some split points that could have been made smoother if the presets-which average around 5MB each-had included more than one sample per octave. Considering how many samplers are well-stocked with memory, bigger presets could have been included in the collection for those who prefer smoother keyboard transitions. I also think it's a shame that the vanilla file format (Akai S1000) ignores the versatile types of performance control found in today's samplers.
About 100 sounds are provided from each of four synths (Clavia Nord Lead, Novation Nova, Waldorf Q, Yamaha AN1x). The emphasis is strongly on sounds that can be used in conventional musical situations-I spotted only two or three special effect patches. It's often possible to tell just by listening to which synth was being used: the Q has a more spacious sound than the dark and focused AN1x, while the Nord sounds warm and friendly.
Purists will bemoan the lack of knobs, but comparing this package with the real thing isn't entirely fair. Virtual Analog, Vol. 1 fills a genuine need, and does so in an effective way. Jim Aikin
Bottom Line: Not the real thing, but it'll get you through a recording session.
