Our Homage to the Original Sampler

With AIR’s over 20 years of experience in developing high-quality emulations, you can be assured this instrument won't disappoint.

It is designed for creative music production with a wide array of parameters, settings, and controls to craft an expansive range of keyboard instrument sounds. Start with the built-in sound categories and venture into a wide variety of sound shaping sections, notably, the new Flavor section.

You can also select "Dirty" and "Cleaned" versions of the original tapes. Other sound-shaping parameters include Formant, Age and Sample Start.
