TGX-85 Virtual Sample Library
MIDIculous LLC
Released in 1992, this was one of this was the first digital keyboards I ever owned. I used this keyboard when I was first starting out in college. At the time, I didn't know the jewel I had until I purchased it again some years later. This keyboard has some of the best sounding pads, synths, strings, and leads of any synth I've heard and can rival newer synths today. You will immediately recognize the lushness in the sound and we made sure to capture all of it in this library! Furthermore, with our modern synthesis in our Pure Synth® architecture, we are able to expand the sound capabilities far past what the hardware offers. For example, we have a sophisticated monophonic/glide mode that is not present in the hardware. Our effects are also modern and you are able to use multiple chains which were limiting on the hardware. All-in-all you will get the full SY-85 experience no matter which platform you choose (Pure Synth® Expansion or Standalone UI)

SUBscription Synth

Surface Builder
4Pockets.com
Surface Builder is a tool for creating control surfaces that send MIDI data to one or more audio components in order to simplify remote control tasks. You start by creating a surface of a given size, adding buttons, knobs, faders, etc. to the surface and configuring them to generate the required MIDI output. Surface Builder allows you to send note on/off, controller change and program change values as well as being able to emulate modulation wheel and pitch bend data. Buttons can also be configured to send bulk MIDI data using a single key press. You can build surfaces that span multiple scenes and link between them for large complex interfaces.
