EVE stands for Electronic Vintage Ensemble, which suggests the design
philosophy behind the instrument. EVE was made to recreate in the virtual
world of softsynths the exciting and immediate experience of the early age of
electronics in pop, rock and jazz music from the 1960's and 1970's.
During this creative period in music history, many musicians started to
employ the innovative sounds of the `electric keyboards' which were newly
available for use on stage and in the studio: Rhodes electric pianos, Hammond
and Vox organs, Hohner clavinets, strings machines such as the Arp Solina
string ensemble, Moog synthesizers, and all those that are now considered
`classics'.
It was not only keyboards that were a part of this revolution in popular
music: the use of effects and recording techniques for layering, blending and
manipulating sounds transformed the way music was produced and
conceptualized. Tape based delay lines, rotating speaker cabinets, guitar
distortion pedals, wah wah, phasing, flanging and other effects became an
integral part of the process of sound design.
EVE takes these vintage sounds and this early approach to `electronic'
music production as a starting point, bringing this general philosophy and
sound into the modern virtual environment with an intuitive and powerful
interface. At the core of the EVE approach to sound design is the basic
structure of 3 sample-playing layers, 2 multi-effect racks, and a selected
library of multisampled `electric keyboards'. This enables the blending of
several waveforms and instruments into a vintage wall of sound, or
alternatively, the use of the 3 layers multi-timbrally as a vintage
workstation. These layers can then be further processed through EVE's
powerful multi-effect racks.
EVE features a well designed system of parameters for tweaking instruments
and effects towards musical results, with all parameters accessible on a
single page for easy and intuitive sound design. Using EVE 2 is just like
having the vintage boxes at your fingertips.
If only it was this easy back in the day!

Mellotronix is a very special sound library for all DASHsnd compatible VST
instruments, featuring the most classic Mellotron sounds. Each Mellotron key
has been sampled for the complete length of the tape to offer one of the most
faithful Mellotron sample set ever made. What you get is 6+ seconds of
naturally occuring distortions and tape modulations, making for some of the
warmest selections of vintage tones in your sample folder. Unlike the
original machine, each sample is looped seamlessly, so you are not limited by
the 6-8 second duration of the tape samples.
Presets for EVE have been designed by Luigi Felici and acclaimed sound
designer Tim Conrardy, and range from classic reproductions to modern twists
of the mellotron sound. Presets for Wusikstation designed by Artvera.
Mellotronix samples are produced by Hollow Sun.
