New in Ultra Analog VA-3
- Home view with macros mapped to key sound characteristics—modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect, presenting a distraction free and laidback browsing and tweaking experience.
- Two-Voice Multitimbral: Combine two independent timbres—stacked or split—to create performance-friendly, texture-full, and spacious sounds that are sure to make a good impression.
- Completely new factory library of 560 sounds created by top sound designers. Richard Devine, Christian Halten, Jerry Kovarsky, Christian Laffitte, Niall McCallum, Adam Pietruszko, Thiago Pinheiro, Daniel Stawczyk, and Emeric Zubar form an incredible team that made the most of the latest Ultra Analog VA-3 features. It’s with great pride that we present these new signature sounds.
- VA-2 Legacy Library: Each and every sounds of the legacy Ultra Analog VA-2 library went under the eyes of all team members to exit with a consistent gain-stage, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling real-time sound transformation assignments to take advantage of the new features of Ultra Analog VA-3. That’s an extra 648 solid sounds in your hands.
- Brand-new browser with Packs, Sounds, Categories, and Creators views offers an efficient way to home in on the sounds you’re looking for.
- Four performance macros per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect morphing assignments that can be played in real time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.

- Brand-new ladder-type filter for that classic low-pass response.
- Ultra Analog VA-3 now supports the Scala scale file format as well as reference note frequency tuning for microtonal music making.
