"Sonically, it truly befits its name, sitting right up there with the best in terms of analog emulation; and even its most advanced features are easy to negotiate thanks to the exemplary clarity of the interface." -TJ Glover Future Music

"Analogue heaven -- Ultra Analog is a joy to use. As an instrument, the patches are richer then some other re-creations... Simple yet powerful - an excellent way to create both classic and unique sounds." -Hollin Jones Music Tech

"If you don't have the cash to pony up for a used Juno, Moog, Rhodes, Arp or Sequential Circuits, the Ultra Analog is the perfect virtual synthesizer solution. Looks Like the digital age has caught up with the past." -Jesse Terry XLR8R

"(Ultra Analog) sounds liquid and alive, more so than most virtual analog synths I've played with. The bass end of UA was fantastic, and quite possibly one of the best I've heard from a plug-in... Those of you craving that ultimate analog sound in digital format should certainly take a look at Ultra Analog" -Devon Brent Grooves

Artists:

"I'm thrilled that AAS has succeeded to bring us yet another creative and inspirational musical tool. It's just easy to get sounds out of Ultra Analog - Job well done!" - Yves Frulla Keyboard player for Canadian diva Celine Dion

"Ultra Analog delivers everything I expect from a virtual analog module: full sound, good punch, clear interface - very fast to use, which is great for film music, where time is always of the essence. But beyond that, Ultra Analog also gives access to some of the unique features I've come to know and love about Tassman. Its ability to sound 'uneven and authentically strange' sets it apart from other, more regular synth emulations." - Paul Haslinger Tangerine Dream member and film composer: Underworld, The Italian Job, Blue Crush, Minority Report, and many more
