of unique sounds.

instrument that offers an extensive library of drums, pianos,
guitars, basses, synths, orchestral, and other instruments with an
intuitive interface that makes it easy and fun to find and dial in
the perfect sound. Each instrument comes with presets and
pre-assigned macro controls, fine-tuned to impact the character of
each sound with the tweak of a knob. Pro Tools users can expand
