We cut through the jargon to explain how software instruments achieve their incredible realism. Reading some recent SOS reviews of flagship orchestral sample libraries from the likes of Spitfire, EastWest and VSL, I was struck by just how much jargon is involved in describing their features.

MOTU’s newest UltraLite interface is a Jack of all trades... and master of most of them!Since the Mk1’s release in 2006, the UltraLite has always been something of a misnomer. While they’ve always ‘only’ been half‑rack interfaces, UltraLites have also been pretty rugged affairs, and so not at all light in terms of weight. They’ve also managed to cram a remarkable amount of I/O into their compact chassis, so they’re not light on channels either.

OE’s all‑analogue bass pedals pack the sound of a stack into a stompbox. Origin Effects may be familiar to you as the company who had the inspired idea to build an 1176 into a guitar pedal. They’ve since come out with a range of top‑quality (and commensurately priced) stompboxes, and their latest models cater to bass players, with the Bass Rig Super Vintage promising the sound of an Ampeg SVT, and the Bass Rig ’64 Black Panel being based around Fender’s Showman and Bassman models.
