love hate relationship
it can be cool to setup samples in this and get going but the overall clunkyness and Logic X aesthetic seems pointless at times. all in all what UVI is doing here is knockn on Kontakt which is ok but bring something new to the table. Ive been eyeing falcon for a couple years and just cant pull the trigger because great sounding patches in it take WORK and other interfaces can give me those kinds of results much faster easier and in a more inspiring manner

14:18 - This plugin is pulled up and Ferry says "It's just a beautiful piano, you can do a lot, you can mellow it down or spice it up, amazing presets"
You can hear the soft synths on the song “Method” on the new album. I used the UVI Workstation to activate eight-bit samples for the noisy/glitchy stuff at the end of that song.
In this Youtube Video of Mizkifs stream, You can see Slushii making a track and at 3:22:46 you can see UVI Workstation in the plugin list.
