However, the depth of sampling for individual instruments, and the limited number of performance articulations, means this library is unlikely to be most users' first choice for more demanding applications. There is not much here by way of synth-type sounds, so presumably MOTU think this area is already covered by the virtual synths amongst the existing instrument bundle.Īll in all, if this is the starting point for your sample-based virtual instrument journey, or you are looking for a general all-in-one library that's fairly resource-light for use with a laptop/mobile rig, UVI Workstation would certainly allow you to sketch out all sorts of musical ideas.
There is also a respectable selection of loops that are dominated by drums but cover a wide range of genres. The sounds themselves span a broad selection of conventional instrument types from acoustic and electric drums, acoustic and electric pianos, various organs, acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, voices and something from all of the orchestral sections. Aside from a few 'macro' level controls on the Edit page, which change based upon the nature of the preset being used, you don't get to deep-dive into the sounds themselves, although there is a good range of effects possibilities for customising the included sounds. The UVI soundbank will open within MOTU's MachFive 3 or UVI's Falcon if you have access to either of those if not, UVI Workstation presents a very straightforward user interface, and offers four-part multitimbral playback. I had no problems running a number of VST2 and VST3 virtual instruments, including popular but demanding plug-ins like Kontakt 6 and Superior Drummer 3. If MOTU themselves are not going to develop new proprietary instruments for DP, at least you can take your pick of what the rest of the market has to offer.

MOTU have partnered with UVI to bundle a collection of sample-based sounds with DP10.Support for VST3 is obviously a good thing, and ensures that DP can take advantage of the full range of third-party instruments. However, rather than add any new virtual instruments of MOTU's own design, DP10 sees two additions of a third-party nature: support for VST3 plug-ins, and a bundled 5GB library of multisampled instruments that use UVI Workstation as their front end. The v9 virtual instruments - BassLine, PolySynth, NanoSampler, Modulo, Model 12, MX4 and Proton - remain perfectly serviceable, if perhaps not cutting-edge. DP10 does bring some progress here, but perhaps in a somewhat roundabout fashion. The other box waiting to be ticked was DP's built-in collection of virtual instruments.
