Missing the mark as a Piano
Because of the company name most people would think that this item would blow your mind, but this item is missing the mark of what it should look like. No real body for a piano

Total flexibility
Every possible scenario where I could choose going with a 1176 is covered with this collection. It has become one of my favorite units because of its distinct sound. My go-to for squashing very dynamic signals, and a excelent tone box. Plus, including the 40th anniversary in this collection is very appreciated.

1176 Classic Limiter Collection Is All You Need
I just purchased the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection from Universal Audio. I am amazed at the utility that it provides. I had been working on one original song for the last year, not quite finding the right sound that I was hearing in my head. I scratched all the gimmicky plugins I was trying and went to basics. I used the collection with each track and was immediately impressed with the sound it delivered. A minimal amount of tinkering with settings and everything was set. I'm also pleased with the versatility the collection provides as it's able to perfect Americana tunes as well as rock music. It has become my "go to" tool for mixing and mastering.

A "Must have"
I won't say much. Only, when I tried this compressors on my tracks, I realized , it was the sound that I had in my ears, and in my mind. That sound I had listen in my favorite music. I was chasing it...Here it is.

Waterfall B3 Organ
Overall, I can't recommend the Waterfall B3 Organ plugin highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned organist looking for an authentic virtual instrument or a producer seeking to add organic, vintage textures to your tracks, this plugin is a game-changer.

inutilisable avec Cubase Pro 13
j'ai installé le synthé Polymax après avoir up^gradé de cubase pro11 à 13. Bien que le plugin soit enregistré dans mon ilock physique, dès que j'ouvre une piste instru avec Polymax, cubase plante instantanément. je me passerai de ce synthé. Dommage .

Excellent software, it takes time to try out all its potential but from what I've tried so far it seems like a real mini moog tool. Optimal

GRACIAS POR EL OBSEQUIO!
TENGO MUCHOS SONIDOS Y JUEGO CON ELLOS CON RESULTADOS MUY AGRADABLES, EXCELENTE COMPAÑERO DE CREATIVIDAD
J. Crowe
Not worth it due to licensing issues.
Sounds decent, but other less hassling software can create these sounds in the box. An internet connection is required to load the plugin in an operating state, which causes problems for airgapped workstations. This is a major security concern and these plugins should be avoided.

Just Wooow!
I make guitar pop and this library is such a wonderful addition to my sound pallet. The warmth and sweetness of this emulation is off the scale. And don't get me even started on the realistic sound and spatial depth! I was working on a song that needed some electric keys for days before I demoed the Electra 88. The third preset I loaded was a direct hit. Completely what the song needed and then some! If I were to own a real Electra 88, I don't think I would be able to make it sound this good. Just blown away
M. Jansen
Great Synth, but...
Not usable for live performance, because you need an active Wifi-connection. Ridiculous!
