What Analog Empire Is For
Designed as a premium instrument for MSoundFactory, Analog Empire covers ideal pad and string textures for ambient, film music, modern pop, synthwave, and downtempo. Its library transforms ideas into expansive atmospheres, evolving soundscapes, and harmonic layers ready to mix, without spending hours on synthesis.
Main Features
Expressive Analog Sampling
Each sound is captured across multiple notes per octave with five velocity layers, offering natural playing nuance and the "cream" of legendary analog synths. The sound remains stable in the mix while responding finely to dynamics.
A/B Layers and Musical Morphing
Stack two sources and sculpt them separately via high-pass/low-pass filters, pitch, "analog drift," unison, and stereo panning per voice. The large blend knob controls A/B fusion, and "FLOW" and "FADE" modulations add organic movement.
Tonal Shaping and Multimode Filter
An analog-style multimode filter allows precise sound color shaping, from subtle veils to wide sweeps, for smooth and musical transitions.
Studio-Inspired Effects + Master
Four modulations (tremolo, phaser, flanger, chorus), lush shimmer reverb, and a LoFi tape effect add width and character. The master bus combines additional filters, EQ, compression, maximizer, and width control for an immediately "ready-to-release" sound.
Fast Workflow, Pro Presets, and MPE
Presets designed by sound designers speed up creation, while MPE support enables nuanced performances, including per-note vibrato and slides.

Do the pads respond to velocity?
Sampling is based on multiple notes per octave and five velocity layers, providing nuanced dynamic response.
Can two synth layers be blended in Analog Empire: Pads and Strings?
Two A/B sources can be stacked and adjusted separately with high-pass and low-pass filters, pitch, analog drift, unison, and stereo panning per voice. The Blend control manages their mix, while FLOW and FADE modulations create evolving textures. An analog-style multimode filter then shapes the tonal color.
