For longtime Pro Tools users, the classic AIR virtual instruments hold a special place in their hearts. The AIR Legends Pack brings together three of the most beloved virtual instruments from this legacy: DB-33 Tonewheel Organ, Vacuum Classic, and Xpand!2. This collection allows you to integrate these iconic sounds into any modern DAW, making it perfect for those who want to revisit the classic sounds of Pro Tools’ past while adding useful textures to their current projects.

The DB-33 Tonewheel Organ is a precise emulation of a classic tonewheel organ, capturing its distinctive sound with remarkable accuracy. This virtual instrument includes custom-designed, ultra-realistic rotary cabinet impulse responses (IRs) that can also be used as standalone effects. One of the standout features of the DB-33 is its tube overdrive emulation, which adds a gritty, attention-grabbing character to your organ sounds. With over 120 presets included, this virtual instrument provides plenty of options to jumpstart your creativity.

Moving on to the Vacuum Classic, this virtual instrument offers a vintage-style, monophonic synthesizer experience. It features vacuum tube circuit modeling to impart extra crunch and warmth, and its analog-style oscillators, filters, envelopes, and built-in audio effects evoke the sound of classic analog synths. Vacuum Classic allows you to morph between four wave shapes, providing flexibility in sound design. Additionally, you can apply distortion and ring modulation using the plug-in’s mixer, and process the sound through highpass and lowpass filters for further sonic shaping.

Xpand!2, another gem in the AIR Legends Pack, is a comprehensive virtual synth workstation. It features four active sound slots per patch, each with independent settings for MIDI channel, note range, mix, arpeggiation, modulation, and effects. This setup allows you to craft complex, multitimbral soundscapes with ease. Xpand!2 supports various synthesis methods including wavetable, FM synthesis, and sample playback, offering a vast array of creative possibilities. It also includes two digital effects processors with 50 effect types, and comes with over 2,500 presets to help you quickly build your sound palette.

In addition to the impressive features of each virtual instrument in the AIR Legends Pack, users benefit from a streamlined integration into their DAWs. The pack ensures that the classic sounds of the DB-33, Vacuum Classic, and Xpand!2 are accessible and adaptable for contemporary music production needs. Whether you’re looking to add nostalgic elements to your tracks or explore new creative directions, the AIR Legends Pack provides a versatile and powerful toolkit.

Overall, the AIR Legends Pack represents a valuable collection for anyone who appreciates the legacy of AIR’s virtual instruments. By combining the classic tones of the DB-33 Tonewheel Organ, the vintage character of the Vacuum Classic, and the versatile sound design capabilities of Xpand!2, this pack offers a broad range of sonic options for any producer or composer.
