INCREDIBLE SONIC TOOLS
Based in Germany, AIR Music Technology started as Wizoo Sound Design, one of the earliest pioneers in virtual instrument technology. The AIR team is responsible for the core of much of the effects offerings in Avid’s Pro Tools® software, and also developed a suite of award-winning virtual instruments specifically for Pro Tools. Leveraging this history of excellence, AIR’s has created four exclusive new instrument plugins for MPC, as well as including their highly acclaimed suite of FX plugins.
