03In depth

Arpeggios, Sequences and Rhythmic Patterns

The bank is built around arpeggiated and sequenced material. Its patterns range from melodic arpeggios to hypnotic pulses and percussive rhythmic figures, so you can layer or sequence them into a track's rhythm section or use them as motion-driven lead parts.

The developer describes the sound as an old-school approach to analog synthesis, and the presets use the Ultra-Analog VA-3 engine throughout. Each preset is controlled through macros, giving you a direct way to shape expression and tone without digging into the full synth architecture.

Setup, Compatibility and Who It Is For

Motions is a preset collection rather than a standalone instrument. If you own Ultra-Analog VA-3, the presets are added to it automatically after installation and appear as Ultra-Analog VA-3 Reverence. If you do not own VA-3, you can still play the sounds through the free AAS Player plug-in, which runs as a plug-in or standalone application.

The bank suits producers working in electronic, cinematic and rhythm-driven music who want ready-made arpeggio and sequence starting points. Richard Veenstra's background in analog synthesis, tape machines and foley-based sound design shapes the character of the material.
