An instrument, not a song finder
Martinic describes AX73 as a software recreation of the Akai AX73 synthesizer. It belongs in a production workflow: playing and shaping an instrument. It does not identify a song from a social video or download that song for you.
Listen before choosing
Audition the manufacturer's sound examples and compare them with sounds you already have. Think about the part you need in your next track, such as a lead or a pad. A new plugin is useful only if it solves a musical problem that your current instruments do not.
Check the exact version
Our partner destination currently points to the AX73 Plus product page. Verify the version, supported operating system, plugin format and license at that destination before buying. Do not assume every product in the AX73 family has identical terms or features.
Before you choose
- Check your DAW, operating system and plugin format.
