The core technology of VIBES MD850 is the new AIS platform (All Integrated Synthesizer), which allows 24 stereo voices inside VIBES and more powerful and exciting instruments for the future based on its modularity. Existing MD900 users will benefit from the same future software updates like new customers. AIS is also the key element of Mayer EMI’s future vision of synthesizers as the central hub for music production.
