UVI Soundbanks review
A large subscription catalog for producers, composers and audio professionals.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UVI Soundbanks is a subscription catalog for musicians, producers, composers and audio professionals. It combines sampled instruments, soundware, effects, sound effects, orchestral collections, vintage synthesizer libraries and Falcon Expansions. SonicPass provides access to more than 1,000 instruments and effects, over 40,000 presets and more than 2.3 million samples. The catalog runs through UVI Workstation or Falcon, with products managed through UVI Portal and usable in supported digital audio workstations.
Pricing is straightforward. The Monthly plan costs $24 per month and includes unlimited access to the UVI catalog, with cancellation available at any time. The Annual plan costs $240 per year and includes two months free. Both plans provide catalog access, while SonicPass also includes future product releases and updates. There is no free plan, so UVI Soundbanks is aimed at buyers who expect to use a substantial range of sampled content rather than those seeking occasional free downloads.
Its strongest fit is a production setup that benefits from both breadth and instrument depth. The catalog includes vocal content, multiple sound formats and Falcon access, while 40,000+ tagged presets support browser search and audio previews. UVI Portal provides one-click product download and installation, and compatibility includes Audio Unit, AAX, VST, VST3 and standalone formats. Listed integrations cover FL Studio, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, GarageBand, Maschine, Reaper and other major platforms. Windows and macOS are supported, with one license activating three computers. Choose it for extensive catalog access and virtual instruments; choose another option if you need a free plan or a platform outside Windows and macOS.
