By sampler  On  

u-he has released Uhbik 2.0, a significant and free update to its suite of effect plug-ins. This version introduces a complete visual overhaul, a powerful new modulation system, and adds a brand-new Compressor to the collection.

The update, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux users, is a complimentary download for all existing Uhbik license holders. The redesign isn’t just cosmetic; the new user interface is built to accommodate the extensive new modulation capabilities, making it easier to craft complex, evolving effects.

New in Version 2.0

The Uhbik 2 suite comprises ten individual plug-ins:

  • Ambience: A plate reverb featuring early reflections.

  • Compressor: A new addition, with optional feed-back detection.

  • Delay: A 5-tap delay with modulation.

  • Equalizer: A flexible and clean parametric EQ.

  • Flanger: Offers both tape and delay-based flanging.

  • Grainshift: A granular pitch shifter.

  • Phaser: Based on a classic multi-allpass filter design.

  • Runciter: A filter designed for adding color and distortion.

  • Shifter: A continuous barber-pole frequency shifter.

  • Tremolo: A rhythm-maker that supports user-definable patterns.

Aside from the compressor, u-he has packed a lot into this update. Here are some of the key improvements:

  • A completely redesigned UI to support the new modulation system.

  • A built-in oscilloscope for visualizing audio or modulation signals.

  • Rewritten filter algorithms and expanded surround sound support up to 7.1.

  • Added support for the CLAP plug-in format alongside improved VST3 implementation.

  • A new preset browser for easier patch management.

  • Support for IPluginCompatibility to assist in migrating from VST2 to VST3 versions within a project.

  • Numerous plugin-specific improvements and minor bug fixes.
