u-he Analogue Bundle
The Analogue Bundle combines u-he’s world-famous multi-model vintage synth emulation Diva with its siblings Repro-1 and Repro-5, which faithfully model two legendary American synthesizers in incredible detail.
Although Diva and Repro already come with built-in effects, we’ve rounded off the bundle by adding our lovely bucket-brigade style delay Colour Copy and spring reverb emulation Twangström. These two let you place the synthesizers in the sonic space and time they truly belong.
Mind you, Colour Copy and Twangström can also add plenty of character to modern productions – just don’t expect squeaky-clean digital delay or generic room simulations!
Diva
The oscillators, filters and envelopes closely model components found in some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear. Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets DIVA apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound. This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU hit, but we think it was worth it.
Highlights
Authentic Analogue Sound
- Authentic, unrivalled analogue sound
- The essence of 7 or 8 vintage synths for about 1% of the cost
Modern CPU Performance
- Up to 40% less CPU-hit than version 1.0
- Multithreading support for modern CPUs - more polyphony, less overload
Presets & Interface
- Even bigger library of gorgeously organic presets
- Resizable editor window, alternative skins available shortly
- ...and so much more!

Repro
Repro dives into the past for analogue inspiration, meticulously modelling two famous synthesizers. Every detail of the original was captured using component-level modelling technology to create the most authentic model possible. All the subtle characteristics and quirks found in the originals are present in Repro. One product, one installer, two synths.
Highlights
Repro-1
- Unashamedly monophonic
- 4-pole resonant lowpass filter & glide control
- Arpeggiator with latch mode & sequencer with two 32-step patterns (or 64 steps when chained)
- 3 modulation sources controlling 5 destinations & 2 additional "performance" modulation assignments
- 5 effects: wavefolder/distortion, delay/chorus, EQ/resonator, reverb, sonic conditioner/dynamics processor
- 500 factory presets
Repro-5
- 8-voice polyphony & 1 to 8 voice unison with glide control
- Audio-rate voice modulation: oscillator FM (frequency and pulse width), filter FM
- 4-pole resonant lowpass filter & flexible modulation options plus 2-slot matrix
- Polyphonic distortion unit with 4 types including bit crusher
- 5 effects: tape emulation, delay/chorus, EQ/resonator, reverb, sonic conditioner/dynamics processor
- Over 950 factory presets
Shared Features
- Powerful analogue sound using component-level modelling
- 2 combinable oscillators (saw / pulse and saw / triangle / pulse) with PWM, oscillator sync, white noise generator & ADSR envelope
- "Tweak" screen for adjusting component behaviour & host-syncable LFO with 3 waveforms
- Microtuning support (.tun files), resizable UI, MIDI learn page and editable list, global preferences page
- New preset browser with powerful search functions, tagging

Colour Copy
A virtual analog effect inspired by classic bucket-brigade delays (BBD) but extended with modern features. We called our new baby "Colour Copy" because it can deliver the kind of colouration people still love in classic BBD units, but with a wider variety of colours. Colour Copy started life as the little delay unit called "Lyrebird" we built into Repro-1, but the sound was too good not to be developed further and become an fx plug-in.
Highlights
Colours
Capture the essence of the entire range of classic bucket brigade delays – from low-range rumbling, slowly evolving delays to highly resonant, screaming characters. A single knob lets you continuously blend between five finely-tuned "colour" macros, alongside Saturation and Brightness knobs to dial in the bandwidth and colouration.
Flexibility
With delay times ranging from under a millisecond to several seconds, create anything from comb-filter and flange/chorus effects to ping-pong delays and longer "looper" effects. Mix or swap input and feedback signals, invert feedback phase, and place left and right output "taps" anywhere along the delay lines.
Animation & Performance Control
Includes a stereo LFO (0.05Hz to 20Hz) with envelope follower modulation, a ducking compressor for either the entire delay output or just the feedback signal, a freeze button that loops the delay buffer, and MIDI key control so you can play Colour Copy like a mono synth.

Twangström
A flexible spring reverb box-of-tricks. If you're familiar with Bazille, you might already have come across its built-in spring unit. We took that one, then modelled two more reverb tanks, paired it with drive section, filter stage, envelope, and mod matrix. It emulates a hand-picked selection of the most popular units you will find in classic guitar and instrument amplifiers, recreating the odd character of real springs.
As a faithful emulation of a mechanical device, Twangström needs to be handled well. Many of the technical parameters are user-adjustable in real time, and these can be controlled via MIDI or using the internal LFO and envelope generator. With its multimode resonant filter, Twangström is a unique and powerful tool which can deliver highly unusual, evolving textures... especially when the signal is tossed around using the modulation matrix!
Highlights
Springs & Tone
- Shakeable springs
- 3 different reverberation tanks, inspired by the most popular ones built in the guitar & instrument amps that made rock 'n roll
- Tasty drive & tone stage for heating-up and colouring the sound
- Multi-mode filter, with variable type blend
Modulation & Routing
- Four-flavours envelope stage, picking up the signal from either input, output or external sidechain
- LFO module, 8 different types & waveforms, variable time base & syncable
- Comprehensive modulation matrix, for realtime control of all the parameters
- Independent input and feedback routing options allow all possible stereo or mono combinations
Presets & Control
- 76 factory presets, NKS-compatible
- UI instantly resizable from 70% to 200%
- Custom remote control via MIDI CC, 14-bit resolution option
