u-he Studio Bundle
Presswerk and Satin are being used in professional studios and home production spaces throughout the world. Both share a common philosophy: Rather than emulating a single piece of hardware, they draw inspiration from several classics, giving you the freedom to mix and match characteristics.
Satin delivers authentic studio tape machine emulation that simply “makes everything sound better” while doubling as a creative tool for classic tape effects such as delay and phasing.
Presswerk combines the best characteristics of legendary hardware compressors, letting you choose which features to use – or leave out – at any given moment.
As all the sum of all these options can be overwhelming – especially at 3 AM – we’ve also included a bunch of simplified Views that expose only the controls you would find on the original hardware. All other parameters are set to automatically match the characteristics of the chosen compressor so you can concentrate on the sound.
Last but certainly not least, there’s Uhbik 2…
Uhbik is a collection of studio effects designed to either blow your mind (not your speakers!) or sit perfectly in the mix. Uhbik can do both. These ten sophisticated effects, with support for surround formats up to 7.1, have found their way into countless music productions as well as soundtracks and effects for games and movies.
Presswerk
Presswerk is designed to be a powerful dynamics processor rich with a musical soul. An easy-to-use interface and a rich feature set give you hands-on control over all the details of your sound. Presswerk is more than a copycat of other hardware compressors, it blends the warmth of classic hardware models with many modern touches.

Satin
We took a journey back to the Golden Age of magnetic tape recording. We wanted to recreate all kinds of tape machines in software, from the ground up. After many months spent on research, measurement and on developing an architecture that would be flexible enough for the job, we knew we had nailed it...
Highlights
Tape Machine Architecture
- Mix-and-match emulation spans all major historical developments in tape technology
- Control multiple instances from one panel - 'glue’ multiple tracks together
- High-quality: internal sample rate up to 384kHz, continuous tape speed control
Goodness & Badness Control
- All the 'goodness' of tape (saturation, transient-smoothing, HF compression etc.)
- Full control over the 'badness' (head-bump, wow&flutter, asperity noise, hiss etc.)
Standards & Creative FX
- Record / repro EQ standards (separately selectable), classic NR compander standards
- Extra FX modes: through-zero tape flanging, host-synchronizable 4-tap stereo delay

Uhbik 2
Uhbik 2 brings you a powerful suite of ten pro-grade studio effects, including lush reverb, versatile delay, punchy compression, swirling flangers, granular pitch shifting, rich phasing, precise EQ, characterful filtering, frequency shifting, and rhythmic tremolo.
Highlights
Space, Time & Dynamics
- Ambience (reverb) - From subtle room acoustics to vast outer-space atmospheres, Uhbik-A blends early reflections with versatile plate algorithms for depth and dimension.
- Compressor - A fresh twist on a studio essential. Featuring upward compression (“inflation”) and adaptive release, it adds punch, polish, and clarity to your mix.
- Delay - Explore endlessly creative echoes with five virtual “tape heads”, per-tap feedback, tone-shaping filters, and spacey LFO or flutter modulation.
Modulation & Pitch
- Flanger - Classic flanging or lush chorus effects are achieved by simulating a pair of tape machines or BBD (bucket brigade delay) per audio channel.
- Grainshift - Atomize your sound, shift the pitch from subtle doubling / detuning to alien soundscapes. Two basic modes: granular pitch shifting or phase vocoding.
- Phaser - A stunning phaser with up to 42 allpass filters for super-rich sound. Control the spectrum (comb frequency), feedback and modulation amounts.
- Shifter (frequency shifter) - Push your sound into new dimensions, from subtle chorusing and phasing to eerie, otherworldly transformations.
Tone & Rhythm
- EQ (Equalizer) - Maximum tone control with minimal fuss: Two semi-parametric bands, powerful brick-wall filters, and flexible modes keep your sound precise yet musical
- Runciter (filter/distortion) - A resonant multimode filter with envelope follow, fuzz, and overdrive. Blend low-, high-, and bandpass filters for dramatic tone shaping.
- Tremolo - Beyond simple volume wobble. Craft complex rhythms, pulsing textures, or dramatic gated effects by modulating volume, tone, and stereo position.
