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

ACE
ACE belongs to a new generation of synthesizers developed with the latest, fastest computers in mind. ACE offers classic modular synthesis and more at a fraction of the cost of dedicated hardware. But like its hardware forebears, you can patch any output into any input: the number of different ways to connect modules together is practically infinite. Needless to say, you will never run out of cables!
At first glance ACE may seem overly simplistic, but remember that virtually anything can be plugged into anything else. For instance, try plugging an LFO into a Filter, then use that filter as an FM source for an oscillator. Crazy routing is possible, endless fun is guaranteed!
Highlights
Semi-Modular Architecture
- Semi-modular architecture, with default routing like ARP 2600
- 25 signal sources, 30+ signal targets
- Use multiples for inversion, amp / ring modulation etc.
Oscillators, Filters & Modulation
- Up to 8 times unison with +/-2 octave detune range each
- Exceptional filters, can self-oscillate
- LFOs can be used as VCOs and vice versa
- Sync, FM, cross modulation
Tap Map & Tuning
- Custom LFO waveform "tap map"
- Microtuning (Scala .tun standard)
- 100% free of Supersaws!

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

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 the low-range rumbling, slowly evolving delays to the highly resonant, screaming characters. A single knob lets you continuously blend between the five finely-tuned "colour" macros, alongside Saturation and Brightness knobs to dial back colouration or adjust bandwidth.
Flexibility
With delay times ranging from under a millisecond to several seconds, create anything from comb-filter and flange/chorus effects to regular 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 for as long as you like, 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
The Reverb Tank & Shakeable Springs
- 3 different reverberation tanks, inspired by the most popular ones built in the guitar & instrument amps that made rock 'n roll
- Physical modelling simulating excitation, reflection, dispersion, interference, and switchable mechanical coupling on a per-sample basis
- Shakeable springs via the Twang control (manually or via modulation/automation)
- Tasty drive & tone stage plus multi-mode filter with variable type blend
Envelope, LFO & Mod Matrix
- Four-flavours envelope stage (Envelope Follower, Attack & Decay, Attack & Release, or Cyclic) from input, output or external sidechain
- LFO module with 8 waveforms (including stepped/glide random), non-sync (seconds) or syncable (dotted & triplets)
- 3-slot modulation matrix (including shake as a target) and independent stereo/mono input and feedback routing
Presets & Control
- 76 factory presets, NKS-compatible
- UI instantly resizable from 70% to 200%
- Custom remote control via MIDI CC, 14-bit resolution option

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.
