u-he Ursome Bundle

The name “Ursome” harks back to a time when Urs was essentially a solo developer. There’s plenty of unsupervised madness to be found here, although some of the rougher edges have since been smoothed out to accommodate a more modern workflow.

ACE and Bazille are aimed at those with a passion for modular synthesis. ACE, short for Any Cable Everywhere, is the older sibling: a semi-modular analogue synthesizer designed to strike the perfect balance between “easy to use but rather limited” and “unlimited sonic power but incomprehensible to mere mortals”. You could say it succeeds rather well.

Bazille is a different beast altogether. Something that could only exist in software. Imagine a traditional cable-based modular synthesizer, complete with LFOs, analogue-style filters and all the usual suspects – but with oscillators based on phase distortion and classic (digital) FM! Yes, there’s a reason its slogan became “Monster from the Deep”: Bazille is capable of wildly experimental, larger-than-life sounds, but can also be surprisingly gentle.

Filterscape and MFM2 have both recently received major makeovers, bringing them up to current u-he standards…

Filterscape is a collection of three plug-ins built around a common feature: a bank of EQ filters that can morph between snapshots or be animated by LFOs and envelope followers, synchronised to song tempo or reacting dynamically to the input signal.

MFM2, short for More Feedback Machine 2, could be touted as all the digital delays you’ll ever need. It can handle conventional delay duties with precise control over each and every aspect, or go completely bananas creating vast reflective soundscapes and dream worlds. If you’re into Frippertronics, you’re in for a treat!

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!

Bazille

Bazille is a large modular system combining digital oscillators with analogue-style filters and modelled effects, with a flexibility that only modular patching can provide.

Filterscape

Please Note: For existing owners of previous versions of Filterscape, please check your u-he account for your free upgrade.

At the core of all three plugins is the distinctive EQ, capable of seamlessly transitioning between 8 different "snapshots". Each EQ band’s frequency and amplitude can be dynamically modulated, even from different sources for each snapshot! With a sleek and future-proof new design, Filterscape has become more visually appealing and more comfortable to use.

MFM2

Version 2.5 of u-he’s monster delay plug-in More Feedback Machine is now available. The new version comes with a redesigned GUI, native support for Apple silicon, VST3 and CLAP (the new open source plug-in format), a new input section, new granular and diffusion effects... and quite a lot more.
