PX WaveFrame

The Digital Sampling Revolution

PX WaveFrame captures the groundbreaking essence of the WaveFrame AudioFrame, a high-end digital sampler and audio production system that made waves in the late 1980s. Developed in Boulder, Colorado, this system was a formidable competitor to the Synclavier and Fairlight, featuring advanced capabilities like non-aliased transposition, phase-coherent polyphony, and 24-bit processing features that were light years ahead of their time. Even with a focus on post-production, the AudioFrame was embraced by forward-thinking musicians and producers for its pristine sound and unique sonic character, with artists like Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, and many others utilizing it for both studio and stage.

Faithfully Reimagined

The UVI sound design team meticulously recorded and preserved the unique digital artifacts and tonal richness of the original WaveFrame AudioFrame. Every sample was captured with care to honor the pristine sound quality and innovative sampling techniques of the hardware. In addition, a second 'FX' version of each sound was individually processed and separately recorded, offering new creative possibilities with a modernized sonic vision. Leveraging both vintage and modern inspiration, PX WaveFrame provides an era-defying sonic experience that is entirely its own.

Modern Sound for Today’s Producers

Building on this foundation, UVI designed hundreds of all-new presets, hand-crafted with modern production aesthetics in mind. From lush pads and evolving soundscapes to cutting-edge basses and cinematic textures, PX WaveFrame is packed with an expansive palette suited for both modern genre and creative sound design. With 350 expertly programmed presets covering categories like Keys, Guitars, Bass, Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Synths, Drums, and Effects, PX WaveFrame delivers a gamut of inspiration for musicians, producers, and sound designers alike.
