Long time no sea! (well, literally!)
We hope you are all doing very well!
This is the first beta round for our upcoming update-releases. In the past weeks...months? ..
we worked feverishly on making this a very solid update.
We'll update about 12 products, which all contain numerous bugfixes and improvements.
Let's break it down to 4 categories:
1. UI update
All plug-ins now have 10% UI scaling but not all of them have yet been redesigned for High Definition graphics.
However, many bugs related to UI (scaling / gamma / analyzer,...) have been tackled.
A full UI makeover has been done for
ACE - new outlets for voice-specific modulators, new knobs, more clarity
Diva - more clarity, less clutter, "LEDs aren't switches", Multi-core button is now in the top row
Also, Zebra's UI has been improved in parts, and the Unempty Dark Horse completed.
2. Added Configuration / MIDI Learn page to the following products:
Zebra, DarkZebra, Zebrify, Satin, Diva, ACE, Bazille, Hive
We'll add this to some other products in the future and will add more options to the preferences over time.
3. Fixed "Apple LogicX / Studio One - Missing GUI Bug" on OS X
Editor windows for Diva, Uhbik, MFM2, Filterscape, Podolski, Triple Cheese will now open in
LogicX, Garage Band, Mainstage and Studio One again!
4. General bugfixes, individual fixes, general improvements not mentioned before
- Fixed missing cable option-menu in ACE & Bazille
- Fixed MIDI CC & Modulation Source/Target issues in several products
- Fixed notehangers, dropped notes, etc.. in several products
- Improved overall MIDI timing, Sequencer, Arpeggiator and LFOs
- Improved LFO sync to Sequencer in Hive
- Improved Hive's/Bazille's & Diva's Phaser (two extra parameters) & Hive's Compressor
- Added a German HIVE manual
- Added new initialization preset for ACE, DIVA, HIVE, Zebralette
Well, too many to list individually today. We might compile a comprehensive list later

NOTES:
1. ZebraHZ
Owners of this product have to wait, until we release an official update. This will likely happen within the next 2 weeks. The update can then be downloaded via your user account at u-he.
2. OS X 10.11 and Windows 10
In-house tests showed, that u-he plugins work fine on Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and Windows 10. However, please make sure, that all your software and hardware is compatible, when upgrading to a new operating system. And always backup your current system!
TESTING:
We need your input!
This is likely the easiest and quickest way to reveal issues:
1.
Sound-designers: Go through your patches and verify, that they sound as they should
Producers: Load many (old) projects (containing our products) and verify, that they sound as they should
You can also, simple as that, play the synths live, while flipping through presets.
Please make sure, to cover all voice-modes, etc., including ARP/SEQ and Glide.
2.
Please check all MIDI CC's & modulation sources/targets work 100% - as they should.
As always: Feel free to report any new issues and strangenesses
Thanks!
Enjoy,
