All hail the Uhbiks

[Lejurai]

I demoed uhbiks long time ago. Really really liked them but since I use both Reason and Bitwig, I'd have to buy them on both platform. For Bitwig I don't need them as much because I have Melda stuff to cover that ground. So maybe I could get them for Reason, but they're a bit pricey as an re (222€ Propably the reason why they may not sell so well). And as much as I like uhbiks, they don't really bring enough to the table that I'd be ready to spend that much of currency on them. Especially when stock devices work well and there are great alternatives with lower price.

I do love the Uhbiks too.

I just recently mapped them to Push 2. With Ubermap one can build and name parameter-banks as one likes. And then Uhbiks feel just like hardware ... thats really cool.

However (there seems to be always one ), although Uhbiks are not parameter intensive, they do not expose all of them for automation. I do understand the challenge with Diva/Zebra/etc., since they have way to many parameters, but the Uhbiks should just show all.

Hint for a feature request

So use the stock devices then hehehe.....
The uhbiks are great, have their own karakter, are light on cpu and look wonderful. I guess you could choose, vst or rack unit...

No I'm not. I'm using those cheaper alternatives Except for reverbs.. RV7 is still the king of the hill.

Whatever works for you...

I think that Urs quite offen told about fantastic things to come with the project called Uhbik.
It is very hard to wait for things to come. Perhaps sometimes?

I don't think this is right. With u-he plugins you usually buy a personalised license, no matter what the platform is. You can install them on as many systems and OSes as you like, as long as you are the user.

Urs wanted to make the Uhbiks kind of modular. At least that was my interpretation, as in being able to connect the LFO of something like the flanger, then modulate a parameter, maybe something like the frequency shifter's amount or phase. But I think the plan got shelved due to the amount of work involved, plus perhaps, its difficulty.

As long as we're talking native plugins (PC/Mac/Linux), yes. Because we know "who bought what".

But Rack Extensions are a proprietary and closed "platform" of their own, one that we don't have insight into and one that creates additional expenses for us. We don't know "who bought what", all we are informed about is "how many were bought" and that's it.

So I'm afraid we can't reliably verify any "entitlement", at least not that I am aware of.

Shelved maybe, but not too deep down, and definitely not forgotten.
