If you plan to do so have a look at the current NI Sale. Many things at 50%. The full collection is specially interesting. Sales on U-he are infrequent (every 2 years the last 3 ones).sl23 wrote: Fri Dec 23, 2022 4:58 pm Definitely a company worth supporting and will be buying many more plugins from u-he!

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate the sentiment,but I only ever use portable software. I have no idea why developers and users insist on the minefield of software installers! But hey, ya can't change the world 
I'm only an amateur hobbyist, it's all just for fun and I'm more than happy with u-he's synths. Nobody likes paying out loads of money, but if I feel its worth it, I'll pay whatever I have to. Without getting too philosophical, money means nothing to me. I'm not well off, not by any means, but I refuse to make it my reason for living as so many people often do. If I want something and itdoes what I need, I'll get it.
I went to get the Roland Fantom at 3K and after actually using it for 3 days, I returned it as it wasn't what I needed. It was then that I realised that hardware will never be what I want or need. I've had quite a lot of hardware, but I never had space to connect everything up and leave it out. So I just wanted an all in one box for messing about with.it has a lot of features but misses so many basic things that will never get fixed or added that I realised that quickly it wasn't for me.
I'm very restrictive on what I spend my money on and only buy what I need. I don't want a hundred synths/fx that I don't know how to work cos I'm too busy looking at the next best thing, I want to spend my time enjoying making music, however bad it may be, but I enjoy it.
Sorry for the deep dark! Thanks again for your tip, hope you all have a great Christmas!

) news for you: you buy through the NI shop a redeeming code for U-he's site. On U-he's site you enter the redeeming code and you get e-mailed your U-he serial.It's for all effects as if you bought from U-he directly: no download managers, no phone home. You only use your serials.
I get your point, I got the whole bundle on the past sale 2 years ago and still haven't had time to fully become expert on all the synths I bought. They still get a lot use, just that I never got to know them like I did with Bazille.
Merry christmas.

Is there any difference buying from NI as opposed to buying from U-He direct? Any limitations on the product or updates for example?
I'd like to take advantage of the deal on Diva and Hive, but just wanted to check there's no hidden drawbacks!
Thanks

Absolutely no drawbacks, except it's only half our catalog (only things we ported to NKS)sl23 wrote: Thu Dec 29, 2022 10:05 pm Is there any difference buying from NI as opposed to buying from U-He direct? Any limitations on the product or updates for example?

Catalina? (10.15?)* I've been running everything on Monterey (12.5) including these Uhbik's …
Now, I'm VENTURA READY (almost) whenever you are. I'm going to start to migrate files to new silicon mac book pro which has arrived now, more than a week sooner than Apple promised. Is it just the Uhbik's and Filterscape that won't run on the new machines? Anything I need to be aware of before getting the new mac ready?
* surprising, I thought 10.15 is the same High Sierra running on the old macbook pro which doesn't support most of the music or other more recent apps I use

Only Uhbik, Filterscape and TyrellN6 don't come with native Silicon support (yet) and will run via Rosetta.
All others will run natively.

Any update on this? I'm experiencing a lot of crashes and bugs which is expected from an alpha version. Excited about the beautiful new GUIs (very sluggish currently in Bitwig) and of course future Apple silicone support.
Btw what do the tiny meters below the preset title indicate?

Development work on Filterscape is almost done, then begins focus on Uhbik. Some parts of the team are already picking up on it.
(The work on these alphas came to a halt early in the pandemic, when we had to reinvent how we do things, and then decided to tackle our parallel maintenance projects by doing them one by one, in ascending order of difficulty, starting with MFM2, Filterscape and then Uhbik, while we train new staff in the understanding of the codebase off these plug-ins. Out of these, MFM 2.5 has of course been released, Filterscape is in a super mature state, so a new set of alphas or betas of Uhbik is almost on the table, but I would prefer to wait with estimates until the whole dev team has had a look at it)
About issues with the current set of alphas, I do not know much about these. If they haven't been mentioned in this thread, we might not know about them, and if we do, I suspect that those issues, particularly UI, were addressed in our codebase, but then we really need to finish Filterscape first before we can evaluate where we are and when we'll have a chance to post new versions.
(which reminds me, one thing I've worked on in Filterscape, and which I need to do some final few days of work on, is the visualisation of the EQ response. This now - in the upcoming version - uses morphing spline based curves made with the technology and editors we did for Zebra3. And the reason we do this in Filterscape now is actually fixing the issue of excessive CPU usage caused by the same in Uhbik-Q, which was one of the showstoppers in these alphas. So naturally, we will do the same in Uhbik-Q, and that'll fix one major UI problem that was left over - once it's done in Filterscape, and then translated to Uhbik-Q)

Thanks for the reply Urs.
Some Uhbik plugins crash in Logic, especially the Q, C, and A, though I'm on a M1 Mac.
I have a lot of sluggish/laggy GUI performance, especially in Bitwig.
Uhbik D's delay taps are muted when the pan is at 0.
I wish Uhbik-D got a bit more love in this release, as I think it's definitely the weakest link in the collection.
The UI could be more user-friendly as there's no good visual representation of how the multiple taps are placed. The tiny non-stepped time multipliers feel cumbersome and imprecise. There's no way to filter the taps, only the feedback line and the feedback filter slopes are way too gentle for my liking. They're not even a way to toggle on and off a tap! I think this one breaks with the Uhbik ethos.
To end on a positive note, I am really enjoying the new modes in Uhbik A and P, and the C's inflate feature sounds fantastic!

Is it possible to change the 'Uhbik-one letter' names to something less confusing in the future update?
