UAD “Native plugins” enquiry

[horizon7]

Greetings,
Recently Universal Audio released Native Plugins bundle which works directly in PC without the need for the Hardware.
So Anyone who tried them before has any recommendation what do you think about those plugins? are they worth buying?

Can’t comment as I haven’t tried them, but there’s a lot of info in this thread.

Thanks Uncle E for the great list, unfortunately not all plugins available within the native plugins unless UA hardware is there. In the native diamond bundle I see some basic ones like for example Hitsville EQ & pure plat reverb.
working with EQ I prefer the EQ founded in API Vision Channel Strip.

However in general those 50's or 60's EQ's are dedicated for coloring purposes unlike parametric EQ where they are more to surgical freq solving task.
I feel Galaxy Tape is not like Arturia Delay Tape-201 Arturia's emulation is better with extra features like Ping Pong.
UA Lexicon 224 it's buttons likely has manual traditional style switch but it's quality is not like "NI Softube RC reverb" the latter has more lush full character.

UA synthesizers sounds excellent with warm filters I wish they add more synths in the future.
I wish more plugins joins the native bundle in the future. the current native plugins seems old already while the newest ones work with advantage of Apollo or UA hardware.
