UVI releases "UVI Darklight IIx" and updates UVI Workstation to v2.0.6

21st June 2012


UVI has released Darklight IIx, a new UVI instrument, inspired by "the most mythical Computer Music Instrument of the 80s".

Costing upwards of $100,000, the dream machine of the 80s was unattainable by most. Used by countless prominent artists including: Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Herbie Hancock, Jean Michel Jarre, Thomas Dolby and many more, it remains a highly regarded and sought after instrument.

UVI has created a complete set of instruments, sounds and sonic tools deeply inspired by the original digital monster. A unique, hybrid process of exhaustive multi-sampling, analysis, and advanced scripts for audio processing allowed UVI to not only capture the original character of this machine but to enhance its ability with a host of today's most powerful analog modeled filters, LFOs, envelopes and effects -- packaged in an old-school interface.

Darklight IIx offers several 'Pages', each an instrument on its own:

Page P - "Organic" Digital Sound:

Page B - Digital Drum Machine:

Page U - Creative Multi-Phraser:

"All of these combine to present you with the soul of this mythical machine, packaged in an easy-to-use interface with modern controls for enhanced expression and musicality", said Alain J Etchart, UVI Creative Manager.

Darklight IIx is compatible with all Windows and Mac OS X DAWs via the free UVI Workstation (2.0.6+). It also loads in the full-featured MOTU MachFive 3 sampler.

Price: $199
