Called One (and still available), that modest first offering eventually grew into the dual-oscillator Twin, which was upgraded to the three-oscillator Twin 2 in 2009 – and now, 14 years later, Twin 3 has dropped, bringing this under-rated virtual analogue up to modern standards in terms of GUI, capabilities and sound. Good call, UA.ĭespite their focus having been placed almost entirely on effects plugins ever since, primo plugin house FabFilter’s 2004 debut release was in fact a basic single-oscillator synth. Oh, and needless to say, owners of the DSP versions of any of the covered plugins can get the native versions for free via UA Connect.
With the external DSP aspect of UAD plugins becoming increasingly irrelevant in the face of today’s ultra-speedy Macs and PCs, we’re delighted that anyone can now run these superb software effects and instruments natively. Among the vintage emulations on offer are the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection, Pultec Passive EQ Collection, Teletronix LA-2A Leveler Collection, API 2500 Bus Compressor and Vision Channel Strip Collection, Studio D Chorus, Studer A800 Tape Recorder, Moog Minimoog and Waterfall B3 Organ and the three bundles net you ten (UAD Creative Edition), 23 (UAD Mix Edition) or 28 (UAD Diamond Edition – very cheeky!) plugins.
Currently, 28 UAD plugins are available in fully native versions, and you can buy them individually or in three discounted bundles.
It’s felt kind of inevitable since the launch of Spark, but at long last, Universal Audio have completely untethered their acclaimed UAD plugin line – well, a good number of them, at least – from requiring of external DSP hardware to run or a subscription fee to own.
