I just noticed that U-he released a big update to their Uhbik effect suite. I bought it more than 10 years ago and I love some stuff, especially the grainshifter. Other developers charged for multiple upgrades during that time, sometimes nearly full price for owners of previous versions. I love that U-he made the upgrade completely free.
Apart from a new look, a new compressor plugin and modulation options that most people can already do in their DAW, I don’t see much new right now. But it’s great to finally get an update after all that time, and even for free despite current trends in terms of subscription models and yearly paid upgrades.
That’s actually pretty cool. Do you know offhand if they still allow really complex reskinning? I always hate their workflow initially until someone like Plugmon comes along and makes it better.
UVI and UHE can safely be added to the ‘nice’ list. That’s seriously good to know for future purchases!
Two of my fave companies - I have a lot of their stuff. U-he rarely have sales though, so it’s prevented me from buying a few more recent VSTs they have… Not that I need more VSTs, mind
Sorry, no idea about the reskinning, but I think the Uhbik plugins are small enough that it probably doesn’t matter so much compared to U-he synths. I worked a bit with a free Bazille version some years ago and I also would have been happy about a reskinned version…
