New Universal Audio UAD software v9.1, just released, includes new UA-developed SSL 4000 E Channel Strip and Moog Multimode Filter plugin collections.
In close partnership with Solid State Logic, the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip collection is designed for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces — an end-to-end circuit emulation that goes beyond UA’s original SSL 4000 E Channel Strip plugin.
UA’s team of engineers faithfully modeled the original preamp’s Jensen input transformers and dbx “gold-can” VCA output section. By capturing the preamp’s signature nonlinear amp behaviors, the new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip collection offers the expansive, punchy, deep, assertive character of the original hardware.
Owners of Apollo audio interfaces can track in real time with SSL’s vintage analog channel, like having the original hardware. The SSL 4000 E Channel Strip collection plug-in also supports Universal Audio’s Unison technology, giving Apollo users the SSL 4000 E’s all-important impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors.
With its rich sounds and built-in sequencing capabilities, the new Moog Multimode Filter collection — a one year effort between Moog Music and UA — borrows from various incarnations of Moog designs, presenting the essential Moog filter character.
Along with numerous filter enhancements and an expanded Envelope control, the Moog Multimode Filter XL plugin includes an intuitive, full-featured, four-lane 16-step sequencer, giving electronic and dance producers added creative potential, from melodic and polyrhythmic pattern programing to random chaos and cacophony.
The Moog Multimode Filter collection also includes the Moog Multimode Filter Legacy plugin and its DSP-lite SE version.
