Sleek, intuitive and powerful
A collection of ten sophisticated effects with support for surround formats up to 7.1. Perfect for adding the finishing touches to your regular projects or for building wild, experimental quadraphonic effect chains… Whether you need subtle nuance or strong impact, Uhbik has you covered!
Uhbik Ambience
- The best of both worlds: Early reflections plus classic plate reverb
- A choice of 4 very different reverb algorithms: small, direct, open, natural
- Separate bass and treble decay times, treble cutoff frequency control
Uhbik Delay
- 5 parallel taps with individual controls for delay time, pan, volume, feedback
- Tempo control with built-in modulation via simple LFO or tape flutter
- Highpass and lowpass filters with soft clip distortion
Uhbik Compressor
- sophisticated, but simple to use
- standard compression plus inflation
- feed-back as well as feed-forward detection
Uhbik Runciter
- filter with characterful resonance and distortion
- parallel lowpass, bandpass and highpass outputs
- additional fuzz stage
Uhbik Equalizer
- versatile EQ with intuitive, streamlined multi-band control
- two semi-parametric bands for precise, surgical tone shaping
- automatically adjusted Q-factors for smooth, musical results
Uhbik Grainshift
- 2 modes: granular pitch shifting or phase vocoding
- transposition in semitones, iteration (feedback)
- negative SCALE values play grains backwards
Uhbik Shifter
- continuous (barber-pole) frequency shift effect
- syncable to song tempo
- frequency offset for spatial effects across channels
Uhbik Flanger
- classic tape machine “through zero” flanging, host-syncable
- extra delay for further chorus / flange effects
- drive: 2nd harmonic distortion for a more pronounced “whoosh”
Uhbik Phaser
- exceptionally rich comb effects using up to 42 all-pass filters
- bass sanctuary: highpass filter eliminates unwanted boom
- host-syncable
Uhbik Tremolo
- rhythms: user-definable patterns in an 11x16 grid
- surround positions via Haas effect (short delays between channels)
- extended flow LFO for “swing” effects
Surround Processing
Uhbik can handle up to 8 channels surround, including e.g. quadraphony, 5.1 and 7.1. When applied to multichannel tracks, the channel offset parameter in the Flanger, Phaser, Grainshift and Tremolo spans all active channels—for dramatic effects that rotate around your head. Even the Delay’s panning controls are not simply stereophonic—they pan across all active channels.
Matrix
The 8-slot modulation matrix is used for adding motion by assigning modulation sources (MIDI, LFO, Envelope, Mapper) to any continuous controls on the panel. Modulation matrix assignments can be created very comfortably via drag & drop, then modified within the matrix slot in various ways.
Scope
Uhbik’s built-in oscilloscope is an essential visual aid for crafting rhythmic effects. You can view the audio output and/or up to four modulation signals at the same time—including the output of a modulation matrix slot—in any combination.
Mapper
The “Mapper” modulation source is a table that can hold up to 128 values between −100.00 and +100.00. How these values are interpreted depends on the selected Mode: MIDI notes, mapped modulation sources, triggered increments…
Envelope
Similar to the function generators seen in modern modular synthesizers, Uhbik’s envelope is a very flexible modulation source indeed. It can serve as an envelope follower, reacting to dynamics in the audio material, or can be triggered by audio signals or by any of the available modulation sources.
LFOs
A multi-waveform, general purpose low frequency oscillator you can use for any cyclic modulation, for Sample & Hold triggering, or as a source for the Mapper. The three cyclic effects (Flanger, Phaser and Tremolo) include another LFO hardwired to the main ‘character’ parameter of each effect.
