Includes BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble plug-in & OSX Tiger support
Universal Audio, a manufacturer of high-quality vintage audio hardware and DSP
software plug-ins for digital audio workstations, today announced the web launch
of v3.9 software for the UAD-1 DSP Card & Powered Plug-Ins system. Version
3.9 includes a 14-day fully functional demo of the first of three announced
emulations of vintage Roland effects units; the Boss CE-1 Chorus. Full authorizations
of the CE-1 plug-in may be purchased for US$99 from my.uaudio.com
"The Roland/Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble is the first UAD plug-in to be released
as part of our strategic relationship with Roland Corporation." said Mike
Barnes, Director of Marketing for Universal Audio. "After successfully
partnering on the VS8F3 plug-project, we worked with Roland to apply our respected
modeling techniques to clone a classic 'stomp-box'. The CE-1 plug-in delivers
all of those inimitable lush, wide-stereo chorus sounds unique to - BOSS's first
generation, analog-aficionado's unit."
Version 3.9 also includes updated drivers for Apple's OSX 10.4 "Tiger"
operating system and a number of further enhancements for improved functionality
with Apple's Logic Pro DAW application and G5 computers but will be the last
UAD-1 release for legacy OS9.
"Although the UAD-1 started life as a PC-only product, our continued
investment in developing for the Apple OS platform has seen our Mac customers
grow to almost half our current user base" said Joe Bryan, UA's VP of Engineering.
" Version 3.9 gets UAD-1 onto Tiger and the latest generation of Mac's
and we have an ongoing dialog with Apple/Emagic engineering to ensure regular
updates and the continued integration of UAD-1 with Apple's latest OS, application
and hardware platforms."
About the UAD-1 DSP Card
At the heart of every UAD-1 DSP Card & Powered Plug-Ins package is the
revolutionary UAD-1 DSP card. Because of its high resolution, floating-point
processing, ultra high-speed memory and hardware dithering, the UAD-1 delivers
outstanding high-headroom sound quality at sample rates from 32 to 192khz. Unlike
other DSP cards, the UAD-1 uses a single, unpartitioned vector processor, allowing
for larger and more sophisticated plug-in algorithms offering a new level of
power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By greatly reducing
the burden on the computer's CPU, the host application can now deliver more
tracks, automation and native effects.
