SCOTTS VALLEY, CA • March 14, 2017  Universal Audio is pleased to announce the release of UAD Software v9.1. Alongside the new UA-developed SSL® 4000 E Channel Strip and Moog® Multimode Filter Collections, this latest software release features three new plug-ins from UA's esteemed direct developers –– Softube's OTO® BISCUIT 8-bit Effects, plus Brainworx's bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer and Fuchs® Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier plug-ins.

OTO BISCUIT 8-Bit Effects –– $249


Developed by Softube and available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces, the OTO BISCUIT 8-bit Effects Plug-In is an exacting emulation of the hard-to-find hardware that quickly gained favor with EDM producers, DJs, and remixers with its lush soundscapes, waveshaping, and pitch-shifting effects.

The OTO BISCUIT 8-bit Effects Plug-In allows for creative mangling of sources on a bit-per-bit level. Users can invert or mute individual bits for a wide range of classic to twisted lo-fi effects, add chiseled crunch to kick and snare drums for instant character, or dial down the sample rate clock to generate funky, trashy aliasing textures on any instrument.


OTO BISCUIT 8-bit Effects Plug-In Key Features:

  • Exacting emulation of this unique, modern lo-fi effect featuring both the digital and analog circuits
  • Versatile 8-bit crushing with individually switchable and invertible bits
  • Analog stereo multimode filter with resonance control
  • Brain-mode features 4 different lo-fi effects: Waveshaper, Delay, Pitch-Shifting, and Step-Filter sequencer
  • Emulated true diode-clipping on input
  • Available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces

Brainworx bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer –– $149


Developed by Brainworx, the bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer Plug-In takes its sonic cues from the iconic dbx 120XP Subharmonic Synthesizer*. Born in the days of disco, subharmonic synthesizers helped overcome the low-end limitations of vinyl, giving DJs, sound designers, and club mixers pounding kick drums and booty-shaking basslines that defined dance music.

The bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer Plug-In enables producers to easily add massive low-end punch without affecting the midrange. Its third synthesis band extends the upper end of the synthesis range from 56 Hz up to 80 Hz, allowing for the processing of a wider range of sources, from electronic kick drums to bass synths and more.


Brainworx bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer Plug-In Key Features:

  • Three-band subharmonic synthesis with individual additive parameter adjustment for adding massive low-end punch without affecting other frequencies
  • Dual-mode saturation section with Filtering and Intensity controls
  • Mid or Stereo Synthesis Input control allows subharmonics to be generated on either mono or stereo information
  • M/S section with Mono Maker and Stereo Width allows precise control over the stereo field

Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier –– $149


Developed by Brainworx and officially endorsed by Fuchs Audio Technology, the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 Amplifier Plug-In expertly captures all of the "Dumble-inspired" nuance and tube-powered tone shaping of this legendary boutique amplifier and adds 82 high-end recording chains as well as onboard vintage delay, noise gate, and lo/hi pass filters for further tone shaping.
