u-he Uhbik v2.0.0 [WiN, MacOSX]

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.
