Universal Audio Eventide H910 Harmonizer Plug-In
Universal Audio in Scotts Valley, Calif., is releasing UAD Software Version 8.4, featuring four exclusive new plug-ins for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces: the Eventide H910 Harmonizer ($249), Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 ($199), and Silver Jubilee 2555 amplifiers ($199), as well as UA’s own Oxide Tape Recorder ($149).
Developed for Universal Audio by Eventide, the Eventide H910 Harmonizer plug-in is reportedly the first and only end-to-end circuit emulation of the iconic mid-’70s processor. From sci-fi sound design to pop music landmarks from David Bowie and AC/DC, the H910’s analog/digital circuit generated previously unheard combinations of pitch change, delay, harmonization and modulation effects.
In developing this landmark processor exclusively for UAD-2 and Apollo hardware, Eventide modeled the H910’s entire analog/digital circuit, including its custom-built A/D converter. This allows the H910 Harmonizer plug-in to retain the original hardware’s characteristic tone and dynamics.
The Eventide H910 Harmonizer Plug-In features keyboard and MIDI control for instantly setting pitch ratios in semitones, and pitch change up to two octaves with signature “glitching” effects.
Universal Audio’s Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 Plug-In
Developed by Softube, the Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 plug-in is an expert emulation of the rare 2×12 combo tube amplifier used on the highly influential 1966 album Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton. All Marshall plug-ins include UA’s Unison technology; Apollo user’s guitar pickups will see the exact impedance load as if they’re plugged into a vintage Marshall Bluesbreaker, a feature that Universal Audio states is found only on Apollo audio interfaces.
The Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 plug-in features Unison technology for Apollo interfaces; three different virtual microphone combinations: FET, Valve, and Dynamic; an onboard mixer with microphone level and pan; and 50 presets designed by AC/DC engineer Tony Platt.
Universal Audio’s Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 Plug-In
Developed by Softube, and available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo audio interfaces, the Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 plug-in is reportedly an exacting emulation of the high-powered tube amplifier. With its flexible three-mode preamp section and dynamic distortion, it became a go-to for Slash, John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alex Lifeson of Rush.
The Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 plug-in features Unison technology for Apollo interfaces; two different virtual microphone combinations: Condenser and Dynamic; onboard mixer features microphone level and pan; and 50 presets designed by legendary AC/DC engineer Tony Platt.
