The UAD-1 was bumped up to version 4.0. New features in version 4 include Tempo-Sync for automatically locking delay times to and LFOs to a native host DAW’s tempo. Turbo-Transfer mode enhances compatibility with multi-processor (dual-core AMD X2 and dual Intel CPU) PC systems.
In other UAD-1 news, UA unveiled the UAD-1 Flexi Pak, a “build your own” plug-in bundle that includes the UAD-1 card along with a $500 voucher that can be redeemed against the purchaser’s choice of UAD-1 plug-ins. The voucher has no expiration, so you can use it gradually as new plug-ins are introduced. The Flexi Pak is ideal for new UAD-1 users who want to custom-select the plug-ins they want, and for existing UAD-1 users who want to expand their system and add additional plug-ins.
