The new version 4 software for the UAD-1 includes a fully functional 2-week demo of the Roland Dimension D plug-in. The Dimension D will be available for purchase either separately or, for a limited time, bundled with the Roland CE-1 chorus. UA went to great lengths to preserve the analog “bucket brigade” chorus design and sonic characteristics in the plug-in.
Precision Multiband is a new mastering compressor/expander/gate for the UAD-1 DSP card that provides 5-band dynamic range control. Each of the three processors can be selected independently for each of the five frequency bands. Two filter modes offer linear-phase or minimum-phase gain control, for both “digital” and “analog” types of sounds. The graphic design will be easily understood by both novices and experts.
Classic tape echo and spring reverb are the hallmarks of the Space Echo RE-201, a meticulous re-creation of the vintage Roland system. The new plug-in captures all the “features” of this complex device, including the characteristic distortion, wow and flutter, phase shifting, and warmth of the tape delay. The RE-201 can even reproduce the unit’s self-oscillation, turning it into a unique instrument as well.
