Robust instrument layers
Quadra’s four robust instrument layers make crafting tantalizing performances a piece of cake. The layers are built from an assortment of 150 ear-grabbing, deep-sampled sources. This mind-bending virtual instrument comes with a wide assortment of instruments, including DI-ed and amplified acoustic and electric guitars, along with occidental and Asian stringed instruments, such as the harp, cello, violin, viola, cimbalom, Nagoya harp, guzheng, and qanun. You also get acoustic and electric pianos, with a concert grand, upright, clavinet, and electric grand, plus custom-designed analog-style, FM, and modeled synth sounds.
Formidable multimode 64-step sequencers
Each of UVI Quadra’s four instrument layers includes a formidable multimode 64-step sequencer. These feature-laden sequencers include versatile MIDI effects that facilitate rhythmic grooves, arpeggiated sequences, and slick-sounding harmonies. You can also use them to quantize incoming notes to specific scales. There’s plenty of customization on tap, thanks to tweakable global rate, gate length, and max velocity. You can also tailor your sequence with per-step velocity, link, harmonization, pitch offset, octave offset, gate, step repeat, and panning. Quadra permits you to save your patterns as presets for sharing and fast, easy recall. You can even drag and drop your sequences into a MIDI track of your DAW.
Powerful, expressive controls
Generating complex, evolving textures and sequences with Quadra is easy — it’s an eminently creative software instrument. And after you achieve the sounds that are in your head, you can assign them to separate key zones and perform them discretely. Then, explore your imagination — in real time — with arpeggiators, phrase sequencers, and MIDI effects for one-of-a-kind rhythmic and melodic motifs. You also get a mappable X/Y pad for morphing between sounds and global dynamics and transient emphasis controls for automating the intensity of your soundscapes.
Creativity-enhancing features
UVI Quadra is a jam-packed virtual instrument. You get a full ADSR amplifier and multimode envelope control, plus unison, 64-step arpeggiators and sequencers, and real-time scale quantization. MIDI effects include Euclidean emphasis and pitch drift, while audio effects include a frequency shifter, waveshaper, chorus, phaser, and 3-band EQ. You also get pre-mapped effects like vibrato, tremolo, a second frequency shifter, and overdrive — all of which can be manipulated with your keyboard controller’s mod wheel. Reverb and delay sends round out Quadra’s inspiring features.
