u-he has announced the release of a significant and free update to its suite of effect plugins. Uhbik 2.0 introduces a complete visual overhaul, a powerful new modulation system, and adds a brand-new Compressor to the collection.
Each plug-in has been reworked for a smoother workflow and greater creative flexibility. Highlights include an 8-slot modulation matrix with new sources such as LFO, envelope follower and modulation mapper, plus our powerful new preset browser.
