Both updates are free for owners of the respective plugins and can be installed over your existing version.
The updates will be showcased in the upcoming Superbooth 18 show in Berlin from May 3rd to 5th, alongside the Eurorack module that was introduced earlier.
u-he has also launched its new website, which brings various improvements and more interactive content.
The old site has served us well over the years, but we have finally outgrown it. So we rolled up our sleeves and rebuilt everything from scratch—creating new sections, improving the functionality and adding more interactivity. We think the new website turned out great and gives us a solid platform to keep growing.
The site is freshly launched, so we are still smoothing out a few rough edges. If you find something broken or missing please let us know. Thanks!
