We called our new baby \"Colour Copy\" because it can deliver the kind of colouration people still love in classic BBD units, but with a wider variety of colours. Colour Copy started life as the little delay unit called \"Lyrebird\" we built into Repro-1, but the sound was too good not to be developed further and become an FX plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most digital delays the delay time alters the size of the buffer. If you quickly modulate or sweep the delay time on a typical digital unit, unmusical glitches propagate through the feedback as the buffer is shortened or lengthened. Like a real BBD, Colour Copy changes the internal samplerate instead (i.e. how fast the \"buckets\" pass on their content), and this is why Colour Copy is smooth with a capital SMOO!\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring development we soon realized that we could capture the essence of the entire range of classic bucket brigade delays – from the low-range rumbling, slowly evolving delays to the highly resonant, screaming characters. A single knob lets you continuously blend between the five finely-tuned \"colour\" macros. The differences may be subtle, but each one is rich in detail. In addition to obvious differences in frequency bandwidth, each comes with its own noise and dynamic characteristics, frequency loss over time, and several other qualities. The Saturation knob controls how prominent or subtle those characteristics should be, in case you want to dial back the colouration to better fit in the mix. Finally, a Brightness knob lets you adjust the bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour Copy is capable of a huge variety of different delay-based effects. With delay times ranging from under a millisecond to several seconds, you can create anything from comb-filter and flange\/chorus effects to regular ping-pong delays and longer \"looper\" effects. The routing options let you mix or swap the input and feedback signals independently or even invert the feedback phase for various phase cancellation effects when delay times are set very short. Additionally, unlike hardware BBD units, Colour Copy's left and right output \"taps\" can be placed anywhere along the delay lines. This feature lets you move echos independently \"forward in time\" for e.g. ping-pong or \"rushing\" delays as well as various stereo chorus or flanger effects. You never knew you'd want three different ways to create a ping-pong effect!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnimation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour Copy comes with a stereo LFO that can be used to modulate either the delay rate, the tap positions or the delay amplitude. With a range of 0.05Hz to 20Hz (as times: 20s to 50ms) the LFO can create chorus, vibrato and tremolo effects. Crank up the modulation depth for deep pitch-shifting. An envelope follow signal derived from the input signal can be used to modulate the LFO frequency and depth, adding realtime dynamics to the effects.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour Copy comes with the obligatory ducking compressor, but with a unique twist: You can select whether to duck the entire delay output or just the feedback signal. This latter option leaves the very first delay unaffected, preserving the overall stereo \"space\" while preventing the sonic mayhem that high regeneration often causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people like to perform on their BBD hardware, pitching the regeneration up and down by twisting the rate knob. We took Colour Copy a step further in this direction by adding a pair of creative features: Firstly, a freeze button that loops the contents of the delay buffer for as long as you like. Secondly, MIDI key control so that you can play Colour Copy like a mono synth – each octave up doubles the delay rate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"u-he","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425512866041,"sku":"1358-1015","price":95.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/uhe-colourcopy-screenshot-fullui-1150x455.jpg?v=1771377859"},{"product_id":"u-he-twangstrom","title":"u-he Twangstrom","description":"\u003cp\u003eA flexible spring reverb box-of-tricks. If you're familiar with Bazille, you might already have come across its built-in spring unit.

You can push these characteristics further using the Circuit Bending options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the bottom end needs beefing up, try adding the sub-oscillator. For more intense, complex sounds, try VCO2’s ring modulation, sync and cross modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMapping Generator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot typically found in analogue synthesizers, ACE’s Mapping Generator is a useful addition with a variety of uses. The Mapping Generator is a list of up to 128 values. You can use the drawing tools to edit the values and create your own patterns, or choose pre-built shapes. This map can be stepped through for each played note, it can create per-note offsets, it can transform any modulation source or be used as the LFO2 waveform.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFilter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the oscillators, the two filters are modeled on analog hardware and deliver satisfyingly analog results. You can overdrive the filters without introducing any harsh distortion, and the resonance remains intact. Or you can take advantage of the self-oscillation feature for chaotic timbres and more experimental sound design.\n\nFor an extra aggressive sound, route your signal through both filters and crank the resonance on the second filter. Both filters are cascade type multimode circuits with two parallel outputs each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCables anywhere and everywhere\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACE takes after hardware modular synthesizers, although it is not a truly modular design, more correctly it is semi-modular. ACE has a default fixed architecture (like for instance the ARP 2600), which means you can start making noise immediately ‘out-of-the-box’. Any default routing can be overridden by patching cables, which means that the options are practically limitless.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACE does not differentiate between audio signals and control signals. Any of the outputs can be plugged into any of the signal inputs. Hook things up, explore new ideas and crazy combinations. Try LFOs as audio oscillators or a VCO as LFO.

Construct your (im)perfect tape machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce reserved for major studios, digital recording has become widespread. It offers pristine sound and comfortable editing at a fraction of the cost of multitrack tape. Despite all the advantages, however, digital audio can easily sound too clean and impersonal. So musicians, producers and audio engineers have turned to traditional analogue tools to bring some life back into overly clinical recordings. A world of non-linear behaviours, distortion, saturation and much more arises during tape recording and playback.

Every detail of the original was captured using component-level modelling technology to create the most authentic model possible. All the subtle characteristics and quirks found in the originals are present in Repro. One product, one installer, two synths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepro-1 is a fierce monosynth: The classic design gives you immediate access to all the raw power: Two oscillators, self-oscillating 4-pole lowpass filter, arpeggiator, step sequencer, the unique modulation section, and five stomp-box effects which can be arranged in any order. Hard working, raw sounding and immediately playable, it's a simple and intuitive synthesizer which belies a deep feature set capable of a wide range of sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBasics and history\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in is a component-level model of perhaps the most powerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. In the early 1980s, polyphonic synthesizers were almost within reach of the average musician. To be commercially viable, any new monophonic instrument had to be cheap but very capable. Fat drones, cutting leads, funky basses, quirky sci-fi sound effects – this synthesizer delivered on all counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit design made good use of standard Curtis chips and the little onboard sequencer was more than just a welcome extra. Despite its molded plastic panel and the limitations of monophony, it sold surprisingly well and is generally recognized as an iconic piece of synthesizer history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur plug-in version includes all the lovable quirks of this classic synth, but with a much more capable sequencer, lots of presets, several under-the-hood tweaks, more modulation options, and as a plus: a great collection of cute stomp-box effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTweaks panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApart from being unashamed eye-candy, the Tweaks page is there to let you change the fundamental behaviour of individual modules. There are 5 user-adjustable jumpers (mini circuit connectors) and 5 module tweak selectors. While on this page, all the main controls of the synthesizer are still accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeside the option to modify the synth's fundamental characteristics through jumpers and selectors, the panel also includes access to the Microtuning section with many included presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sequencer in the original hardware may have been a stroke of genius. Repro-1's version lets you step-record two patterns of up to 32 notes each, which are also saved with the preset and support copy\/paste of pattern's presets between different instances of the plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther than having more steps than the original, the integrated sequencer supports per-step velocity, a rest button to add pauses, the ability to record your own sequences through a MIDI controller, and other improvements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStomp-boxes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepro-1 ships with a set of 5 high quality effects in the shape of stomp-boxes. From subtle to extreme adjustments, this section expands the analogue synthesizer's capabilities beyond expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effects section includes Jaws (wavefolder), Lyrebird (a flexible delay, which inspired the creation of Colour Copy), RESQ (semi-parametric EQ or resonator), Drench (a lush plate reverb), and Sonic Conditioner (a stereo saturator and transient designer - to add the right amount of gelatine to your patches). All effects are rearrangeable through drag and drop in the FX Chain section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Repro-5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepro-5 shares a lot of sonic DNA with Repro-1, but adds new flavours and characteristics. First: it’s polyphonic! Play rich pads, shape them using the resonant lowpass filter, drive the polyphonic distortion unit as hard as you like, and finally polish your sound with five built-in effects. Keep it lush, or go for thick detuned unison leads. Repro-5 adds new dimensions to the familiar classic sound while keeping analogue authenticity front and centre.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst we released Repro-1, a faithful component-level model of what was perhaps the mostpowerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. It seemed that people liked Repro-1 so much, they wanted more … Would we please consider making it polyphonic?\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter umming and ahing about the idea, we decided to give it our best. A few cuts were inevitable (for instance in Repro-1, oscillator B can modulate its own pulse width, which we gladly dropped from Repro-5). We soon realized what was happening to our new baby: It was looking more and more like its true father, a famous 5-voice polyphonic synthesizer from the same company born in 1978.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTweaks panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye-candy like in Repro-1, the Tweaks page is there to let you change the fundamental behaviour of individual modules. The Repro-5 version includes 10 user-adjustable jumpers (mini circuit connectors) and 6 module tweak selectors, plus Microtuning. All the main controls of the synthesizer are also accessible.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, since Repro-5 is polyphonic, there’s access to a row of 8 trimmers used to set a stereo pan position for each individual voice.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyphonic distortion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Repro-1 includes a sequencer, Repro-5 comes with a distortion unit.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach voice has its own processor, which means there is no interaction between notes in a chord.\nThe distortion gets applied to the signal before the rest of the included effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are four different modes available:\nSoft Clip, Hard Clip, Foldback, and Corrode - a sample rate reducer and bit crusher, all-in-one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStomp-boxes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepro-5 ships with a set of 5 (excluding the distortion unit) high quality effects in the shape of stomp-boxes.

Four main Oscillators morph between hand-drawn spline waveforms and can render as classic wavetables with up to 16-voice unison or as additive engines with up to 1024 sine partials. Each Oscillator has two serial FX slots offering 20 processes — from spectral filtering and phase distortion to animated spectral decay. Four FM Oscillators (comprising a modulator and carrier pair) chain freely — each accepts any rack signal as a third operator, so you can build complex FM algorithms without a fixed topology.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise generators, Exciters and Modal Resonators are designed to work together: drive a marimba or bell profile with a shaped noise burst or a patterned pluck excitation, then route the result through one of over 105 filter responses — including some of the finest analogue-modelled filters we have ever made — a Comb in reverb mode, or straight into an FM Oscillator as a modulator.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated Wavefolder, Ring Modulator and Distortion modules add harmonics anywhere in the signal path.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector mixing lets you crossfade or XY-morph between four sources, and almost every parameter across the rack — filter cutoff, fold depth, comb detune, resonator position — is a valid modulation target. The result is a single voice architecture that can go from pristine additive pads to gnarly physical-modelling textures without ever leaving the Grid.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModulation Rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZebra 3 treats modulation as seriously as sound generation. Four ADSR Envelopes offer velocity sensitivity and a One Shot mode, with two Vary parameters adding options like delay, curvature (self-modulation), stretching or key scaling. Four LFOs cover sine, triangle, saw, square, sample-and-hold and smooth random — with tempo sync, phase offset and a delay ramp for gradual onset. Four MSEGs take things further: up to eight morphable curves along a shared timeline with freely positioned loop points, using the same spline editor as the oscillator. Attack, loop and release macros dynamically scale the speed and amplitude.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the Rack, on their own page, four dedicated Pitch modules give detailed control over tuning, glide and quantisation, independently managing up to four pitched parts within a single voice. And critically, many modulators double as triggers: an MSEG can drive an Exciter for patterned physical-modelling sequences, bringing rhythmic and melodic structure into the voice itself. In Zebra 3, pitch and gates live on equal footing with regular modulations.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaping and combining modulation sources is a particularly interesting area: Four Mappers let you reshape any modulation signal through a custom transfer curve — turning a linear ramp into a logarithmic sweep or a smooth fade into a stepped pattern — and trigger signals can transform a Mapper into a step sequencer. Four Mod Math modules combine, multiply and transform sources before they reach their target, so you can ring-modulate two LFOs against each other or gate randomness with an envelope — all without touching the signal chain.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEffects Rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZebra 3’s FX Grid receives audio from the four voice lanes via four global buses, Main plus three auxiliary sends. The send levels from the voice grid are modulatable per voice, so effects depth becomes part of the polyphonic expression even though the effects themselves are global.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rack is built for impact. ModFX units cover chorus, flanging and phasing with their own internal LFOs, going well beyond typical stage counts — e.g. up to eight-voice chorus and 24-stage phasers with a choice of digital or analogue feel. Delays offer mono, stereo and ping-pong modes with tempo-synced note divisions, feedback filtering, modulation and a Diffusion (smearing) option, available in both analogue-modelled and digital flavours. Two Reverb models — Classic and Lush — offer everything from tight rooms to vast halls, while the TextureVerb effect scatters granular micro-fragments of audio for shimmering, abstract ambiences.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompressors placed anywhere in the grid can glue a reverb tail, tame the dynamics after deep modulation effects, or produce sidechain-style pumping entirely within the patch. EQs, Filters, Distortion, Ring Modulator and Wavefolder modules are the same as their namesakes in the Generator Rack, so the tonal options you know from voice-level processing are also available for post-mix shaping. Two stereo mixers, a 4-in-1 mixer with vector and scan function, plus a complex 4-in-4 mixer are also available in the FX section.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"u-he","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48325541167353,"sku":"1358-4317","price":345.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/spotlight.webp?v=1777276891"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/collections\/brand-logo-u-he-software-9772d725.png?v=1786573363","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/collections\/u-he.oembed","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
