Universal Audio announced it has agreed with AMS Neve to develop impersonations of Neve signal processors. The first of these will be the
Neve 1073 Equalizer at a date undisclosed. Universal Audio also announced the availability of the 4.2 software for the UAD-1 DSP card which will ship this first quarter 2006. This update will include a demo version (14 days) of the $249 Roland Classic FX series. This new bundle is composed of recreations of the
Roland Dimension D SDD-320 and
BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, along with the
Roland RE-201 Space Echo. Features of this last one:
- Tape echo modeling, with saturation, wow & flutter, and splice point
- Tape oscillation effects
- Spring reverb tank emulation
- Tape-Head "Mode" Selector, Intensity and "Dub" switch
- UA unique features like DAW tempo sync, effects pan, tape type & splice-trigger
- 3 User-selectable tape quality grades including "new", "used" and "old"
Note that the Roland Classic FX series price will rise to $399 after the promotion limited period
(and don't ask us how long it'll be… but if it can make the second hand price of REs going down, I'd be happy to have one ;) ).
