Universal Audio releases PolyMAX Synth and Hitsville Reverb Chambers for UAD Apollo and Spark

Universal Audio has announced the release of PolyMAX and Hitsville Reverb Chambers along with UAD Software 10.2. Both plugins are available for UAD hardware and Apollo users as well as Spark subscribers.

PolyMAX is a vintage-inspired synth that gives producers, sound designers, and musicians tones from the golden age of analog polyphonic synths featuring analog-modeled oscillators and filters, UA effects, and a selection of curated presets.

The iconic sound of analog synthesizers from the 70s and 80s left their stamp on countless records and film scores of the era and are revered to this day for their lush harmonics and ability to sit easily into any mix. Created with our deep analog-modeling expertise, PolyMAX is inspired by these timeless sounds and fits seamlessly into any DAW-based workflow.

PolyMAX is available natively via UAD Spark subscription ($19.99/month) or as a perpetual license ($199) for Apollo interface and UAD hardware owners from Universal Audio (AAX, VST, AU).

Hitsville Reverb Chambers is the first authentic plug-in emulation of the reverb chambers that shaped the Motown Sound giving users the same reverb sounds used by the producers of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, and more.

Universal Audio's Hitsville Reverb Chambers is the only reverb plug-in officially licensed by the Motown Museum, Hitsville U.S.A. Hitsville studio's attic-converted reverb chambers were essential to Motown's iconic sound. With help from the original engineers who built them, UA has captured the full character and ambience of the spaces heard on some of the greatest soul recordings ever made.

The sound of Motown music lives in all of our heads. The attic chambers at Hitsville were crucial to the emotion of those classic recordings, and we couldn't be happier to bring those same inspiring reverb effects to a new generation of music creators.

Hitsville Reverb Chambers features simple controls, allowing users to quickly dial in classic reverb sounds on vocals and instruments. With the Dynamic Room Modeling technology — the same used on UA's Capitol Chambers and Ocean Way Studios plug-ins — users can go deeper by repositioning the chamber mics to explore new sounds beyond the original positions.

Hitsville Reverb Chambers is available natively via UAD Spark subscription ($19.99/month) or as a perpetual license ($349) for Apollo interface and UAD hardware owners from Universal Audio (AAX, VST, AU).
