When can we expect a standalone saturation/overdive/distortion effect from U-he?

[medienhexer]

Something of a feature I'd like to see might be two large knobs: EVEN and ODD. Maybe macro views too, like Presswerk where we get say, Pentode, Triode and Tape?
I'd also love to have a feature which could allow me to easily isolate very specific harmonics and filter out everything else.

Part of that is available in Reviver which I really like https://www.fieldingdsp.com

Hmm, interesting ... wish they had linux builds I could try.

My real thought on this whole subject of petitioning U-he is double fold. First, I'd love to see a product resulting from their insight here--'the spirit of analog,' in the same vein as Diva, Satin, Presswerk, etc.--not another generic Juce plugin.
Two, I want a Linux build.

I made the joke earlier about slamming my cpu, which I meant. Of course, this isn't the whole picture. Yet, generally speaking, lackluster distortions, reverbs, you name it, seems to be about truncated response--for economy. Plugins like this are really only useful with a LP if you ask me.

Urs once said something like 'U-he, the company of wrecking your cpu,' which is my poor paraphrase. This is the difference though as I see it. There's plenty of low quality, generic, economical plugins out there; which I shall not spend my money upon. Moreover, the LV2 (linux) world of plugins are free and plenty, plus very good sounding! ... I want to see what U-he can bring to the game though. I think they'd make a very good device as called for here.

This would be dope. I'm honestly disappointed Fxpansion dropped Maul since it sounded very rich and had quite some power. Urs... I think you want to make the best distortion plugin. Unless that means taking two forevers to release Zebra 3, I'll take Zebra 3 instead. But like now. thx

Oh yeah, distortion plugin...

Maul was so close to being it, but I feel it was overburdened with LFOs and stuff. Don’t get me wrong, they were interesting, but I would rather have had just the straight up distortion/overdrive without all that complexity.

I never liked the sound of the crossovers in Maul. It was difficult to make a multiband sound which 'meshed'. I appreciate there was a lot of flexibility in that bands could be significantly overlapped (or even 'underlapped' - leaving parts of the spectrum empty), but it just wasn't for me. I ended up using Ohmicide most of the time. For single band work, Maul was my go-to for a good few years before plugs like SGA1566 and The Scream arrived.

I'm on board with you and irl I've never used multiband on a distortion plugin with any likeable results, that just seems weird. Their gain modeling is top game though and I've preferred it over FabFilter and many others.

Hey, Urs, what's up? You've made the best synth so how about a serious gain plugin? No multiband, just good ol' gain options. You don't need to post here, just answer with a finished plugin. kthx

An old thread revival - looks like it won't happen, but would love Jaws Wavefolder as a standalone effect either in Uhbik 2.0 or just on its own. Percentage chance <5%?

It's on our "good to have" list. Can't attribute a percentage to it.

OK, thanks Urs
