up to 40% less CPU
Good news! Here's the Diva update you have been waiting for. We locked ourselves away in our lab and squeezed as many CPU cycles out of Diva as humanly possible, all for the sake of one thing: Performance!
Diva 1.1 is now ready for download on her brand new product page. As always with u-he products, the update is free. Simply download the appropriate installer, follow the instructions and you're good to go.
Note: We have also made subtle changes to the basic sound quality, improving the transient behaviour and adding some "sheen". Although these changes will certainly be recognized as improvements, we recommend that you render your existing projects before upgrading.

Brilliant new MFM2 tutorial (by Dan Worrall)

We've been silent for a while, but far from idle! Urs and Clemens are still working feverishly on our NEW SYNTH. If all goes well, there'll be a major announcement soon.
Ensconced in uhe's southern outpost near Frankfurt, I have been making some more Zebra2 and ACE tutorials. Improve your programming skills in bite-sized, easy-to-swallow chunks: go to the uheplugins
YouTube channel
The ACE User Guide has been updated, with internal references, all recent features etc.. Navigable and detailed, more like the new Zebra2, MFM2 and Uhbik manuals. Documentation is FUN (so there!)

The Newsletter

What if you didn't get the newsletter?
So we did the whole "forensic thing" and went through almost 10 years of customer data in order to match email addresses, follow up license transfers and check for newsletter subscriptions. A little over 50% of u-he customers opted for product information when they bought something. A few hundred mails bounced, of course!
New Website

So here's the new website for u-he...
The old website was nice and all, but it was also very old and hard to maintain. It was mostly hand-coded, which bloats once you've got more than two product pages to care for. Product pages were spread across several domains. Slowly there would be a lack of corporate identity. Embracing the new u-he logo was a painful act with the old page, so it never happened.
Now we have a real content management system, we have a consolidated website with all products and services in one single spot. Each product has its own page, with condensed information, better presentation, fresh media content and everything.
Also, we're taking the interactive path with our customer support tool, newsletter via MailChimp, social network services like Twitter and Facebook – hopefully improved service in general...
I think it's gonna be good.

After several years working from home, there was simply no way to expand anywhere. I wanted to have enough space to get someone else in, and I desperately needed a soundproof room. Since this analogue modeling thing became serious, I also started to collect vintage gear.
Towards the end of 2010, everything fell into place:
Berlin Modular

About four years ago I started to work on a new synthesizer. The idea was to build a virtual modular system much like the first modular system I ever used in 1986 – an old and hilariously out of tune Roland System 100M. I totally loved that thing. It stood in a room in my grammar school, and I spent hours and hours patching it up.
