Description

Rewind to 1975 ... Using electronics developed for NASA, this revolutionary instrument was unprecedented for its time. Starting off its life as a gorgeous FM synth, it evolved into a comprehensive workstation through subsequent expansions. Its emergence into the professional studio inspired many of the leading avant-garde artists and sonic visionaries to embrace its potential, including Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Sting, Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder, and Depeche Mode, among others.  

... Fast Forward to Today Once again inspired by the sounds of yesteryear, we at UVI have set out to construct our own 'beast'. The result is a comprehensive software suite comprised of 3 complementary digital instruments - each fully equipped with a vast array of both cutting edge original sounds and classic presets. We've employed our trusted combination of advanced programming and meticulous sampling, using the best analog and digital gear, to bring the beloved vintage character of this workstation to a new generation of musicians and sound explorers. The result is an entirely new, comprehensive and intuitive luxury instrument which we are proud to present to you - The Beast.  

Beast FMII An FM and additive synthesis monster. As a result of our combination of deep multi-sampling and integrated true FM synthesis module, this instrument offers a unique approach to reproducing these vintage sounds, allowing for subtle to extreme variation.  

Beast Terminal With careful attention to historical details, the presets and sonic character of Beast Terminal traverse a wide territory. Ranging from acoustic to electric, they encompass the full sonic spectrum: from lush strings to strikingly bright brass timbres and beyond.  

Beast Box Combining the best FM-synthesized percussion sounds with recordings of the deepest drum hits and percussion samples, Beast Box is a massive drum machine with an extensive library of over 1,200 sounds.    

  • Size : 4.25 GB library
  • Collection : Vintage Synth and Sampler
  • Content : 3 instruments, 297 presets, 8,313 samples

    UVI is the mark of the BEAST

    I love this plugin. It has sp many sounds and its a great drum machine. There are many things to tweak, and turn so you get really unique sounds. Love using it in my creative workflow. UVI does it again.

    Budget friendly NED? Yes, please!

    Used to drop by the NED booth year after year to marvel at what they were building.

    Six figure systems, so all I could do was dream.

    Dreaming no more!!!

    Nice to have

    A nice addition for the vintage synth variety. The sounds will not blew you away, but they fill some gaps here and there.
