A first time sponsor, u-he provided a number of their cutting-edge plugins to happy winners of the Student Recording Competition. The Student Delegate Assembly is very grateful and happy to work with such amazing companies.
Berlin-based audio software company u-he was founded in 2001 by Urs Heckmann. Originally a one-man show, the company recently evolved into a tightly-knit team of employees, active associates and 3rd-party contractors – with ambitious plans.
Especially well known for the Zebra2 and Diva software synthesizers, u-he has developed several other successful products over the last decade, and regularly contributes freeware to popular magazines (available as download or on cover discs).
Despite their underlying complexity, u-he synths and effects are widely acclaimed for their ease of use. This is often attributed to Urs Heckmann's background as industrial designer. Heckmann sees the seemingly unconventional decision to start an audio software company as a direct result of his equal love for industrial design and for synthesizers.
Most recently, u-he has been exploring concepts for analogue synthesizers, and the first results can be heard in the software synths ACE / Bazille (audio-rate modulation paths) as well as Diva, Presswerk and Satin (accurate simulation of electronic circuitry).
Hive is u-he's first foray into the world of low CPU dance-oriented synths, which is going to be released on June 2nd and can be pre-ordered at 33% off. Interested? Head over to KVR Audio for all the details.
For more information and sound examples visit u-he on Youtube, Soundcloud & Facebook, and u-he.com.
