Valhalla Ubermod Vst

 

My review was first published on The Home Recording Show episode 161 with guest Sean Costello (ValhallaDSP). The discussion after the segment is equally geeky and entertaining.

Valhalla UberMod is a unique multitap delay and modulation plugin. The various algorithms allow from 2 to 32 modulated delay taps. Ubermod can be used to create lush choruses, tape and bucket brigade style echoes, reverbs and many strange other effects. Ubermod costs $50 and is available for OSX and Windows, VST, RTAS and AudioUnit; 64-bit ready.

After my gushing review of ValhallaRoom on The Home Recording Show # 147, I got in contact with the creator Sean Costello and dove head first into UberMod. I’ve been trying out Valhalla UberMod for over a month now, and it is surprisingly hard to get my thoughts on it written down.

Tools to help you. We make digital reverb and analog-inspired delay plugins for musicians, engineers and other audio artists. We're obsessed with creating powerful tools with simple interfaces. Our goal is to inspire you and help your work to flow. This review barely touches the edges of you skill with UberMod, and that i heavily recommend checking the Valhalla website, but from the moment I’ve needed to alter it, it’s obvious that this can be a very versatile, great sounding wordpress plugin, and not just that, it’s low as chips!

UberMod looks simple but its really a very deep plugin. I spent a few evenings just getting used to how it works and trying things out. Sims 4 cc realistic. I eventually gave up trying to control it completely and just let it do it’s weird and wonderful things.

There are 9 modes in the current version (1.0.1) inspired by vintage hardware effects from Eventide and the Roland Dimension D and various vintage synthesizers. The algorithms in UberMod expand upon the concepts of the old hardware and take them to the extreme. What happens when you run 8 Dimension D’s in parallel? That’s the 16-tap mode.
There’s an explanation of the various modes on the KVR Audio forum and also on the Valhalla Blog.

All of the modes have their inspiration in various “vintage” boxes, but got combined and recombined as I saw fit. I’m a historian when it comes to signal processing, but I also take a postmodern approach. The past is a place to take inspiration from, but it isn’t like the audio industry reached some Platonic ideal a few decades ago. Emulating the past in precise detail doesn’t really interest me, and I’m not aiming for strict emulations with any of the ÜberMod modes. I’d rather take the good ideas, mix them up with my own good ideas, and create some crazy chimera of a plugin that leaves the realms of sanity behind.

Starting off with the presets is highly recommended with this effect, in fact sharing presets is encouraged. The preset browser has a clipboard copy and paste function. In the discussion threads at KVR Audio and Gearslutz you will find dozens of presets shared by users. Its a great way to find out what this beast can really do. Some of these shared presets are pretty insane.
Once you find a preset you like, try changing the mode or tempo sync or color mode to quickly discover several new sounds.

I’m currently using Ubermod on synths, strings, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and vocals. If you want 80’s hair metal chorus leads it can do that too, but you don’t want to do that.

The only thing UberMod doesn’t work well on is percussive sounds, it’s just not the right sort of effect. Try it with a basic synth. Insert it after a synth 50% wet and it’s just instant fatness.

Examples

Dry synth strings

Moar Examples
Now some examples from some of my recent mixing projects.
Here’s some mono acoustic guitar where I’ve used Ubermod to spread out the sound an make it more interesting. This is a chorus sound with the width at about 120% and mix around 20%.

First dry, then with ubermod, then in the mix.

On a different song I used UberMod to separate the harmony vocals a bit more from the lead, this is similar to something like Waves Doubler, it sounds a bit weird on it’s own but works in the mix.

Now just for fun, one of those cheesy chorused lead guitar solos. Do not try this at home.

I have one more set of examples. This is from a really strange sludgy metal song with some of the weirdest vocals I’ve ever heard. But they weren’t weird enough. I used an automated Ubermod in parallel with a huge reverb from ValhallaRoom.
First just the vocals with fx then the full mix.

Final Thoughts
UberMod will not replace your other delay, chorus, flanger, doubler and reverb effects, but it sounds unique enough from your other options that you’ll find yourself wanting to use it more and more. The more I use Ubermod, the more I find it essential. Ubermod is my go-to effect for fat synths, vocal doubling, and anytime I need something slightly insane. The audio geek approves and highly recommends Valhalla UberMod.

Valhalla ÜberMod is a unique mutltap delay and modulation plugin. With up to 32 modulated delay taps, extensive diffusion and overdrive sections, and parallel slow and vibrato LFOs, ÜberMod can be used to create lush dimensional choruses, classic string ensembles, tape and BBD echoes, nonlinear and reverse reverbs, and a bunch of sounds that defy categorization.

Valhalla UberMod Description

Valhalla Ubermod Vst Crack

  • True stereo signal path, for maintaining the spatial image of stereo inputs.
  • Delay times that can be synced to tempo, to create modulated delays and nonlinear reverbs at specific beat rates
  • Unique WIDTH control, that varies the spatial image from mono to stereo to “super-stereo”
  • Separate parameters for the detune and vibrato oscillators, to have high level control of up to 32 independent LFOs
  • OverMod control, to turn up modulation depth beyond the bounds of sanity
  • A high level DEPTH parameter, for quick adjustments to the overall chorus modulation amount.
  • A large number of chorus tap modes (2/4/6/8/16/32 Taps, Dual Ensemble, 16Phase) for dialing in specific chorus, ensemble, and nonlinear reverb sounds
  • Diffusion section (with adjustable amount, size, mod width and mod depth) for creating delays that smear over time, diffusion choruses, and modulated reverbs
  • Drive section (with pregain, postgain, and noise gain) for emulating tape saturation & analog delays
  • Taps menu, for adjusting the spacing, slope, left/right skew, and randomization of the output taps
  • A simple yet powerful EQ section, for rolling off the high and low frequencies, and switching between bright and dark color modes.
  • SPEED control, to double the delay time and drop the pitch of the signal within the delay buffers.
  • All parameter changes are smoothed to avoid clicks, and to generate tape echo-esque effects. The smoothing time can be adjusted to create a variety of swishing, whooshing boing sounds.
  • Resizable GUI influenced by NASA Human Interface specifications & Swiss School of graphic design. Minimalist GUI, Maximalist Sound.™
  • High level controls have dedicated sliders, while the “tweakier” controls are selected via their own panels
  • Cross platform/DAW preset mechanism, that allows presets to be easily exchanged with other ÜberMod users via text based copy and paste.
  • WARP InputPan (new in version 1.0.1) allows for reversed stereo image, mono summing of signals sent to delays, or left/right panning of the input signal. This allows for ping pong echos, as well as ping ponging delay clusters, tape echoes, reverbs, inverse reverbs, and sounds that don’t have names yet.

ValhallaUberMod is available for OSX (AU/AU64/VST/VST64/RTAS/AAX) and Windows (VST32/VST64/RTAS/AAX).
