Is U-He working on a virtual modular system?
Urs Heckmann, the person behind software company U-He, has recently got a modular system together. He’s published a number of videos on his YouTube site showing off his expertise with Eurorack hardware synthesis. Could he be working on a software version of this sort of synthesis?
U-He Virtual modular?
With recent releases such as the REPRO-1 Urs passion for analogue synthesis shines through. The detail that U-He goes to in order to produce authentic sound is largely unparalleled in the industry. To turn their attention to a more modular way of doing things rather than traditional synths is not too much of a stretch. Clearly, Urs is loving the creative and spontaneous nature of the modular.
His system is modest but creative, built into a Vermona Case with 2 rows of 104HP and a 1U row in the middle. He has the following modules: XAOC Devices Tirana II (2x), Batumi and Kamieniec, Make Noise Maths and Optomix, Mutable Instruments Rings, Clouds, Peaks and Kinks, 4 MS Dual Looping Delay, and some Erica Synths Black digital switches. On some videos, he also includes the Circadian Rhythm and a handful of other modules.
Of course, he may just be having fun, enjoying the simple pleasures of playing with Eurorack. But maybe this is inspiration for a new software instrument. We can but hope.
Here’s his YouTube channel.
And here’s an example of his wiggling to enjoy.

This would be awesome but still hoping and waiting for Zebra 3 to be finished and released!
