Brian Lawler Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) No mention on UJAM site yet, but AudioDeluxe has a page (but not available for purchase as of this writing). $79 Reg $59 Intro $39 if you own another Usynth product. Likely a couple "DeluxeBucks" as well. Video link at listing. https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/ujam-usynth-glam I got the release email from Ujam so it should be available now.

Reid Rosefelt Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 ujam wanted to bring GLAM out today (4/26), but postponed the release due to finding late-breaking bugs. They are working on it and should have a new timeline soon. If I find out, I'll post it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioschmaudio Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Is there anyone who likes Usynth? I just can't get warm with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I am a steady UJAM user. The one product line I’m not as keen on is the Usynth line. It’s a different approach to getting synth sounds and I’m lukewarm on the approach. But that said in each of my recent songs I’ve been using it with sound results I really like that do add a lot of catchiness to the song sound. I can complain, but I’m glad I have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'm definitely a ujam fan. I particularly like the Beatmakers, Drums, and the Pianos. I like the Mellow Bass and have had a lot of fun with the guitars. The guitars and basses work well with the NI Session Guitarist Series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioschmaudio Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Don't get me wrong, I love Ujam too. I have Beatmaker Vice, Virtual Guitarist Sparkle 1 and Iron 1, Virtual Bassist Rowdy 2, Virtual Drummer Phat 2. I love all of them. But Usynth? I just don't dig it.

abacab Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) I am a UJAM fan! I have all of their VB basses, a few of their VD drums and VG guitars, and a couple Beatmakers... And one Usynth (Drive). I just don't get the Usynth? It could have potential if they had included a real step sequencer/arpeggiator, but instead only included a relatively small custom set of sequences that you can tweak a little without any visual feedback regarding the steps and lengths, etc. Whazzup with that? I'm just guessing that this product was designed to "keep it simple"... well it is that! Edited April 27, 2023 by abacab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the key- Make it as accessible and simple as possible. I like the sounds, but (I have all the synths) there is very much a "keep stepping through the presets" search required because of this approach. The unified Plug-in for all the synths is nice, and at least does make it easy to jump among patches from different Usynth "products". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) This is like Toontrack . You fork out money aimed at genres. You can buy presets for Spire, Sylenth, Serum, Arturia, and not even dent the price of this. Edited April 29, 2023 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Is it just me, or is Usynth always tied to the UJAM app? I have the Usynth "Drive". What I have been seeing here is that the UJAM app starts up every time I insert an instance of Usynth in a project. And I cannot fully close the UJAM task until I delete the running instance of Usynth. This is strange, and it has happened with every DAW that I have tried it with, not just Cakewalk. Sometimes a DAW's plugin scanner triggers the UJAM app to launch in the background if it scans Usynth. My other UJAM instruments do not do this.

I remember reading some blather from them about "keeping your synths up to date", but I do not understand why it remains resident after you exit your DAW. It is easy enough to kill it in the Windows System Tray, but I am always suspicious of stuff like this that wants to keep running when you are not using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right! You can kill it, but only if the plugin is NOT running. If you exit the DAW and/or plugin, UJAM continues to run in the background. If you try to close the UJAM task while the plugin is active, UJAM politely asks you to close the plugin first. WTF?
