Solidos Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) HX-20 Iconic Semi-Modular Analog Synth Unique hardware-based wavetable + sample oscillators Each oscillator section driven through physically-modeled filters Powerful, modern reimagining of an iconic vintage classic An Analog Icon HX-20 is based on one of the most recognizable and well-loved analog monosynths around, known for its versatile semi-modular architecture, iconic front panel design, and starred musical history. Launched in the late '70s, this small two-oscillator monosynth has a lot to offer, and continues to be an inspirational studio compadre for artists around the world.

Vernon Barnes Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Installed. (I have the Sonic Pass sub) . Its an interesting architecture with two oscillators with a conventional choice of waveforms and a sample layer with a good choice of samples. The Oscillators and the sample have separate filters both HP and LP with individual resonance. Its very programable and way beyond rompler territory and I was very quickly creating sounds far from the initial patch. First impressions are its probably one of the most versatile of UVI synth libraries. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool i need your precisions : Wavetable , are they original wave form in wave table format or just fancy custom ones (or both) ? Cpu hit : ? (give us if ya can a reference with another well used plugin) Thks ! Edited December 7, 2023 by Zo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intro Price: 49€ 79€ https://www.uvi.net/hx-20 Taking the time to say that i really dig Venus's videos ....for UVI ... never boring and straight , less detailed than some others but enougth to get crucial infos ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 If they included the waves from the DW8000 and the DWGS from MS2000 this could be considered a "good enough" emulation of these synths IMO, except maybe for the filter that is different on the MS20.

If they provode a good MS 20 filter (maybe two versions) this could be something solid imho and enougth !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... I'm not implying that it wouldn't Zo. It's just that every other MS-20 VST version has emulated analog oscs or is entirely sample based. This being a hybrid and "korg flavored" virtual synth not including the waves I mentioned is kind of a wasted opportunity (as I said... IMO). Edith: and I don't even know if the waves are included or not. I haven't looked with more attention to this yet. Mainly because I'm more interested in the new Moog VST right now.

Cpu hit : ? (give us if ya can a reference with another well used plugin) Thks ! CPU is not something I usually monitor as I seldom have problems. CPU hits shows as around 6% in the according to UVI Workstation's display, but in windows task manager +/- 0.5% I suspect the CPU meter in Workstation refers to one core. in contrast GForce's SEM is +/- 0.3% and Arturia's Pigments from 1.5 to 2.0% CPU hit in Falcon is a little higher but remains below 1% in task manager All the samples are in a monolithic *.UFS file. While some have recognisable names like "Harpischord" they are not realistic but do provide useful sound sources. In factory presets they are often layered with the conventional oscillator. EDIT - I should add these figures refer to the standalone versions. Edited December 7, 2023 by Vernon Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to give us cpu hit in daw , in task manager it doesn't means a lot since , in your daw , if only one core is loaded , you get droppoed or crackles starying to appears , even if you 30 % overwall in task manager , hence the pressure we put to dev , to code optimise for Multi core use (thk you UHE !! , UVI , MOOG are you listeneing , Roland ? lol ) Edited December 7, 2023 by Zo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four instances of HX-20 in UVI workstation do cause an overload. If I load four instances of Workstation, each with one instance of HX-20 CPU load stays at around +/- 25% Where Workstation's own CPU meter showed 5% in standalone in the DAW it shows +/- 25% when running in the DAW with one instance of HX-20.

Zo Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Yep you need to play actually or it goes idel (if vst 3) Some synths don't allow sleep if audio is not generated they anyway keep max loads on cpu , last moog is like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
