01Overview

Hybrid 6000 is based on a multitimbral 8-voice analog synthesizer from 1987, the HT-6000. UVI multi-sampled patches designed on that hardware, recording each sample both normally and with the chorus engaged. The instrument covers styles such as synthwave, new wave, electro, house, industrial and 1980s synthpop. It can be used as a full multi-layer instrument or as individual standalone parts for focused sound design.

03In depth

Sound Character and Layered Architecture

The source hardware used four DCOs with shared waveforms, each with its own tuning, velocity curve and amp envelope settings. According to UVI, this allows complex, moving timbres reminiscent of more expensive analog synths of that period.

Hybrid 6000 has six layers: eight tracks covering drums, bass, melody and three general-purpose synth parts. Each non-drum layer has its own amp envelope, multimode filter with envelope, drive, phasor and EQ effects, send effects including reverb and delay, and an arpeggiator/phraser.

Drum Sounds, Presets and Workflow

Drum layers draw on vintage sounds from hardware including the HT6K Original, DRP One, Mini Acoustic and Rap Toy, plus modern sounds made in the built-in Drum Designer. A collection of preset patterns is included, and patterns can be moved to a DAW with MIDI drag-and-drop or sequenced manually.

The instrument ships with 250+ factory patches made by UVI's in-house sound design team. Each standalone instrument matches its multi counterpart in parameters, effects, sends, arpeggiators and presets, so single parts can be used on their own.
