01Overview

Usynth BOUNCE is built around the digital, sampler-era sound that defined early 2000s club and RnB records. The developer says its sounds are modeled on the limitations of that period, including aliasing, limited memory and low sample rates. The plugin offers 100 synth patches across leads and plucks, basses, pianos and keys, world instruments, strings and brass, pads and atmospheres, and drums and hits. Each patch can be shaped with two global smart knobs and three patch-specific smart knobs.

Sound Character and Synthesis Inspiration

UJAM draws on iconic digital workstations such as the Korg Triton and Roland JV-1080 as reference points for the instrument's character. The developer describes the sounds as based on early samples of real instruments, with the imperfections of that technology kept on purpose.

The patch library is organized by sound type, so you can move from a bass to a lead or a pad quickly. Because the patches are designed to be played as they are, the plugin suits producers who want a finished starting point that already carries a specific era's texture.

Sequencer, Effects and Workflow

Usynth BOUNCE includes a built-in sequencer and arpeggiator that can generate arpeggios, basslines or chord sequences. Multi effects, delay and reverb are included, with more than 100 effect settings to choose from.

The smart knobs keep editing simple. Two global controls affect the whole instrument, and three patch-specific controls shape each sound. Global presets let you save and recall combinations of settings across patches.
