UVX80
‘80s Japanese Maiden Revived
• Inspired by a rare Japanese 8-voice analog synth
• Over 250 patches of vintage analog warmth with modern controls
• Production-ready presets make great starting points for your own
creations
INSPIRATION
UVX80 is based on a well known Japanese manufacturer’s first analog polyphonic
synth, a digitally-controlled 2+1 oscillator, 8-voice, 61-key instrument launched in
1984 with a gorgeous and futuristic-looking visual stance. Technically comparable
to the JX-3P, this synth boasted a more robust architecture with 2 extra voices, a
sub-oscillator and real pulse-width modulation. Despite its technical advantages
and profound sonic capability it would find a similar fate, never managing great
commercial success but attracting a cult following that’s present even today. While
not as difficult to edit as the 3P, this synth shared the lack of explicit controls found
on the wildly popular but more basic Juno-106 that launched the same year. A truly
progressive design for the time, you’d never know it was analog by looking at it, but
there’s no mistaking the warm and punchy sound this keyboard produces - it’s a
legitimate analog beast, and somewhat of a sleeper gem from the era.
Due to the limited production of the original machines very few are left today, with
even fewer in working condition. Our UVI Japan office was able to secure a pristine
model, making sure it was calibrated to factory specs before passing to our sound
design team. Once here in Paris, we pushed it to its limits, designing tones from
classic to modern and letting the unique character of this synth shine. Recordings
we made using the highest-quality processors and converters available, resulting
in a fantastically rich and vivid library to serve as the basis for UVX80. Once loaded
into the UVI Engine our sound designers further polished these patches creating
the hybrid instrument we proudly present to you today. Now you can explore
the distinct and powerful analog sound of this vintage ‘80s synth with all the
conveniences and flexibility of a modern studio instrument.
INSTRUMENT
UVX80 delivers on the original synth and adds a modern refinement, expertly
presenting its distinct timbres and ample sound design capabilities from warm
basses, shredding leads, atmospheric textures and other-worldly sound effects
to crisp bells and charactered strings. Easily browse the preset sounds by type,
layer them to create rich evolving textures, or dive in and edit them to create
your own sounds.
Inspired by the original hardware, UVX80’s UI reflects an ‘80s futurism aesthetic
while providing a clear and easy-to-program instrument with familiar controls. A
2-layer architecture provides 28 sounds for oscillator 1 and 111 sounds on oscillator
2, each with it’s own multimode filter, ADSR envelopes, pitch, portamento, stereo
section, arpeggiator and modwheel assignments. A versatile LFO and 16-step
modulator provide quick control over the amplitude and filter and a final effect
section tops it off with high-quality drive, chorus, phaser, delay and reverb.

UVX80 delivers a versatile and electrifying ‘80s analog sound, exploring the
fascinating and profound beginnings of a Japanese powerhouse brand.
