UVI released Rumble on June 10, 2026, and pitched it as the first bass synthesizer built from the ground up around a multiband architecture. Instead of one signal path, Rumble splits the sound into three frequency engines you shape independently.
What's new in UVI Rumble?
Rumble's core idea is per-band synthesis. The instrument is divided into three engines, each tuned for a different part of the low end:
- Body — the sub and low end, where the weight of a bass patch lives.
- Character — the mids and harmonics that give a bass its tone and bite.
- Air — the top-end articulation, transients, and presence.
Each band has its own oscillator, a wave-shaper that can inject cross-band amplitude modulation, and an effect slot. The three bands then merge through a shared filter and master section. That structure lets you keep a clean, controlled sub while distorting only the mids, or add air without muddying the bottom.
Under the hood, UVI lists 9 oscillator models (virtual analog, wavetable, phase distortion, FM, and dedicated drum and vocal generators), 6 filter circuits, and 10 effect chains. Modulation is deep: 33 sources including 16 macros, 4 LFOs, two 128-point MSEG envelopes, three chaotic random generators, and a full mod matrix. Rumble ships with 500 factory presets.
Is UVI Rumble worth it?
The multiband layout is the real differentiator. Most bass patches in a regular synth force you to fight the same filter and saturation across the whole spectrum. Splitting Body, Character, and Air means you can sound-design each region on its own terms, which is how many engineers already treat bass at the mix stage.
If you mostly need a quick analog sub, a free synth will cover you. Rumble earns its place when you want detailed, mix-ready bass with controllable distortion and movement. Producers working in genres where the low end carries the track — drum and bass, dubstep, trap, techno — are the obvious fit.
How much does UVI Rumble cost?
Rumble launched at an intro price of $99 / €99 through June 28, 2026, with a regular price of $199 / €199. It runs as VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone, supports NKS, and uses iLok authorization across up to three machines.
