u-he Repro 5

There have been many attempts at creating that early wood clad Poly sound.

After a years of owning one of the originals and trying many of the emulations after I sold it, nothing really did give the same sound.

There is just something very refined, almost basic but with texture to be found in the originals that until now I just have not been able to hear! The u-he Repro 5 is quite mind blowing in its depth of sound. It has life and quirks in its sound that make the software sound like an instrument. Under the hood you can control how real or how sterile you want it to run. Quite processor hungry on some patches... but thats what it takes to create close to perfect imperfection I would say :D

The clip is a mix of both presets (some of these are very impressive and useable) and a few things that I came across as I was discovering new sounds. Some slight reverb has been added because reverb! Compressor was used to keep levels *mostly* under check :D

I hope you enjoy!

I think this is the first time that I can say, with confidence, that you can use software in place of the hardware and hear almost no difference. Repro is a virtual analog milestone.

Uhe just does phenomenal work. My favorite plugs by far., The pro one is also a monster. Even their free stuff is good.

'Bamboo Synth' sounds lovely. 'Like Faith' is a patch that, in the right hands, could make a man break down.

Wow amazing sounds!  1:10-1:12 totally reminded me of Vangelis.   Love to hear full tracks from this!

The max this gorgeous synth has hit my new MacBook Pro late 2016 i7 15 inch quad core on HD and 8 core support is 45percent. Really comfortable to play\ two instances with\alot of arps too. So for me my best synth so far along with serum, hive, biotek2, diva, and arp oddetity....sensational synths. Absynth too.

That sounds so legit. I tried the Arturia one several years ago and it was hilarious. This has quenched my real P5 GAS, which was significant.

RETRO is AMAZING - composed a track with DIVA and RETRO only. This is a real thing = thank you u-he.

Do you need a midi keyboard for this? Or can you just use midi within your daw??

I bought this mostly for Repro-1 that it comes bundled with. If I want to use Repro-5, I constantly have to resort to bouncing the track as my computer can't handle the CPU requirements. Man I wish they could do something about those CPU requirements.
