Curated Instrument Selection

Quadra provides 4 robust instrument layers that can be used together to create striking and evocative performances. Assign each from a selection of 251 multi-sampled sources, including Tubular Bells, Thai and Balinese Gongs, electric pianos and keyboards like the Rhodes, Celesta, Claviset, Dulcitone, Glockenspiel, Mini Celesta, Papageno Bells, Pianet and Sanza Keys, mallet instruments such as the Vibraphone, Marimba and Large Xylophone, musical toy instruments including Music Box, Toy Glockenspiel and Wood Xylophone, synthesizers including Modular, FM, and PCM-based, wood instruments like the Balafon, Resonant Tubes and Blocks, and metal instruments like the Congolese Sanza, Handpan, Mbira, Steel Drum, and more, all chosen to complement each other in timbre and playing style.

Powerful, Expressive Control

Quadra is a creative workspace where you're free to layer sounds to create complex and evolving tones and sequences, or assign them to discrete keyzones and perform them discretely. Play sounds directly or augment them in realtime with arpeggiators, phrase sequencers and effects to create rhythmic and melodic motifs. Morph between sounds with a mappable XY pad to create movement and narrative, and automate the overall intensity of your soundscape with global dynamics and transient emphasis controls.

4x the Fun

UVI Quadra - Metal and Wood | GUIS
Each layer in Quadra is a fully-kitted instrument, complete with full ADSR amp and multimode envelope control, unison, powerful 64-step arpeggiator/phrase sequencers, MIDI effects such as Euclidean Emphasis and Pitch Drift, realtime scale quantization, audio effects including a frequency shifter, waveshaper, chorus, phaser, and 3-band EQ, reverb and delay sends, and pre-mapped effects like vibrato, tremolo, a second frequency shifter, and overdrive, that you can perform instantly with the modwheel on your controller keyboard.

Supercharged Sequences with Advanced MIDI Effects

UVI Quadra - Metal and Wood | GUIS
At the heart of each of Quadra's instrument layers is a powerful, multimode 64-step sequencer with MIDI effects, allowing you to quickly add rhythmic grooves, create arpeggiator sequences, add harmonies, and even quantize the incoming notes to specific scales. Choose a global rate, gate length, and max velocity, then customize your sequence with per-step velocity, link, harmonization, pitch offset, octave offset, gate, step repeat and panning. Save your patterns to disk as presets to share, or use the handy "copy-to" button to quickly duplicate your finished sequence from one layer to another.
Quadra includes a number of MIDI effect modules that allow you to embellish and augment your sequences in creative ways, including Euclidean Emphasis which adds rhythmic accents, MIDI Delay, Random, and Pitch Drift which enrich your sequence, and a scale quantizer that allows you to snap all notes to a scale of your choosing. You can even drag-and-drop the modified sequences as MIDI into a track of your DAW.

"Quadra is quite wondrous in the amount of variations it provides. It’s a wonderfully complex producer of rhythmic variety. And the timbres, chosen from UVI’s extensive library of samples are ravishing in their beauty. It’s really one of the most useful music construction kits I’ve seen in quite a while."
