Both include the Analog Classics Plus bundle with 13 plug-ins, although OCTO owners get additional plug-ins during product registration. UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt starts at USD 800 for the QUAD version and USD 1200 for the OCTO verson. However, I have my reservations whether this is worth the asking price. It frees up CPU for lower buffer sizes and more virtual instruments, very appreciated in a busy session. Some argue DSP boxes have become expensive dongles following the exponential increases in CPU processing power and algorithm refinements, but there’s still merit in offloading a bunch of resource-hungry plug-ins to your interface and/or accelerator. It can also be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards and Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo interfaces, including Apollo Twin, DUO, QUAD, and 16 for truly scalable mixing power. UAD gets a lot of flack for selling “outdated technology”, but seeing that all its plug-ins are coded specifically for these chips, migrating the whole library onto newer, faster DSPs would be a major hassle for the company and users deep into its ecosystem. UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt is available in QUAD or OCTO models with either four or eight SHARC processors, respectively. The accelerator is sold in QUAD and OCTO configurations with four and eight SHARC processors, respectively. The new Satellite also has a second Thunderbolt 3 port for daisy-chaining devices something. UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt is available in QUAD or OCTO models with either four or eight SHARC processors, respectively. That means you no longer need that pesky adaptor to run one on a Thunderbolt 3 machines such as Apple’s laptops. UAD-2 Satellite USB DSP promo image from UA Outdated? Available in QUAD or OCTO Core formats, Universal Audio’s UAD-2 Satellite DSP accelerator now features Thunderbolt 3 connectivity.
