UJAM Announces Vox Humana Plugin to Benefit Bob Moog Foundation

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"We are excited to share that our friends at UJAM, creators of countless plugins and sample libraries, released a Vox Humana plugin today to benefit the Bob Moog Foundation!

Vox Humana is a standalone virtual instrument that faithfully recreates the Polymoog's legendary Vox Humana setting, which is regarded as one of the most recognizable and coveted synthesizer sounds, most notable for being prominently featured in Gary Numan's iconic 'Cars'.

The plugin is built on the sampled sounds of the Polymoog 280A, meticulously captured by composer, producer, and lauded YouTube synth educator Alex Ball. With these recordings as the basis, the Bob Moog Foundation partnered with UJAM to transform them into a fully realized virtual instrument. Utilizing UJAM's proprietary Gorilla Engine, a platform widely used by top plugin manufacturers, the team designed an interface that is both intuitive and faithful to the instrument's original character.

The Vox Humana plugin features include:
Authentic Recreation — Sampled directly from a vintage Polymoog 280A to preserve the signature Vox Humana sound

Four Timbral Modes – Original, Bright, Hollow, and Octaves

10 Factory Presets – Ready-to-use sounds with the option to save custom user presets

Envelope Control – Attack and Decay sliders for precise dynamic shaping

Built-in Effects – Integrated Chorus, Phaser, and Delay for added depth and movement

Standalone Plugin – No additional software required, available as a VST3, AU and AAX plugin

The plugin retails for $19/22€, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Bob Moog Foundation's important work in education, archive preservation, and the operation of the Moogseum, located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

UJAM and its distribution partners are waiving all fees to ensure that every dollar directly benefits the foundation's mission.

Sapphire "Beyond the Void" - wide stereo field, deep space drone

video upload by Don Cross

"Making this patch, I imagined traversing immense distances between galaxies through the voids in deep space. I used multiple Sapphire Elastika modules tuned to produce an ever-shifting drone chorus. Then I added a few extra voices to round out the bass. There is plenty of slow-flowing chaotic modulation for interesting variation and texture.

Time-Saving Methods of Rescuing IR3109N OTAs from 80017A Wafers

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

Today I am sharing spilling the beans on my 80017A wafer-stripping and chip reclamation methods. Over time I have developed my own system for improving the speed and success of reclaiming coveted IR3109N SMD OTAs in decent quantities. These OTAs are used in my 101-VCF, JP6-VCF, and JU60-VCF eurorack modules. Even with time-saving measures, I easily spend way more time reclaiming the chips than actually building these modules. And the main reason I call my endeavors a labor of love, it's all for you my friend.
