Ultra.Audio Ultra v1.1.4 for MacOS

About Ultra.Audio Ultra

ltra comes from an unusual place for a synth. Nigel Stanford built it, a film composer and musician out of Wellington, New Zealand, better known for Cymatics and Automatica, YouTube videos that have racked up 87 million views turning sound into visual art. That background shows up directly in the plugin: Ultra runs on UltraWave, a synthesis technique Stanford spent 7 years developing, built around extracting real pitch and amplitude data from audio and turning it into playable wavetables.

It’s aimed at sound designers who want something beyond static wavetable playback. You can load different content into the left and right channels for genuine stereo width, define separate wavetables across pitch and velocity zones that morph in real time, and import audio files to extract cycles and audition them as you build a patch. It’s less about scrolling presets and more about shaping raw material into something new.

The engine itself gives you 4 switchable oscillator types (UltraWave, Analog, Super Osc, and Sampler), paired with dual filters that can run as Resonator, Comb, Formant, Ladder, or MS-20 style, plus a per-voice EQ. 3 effects busses cover 8 categories of built-in effects, and a flexible routing system lets you send oscillators to filters, effects, or straight to output. The stereo modulation system can invert or offset per channel, and the visual mod matrix lets you view and edit modulation by source or target directly.

Version 1.1.4 continues Ultra’s steady release cadence since launching in January 2026. It’s available as VST3, AU, and standalone for both macOS and Windows, and it comes with an online sound library and a growing catalog of artist-made patches, so there’s a real starting point even before you touch the wavetable tools yourself.
