Moog and UJAM have teamed up on a cheap and cheerful plugin based on a preset used on Gary Numan’s famous track, Cars.

The plugin, called Vox Humana, keeps the same name as the original preset, originally from the Polymoog 280A synth. Priced at just $19, all proceeds will be going to the Bob Moog Foundation, supporting its efforts in education, preservation, and the Moogseum.

The original Polymoog has been “meticulously recorded” by synth expert Alex Ball for the plugin, which is described as offering “a lush, vocal-like tone with rich movement and warmth, defining late ‘70s synth sounds”.

Designed using UJAM’s Gorilla Engine, Vox Humana delivers “the authentic warmth of the original while offering modern features”, including envelopes, effects, and multiple timbral modes.

Through a range of controls, users can now alter the iconic Vox Huamana sound, and play around with four different versions of it: Original, Bright, Octaves, and Hollow. There are also Reverb, Phaser and Chorus effects on board, plus Attack and Decay can also be adjusted.

“At UJAM, we owe much of our inspiration to industry pioneers like Bob Moog,” comments UJAM co-founder, Peter Gorges (via DJ Mag). “His contributions to music technology have shaped my career and so many others. Supporting the Bob Moog Foundation through the Vox Humana plugin is an honour, and by waiving all fees, we’re ensuring that every dollar goes directly to advancing its mission and preserving Bob’s legacy for future generations.”

In other Moog news, it was recently announced that after five years, the Moog Subsequent 25 has run its course. Initially unveiled at NAMM 2020 as an affordable take on the Subsequent 37, the Subsequent 25 will now no longer be in production. Production of the Subsequent 37 will continue as normal, however.
