Got an email for an announcement on 1/27
“60 years of Analog Tone”
Makes me think it’s a control surface.

I’ve been out of the UAD universe for a few years, but am now once again a prospective customer. Does anyone think we can reasonably expect an Apollo update in this announcement, or is the X series still new enough that it’s relatively safe to expect the announcement is not about UAD-3 or an updated audio interface?

Long thread at UA forum, money’s on a pedal board. That's a bummer if true. I can see why some would want that, but there are so many other things I would love to see from UA that would be way more exciting, IMO.

Yes, including dsp, links and controls ox, may be called emperor?
Someone pulled some software code with the name in it and some trademark info I think , bunch of screenshots posted there .

No mention of any software updates, best to be patient, think they announce on 27th?

Ahh that's right, I forget about the Ox. I do as well. Mine's back in the box. I'm saving it in case my sons get into the jams later on and need something to learn on.

Surely, there’s no way it’s a pedalboard. That would totally be a weird direction.

It’s got to be a control surface to lure people into the ecosystem with Luna.

It’s got to be a control surface to lure people into the ecosystem with Luna. That would be my guess as well. A control surface or smartphone/tablet remote control app seems like the next logical step. Or maybe news about the Bock buyout?

Bock buyout?
Bock as in David Bock? Microphones?!
When did that happen?

But honestly, I’m not in the market for a control surface...sometimes I find they just get in the way and take me longer than it would just using a mouse. But maybe I haven’t had the right one.

I've never used one. Probably just a case of 'grass is always greener' for me.

As for a Luna controller, on the UAD forum, Drew also said, “Not sure it makes sense to make a controller for an app that's not done yet. Just sayin.”
Just an observation I thought was relevant to the current discussion here.
Regardless, always fun to speculate. I was ready to pull the trigger on an Apollo X, but am now contemplating waiting a couple of more weeks for the big reveal...

A guitar pedal makes a lot of sense to me...something like a pedal board sized Kemper where you can load amps and effects to use live.
