In 2002, when Apple introduced Audio Units (AU), Urs realised that nobody was offering a decent GUI construction kit for plug-ins. While others discussed the general AU feature set, he created a quick and easy GUI toolkit called CAUGui.

CAUGui allowed Urs to create the first AU with a fancy custom user interface—Rumblence:pure. An incredibly buggy distortion plug-in. He subsequently developed Zoyd, one of the first ever AU synths. Zoyd never really left the beta stage, but apparently some people still use it now and again.

Please be aware the Linux versions of our plug-ins are still considered beta. While the plug-ins are stable, we are not able to provide the same level of support for these products as we do for the macOS and Windows versions. Support is provided via the Linux and u-he communities on our forum.
