Legendary FM Workstation Reimagined
Inspired by one of the most influential digital workstations of the 1970s, The Beast brings the unmistakable character of a legendary FM instrument into a modern software environment.
Originally embraced by artists such as Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Sting, Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder and Depeche Mode, this groundbreaking machine helped shape the sound of countless productions across electronic music, pop, funk, film scoring and experimental sound design.
UVI's The Beast is a comprehensive software suite featuring three complementary instruments. Combining meticulous sampling, advanced programming, true FM synthesis and modern sound design tools, it captures the vintage digital character of the original while offering the flexibility today’s producers and composers expect.

Three Instruments. One Legendary Sound.
-
Beast Terminal – An FM and additive synthesis powerhouse that combines deep multi-sampling with an integrated true FM synthesis engine. From subtle tonal variations to extreme transformations, it offers a flexible approach to recreating and expanding classic FM textures.
-
Beast Keys – A broad collection of keyboard, piano, electric piano, organ, clavinet and mallet sounds. With careful attention to historical detail, its presets range from expressive acoustic tones to classic digital keyboard timbres.

Beast Box – A massive FM-inspired drum machine combining synthesized percussion with deeply sampled drum hits and percussion recordings. Featuring more than 1,200 sounds, it covers everything from vintage electronic drums to powerful modern rhythms.
From lush strings and bright brass to expressive keys, digital textures, vintage percussion and bold hybrid sounds, The Beast delivers a rich sonic palette full of character, depth and inspiration.
Recapture the past and let The Beast inspire the sounds of your future.
