If you’ve ever wished for that rich, airy Polymoog sound right in your DAW, your wish has been granted. UJAM, in collaboration with the Bob Moog Foundation, just launched the Vox Humana Plugin, and it doesn’t stop at being a killer synth tool — every single dollar goes straight to supporting music education and preserving Bob Moog’s legendary work.

Let’s be real, synth heads have been chasing that Vox Humana sound for decades, especially since Gary Numan dropped “Cars” and changed the game. Now, thanks to this new plugin, that iconic sound is within reach of every producer, musician, and creator — without hunting down a rare Polymoog or shelling out thousands.

So, what makes this plugin so special, and why does it matter beyond music-making? Let’s break it down.

The Vox Humana plugin is available for $19 / 22€ as a VST3, AAX and AU plugin for Mac and Windows. For more information, visit UJAM.com.

At a Glance:

  • 100% of proceeds go directly to the Bob Moog Foundation’s educational and preservation efforts.
  • Built on real Polymoog 280A samples, offering an authentic recreation of the legendary Vox Humana sound.
  • User-friendly standalone plugin with intuitive controls and built-in effects — ready to use with no extra software.

Bringing the Polymoog’s Vox Humana Back for Everyone

The Vox Humana Plugin isn’t just another synth emulation — it’s a faithful recreation built from the ground up using real recordings of a vintage Polymoog 280A. These samples were captured by composer and producer Alex Ball, who’s known for his deep synth knowledge. Working closely with UJAM, the Bob Moog Foundation took those samples and transformed them into a powerful plugin that anyone can use, no matter their technical skill level.

Peter Gorges, co-founder of UJAM, summed it up perfectly: “At UJAM, we owe much of our inspiration to industry pioneers like Bob Moog. 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 honor, 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.”

A Quick Look at What You Get with the Vox Humana Plugin

This isn’t some stripped-down version. The plugin comes loaded with features that give you flexibility and creativity while holding true to the original sound. Here’s what’s inside:

  • Authentic Recreation: Direct samples from the Polymoog 280A, keeping that signature Vox Humana texture alive.
  • Four Timbral Modes: Pick from Original, Bright, Hollow, and Octaves to shape your sound.
  • 10 Factory Presets: Instant access to usable tones, plus the option to save your own.
  • Envelope Control: Fine-tune dynamics with easy Attack and Decay sliders.
  • Built-in Effects: Chorus, Phaser, and Delay add depth and movement — no need to open extra plugins.
  • Standalone Plugin: Works right out of the box as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin — Mac and Windows compatible.

Each element was chosen to stay faithful to the Polymoog vibe while giving modern producers the tools they need to make the sound their own.

Supporting Bob Moog’s Legacy

This is bigger than a cool synth plugin. Every dollar from Vox Humana Plugin sales goes straight to the Bob Moog Foundation, which is working hard to keep Bob Moog’s innovations alive and inspire the next generation.

Marcus Ryle, lead developer of the plugin and Bob Moog Foundation board member, put it this way: “Bob Moog is to synthesizers what the Beatles were to music. His innovations have underpinned much of the music we know and love.”

The proceeds from this plugin help fund projects like Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which brings science and sound together in classrooms, giving kids hands-on lessons with electronic and acoustic instruments. It also supports the Bob Moog Foundation Archives, preserving over 50 years of synth history, and helps maintain the Moogseum — an interactive museum in Asheville, NC, that celebrates Moog’s legacy and educates the public about the science behind sound.

Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, puts it best: “By purchasing this Vox Humana plugin, music creators can get their hands on a piece of iconic synthesizer history while also supporting the important work of the Bob Moog Foundation. It’s a chance to connect with the Moog legacy and contribute to the foundation’s efforts to inspire the next generation of musicians and innovators.”
