The Opal Morphing Synthesizer Black Friday deal puts Universal Audio's flagship synth plugin at $49, 67% off, until Nov 30, 2026.
Opal pairs an analog-style voice with wavetable oscillators in one synth engine. The maker's aim is a big sound that stays close to finished, record-ready results however far you push the controls.
It is the UAD Native version, so it runs on a Mac or PC without any UA hardware. Universal Audio says it now works with any soundcard on Mac and PC.
The sound source is built from oscillators, morphing filters, LFOs and noise. Universal Audio calls it a modern soundscape maker with deep analog roots.
The maker says you can get from an empty patch to an epic sound, and to a song, within minutes.
Morphing filters are the centrepiece. They let a patch shift character over time instead of sitting on one static tone.
Opal carries studio-quality UA effects on board, so a patch can leave the synth already sounding finished. That keeps your signal chain short, with fewer inserts to load for a basic sound.
The effects section covers:
Universal Audio says these effects make any production fuller and more professional sounding.
The presets were crafted by the synth designers inside UA. They are curated for quick use across genres, so you can land on a usable sound the moment an idea hits.
Universal Audio describes them as album-ready. They also act as a guide through the synthesis options, so you can go deep into the engine without getting lost.
If you produce, sound design or play live, Universal Audio positions Opal for all three. The pitch is one synth plugin that gives you the oscillators, the filters and the finishing effects in a single window.
Yes. The Opal Morphing Synthesizer Black Friday deal is 67% off, bringing it to $49, and it ends Nov 30, 2026. It is Universal Audio's analog-meets-wavetable flagship synth, supplied as the UAD Native version.
No. The version included with your purchase is UAD Native, which runs on a Mac or PC without any UA hardware. Universal Audio also says Opal now works with any soundcard on Mac and PC.
