It's the same discount as every sale. So I'm pretty sure if you buy now, you won't regret it later.

Will this be the year I will finally buy Repeater?

I wondered what might happen if I tried to make the PWM Malevolent do something else than growl at me. Boy did it not disappoint. It still has its edge which gives a lot of life to the arp. Enjoy!

Yeah the series is pretty niche I guess. It's not your bread and butter synths. It's more in the direction of soundscapes. But those can form an awesome soundbed for techno. It's the reason I bought my Lyra-8. If your friend is into this kind of sound, he should really check out Sinoid from the same FABRIK series.

You daredevil! But perhaps you're right. The entire series sounds pretty sweet and if they would offer the entire bundle (which would be an upgrade for me because I already have Sinoid), that would be even better. Edit: I contacted them to see if they could drop a tiny hint as to this is the right strategy. Can't hurt to ask. Edit 2: without disclosing too much info and some assurance from them, I'm buying now.

You beat me to it (of course). This sounds absolutely insane in a good way. Just up my alley. I'm buying this. And I'll be on the lookout for BF deals on the rest of the FABRIK series. Oh and a cool thing SINE let's you do is extent the playable range.

I would. This is a great tool I use too little for 'the hunt' but I use it a lot for the lowest price history.

That's a good price nowadays. I was lucky to get mine before the $500 price hike though.

Very good news indeed. Still a bit too expensive, but I'm sure it will drop some more at some point.

Had fun building all kinds of arps and hooking up the MIDI Fighter Twister to a granular effect. I got the idea to change the grain size sync (is that a thing?) on the fly to get a glitch like effect. It worked out pretty well. Anyway, enjoy!

Good question, I hope so. I don't feel like waiting another year.

Not really. And apparently in september too, but also not really. This is not about the bullshit plugin itself. It's about the bullshit marketing texts. Specifically I'm guessing the ChatGPT-ing of the entire description. Granted, I got carried away a bit when writing the post. But I get increasingly more annoyed at BS descriptions where you can easily tell no human has made an effort.

Also, humans can defy gravity perfectly. I can. Just not for very long. But it takes very little effort.

Besides that, he's also doing volumes. I believe Sinead O'Connor once sang about Larry: "nothing compares...."

Haha I tried to post a different topic here, it immediately got buried to page 7 😜

I can really recommend this one for hiphop beat makers.

Inspired by the King's topic on bullshit plugins: How about a (name and shame?) bullshit marketing thread? Is it deals related? Maybe, it often is ("get it now, we can't maintain these prices for long"). What got me going was the absolutely unreadable text for the Relab Maselec MEA-2 Precision Stereo EQ plug-in. Then came the Quickmuse where I read the whole description and still had NO clue what is was, up until I was at around 75% of the entire text where it kinda dropped some hints it was an effect. I had to doublecheck the Plugin Boutique URL to see what this thing is. But also the Waves sales prices definitely qualify for a bullshit award. Or Plugin Alliance. A Brainworx Clipper for $249?! You're not fooling anyone, except perhaps newcomers. But, to give PA credit, that particular product page is actually very informative almost without any buzzwords. I do have a feeling the testimonials are on the BS scale, but I'm not against all marketing, it's fine. I know that writing a well structured marketing text with the right balance between promotion and product info is an art in of itself. This could be something a developer isn't particularly good at (and there's no shame in that). So I have the feeling a lot of these things are generated by ChatGPT, and it shows. For me, such practices put me off. If I can't read your text, have no clue what you are selling me, or if I get the feeling I'm being scammed with the price, I'm out. Any thoughts?

Oh good that you mention it. I was not going to get it because I too thought it was the same.

Oh god this ChatGPT marketing buzzword soup has to stop.

I have The Prince and it is...ok enough for the discounted price I got it for. So I'll demo these sounds, perhaps it's in the same ballpark.

It's getting predictable. But still lots of fun. Still practicing live arrangement. Went a bit too long, but I made it work. Anyway, as always, enjoy!

Same here, they seem like awesome and fun libraries. But I have no real use for them besides fun so that doesn't justifies the price, even discounted.

Also, a second instance seems to do very little to the CPU.

CPU load is quite insane for 1 synth. GUI open or not doesn't make a difference for me. It takes 12% of my CPU, that is Ozone 11 with 8 active modules territory.

I use this one all the time on the drum bus. Just a barely noticeable amount which makes the drums very cohesive.
