Hi, Eyal Thank you for visiting us and caring about our opinion I played a little bit with plugin and have some first impressions if you are curious but please do not hate me for some notes. I understand how much work requires creating of plugin and its lib but it requires some polishing. I run a bass loop and checked different settings. I used Cakewalk by Bandlab of course And first boomer is when changing presets or most of settings to check sounds during playing a loop there are some glitches/clicks. It would be nice if switching were smooth without unpleasant sound artifacts. After some presets/settings checks I turned off all FX/amps/tone etc to check pure sound and also test some external amps. Secondly I think the lib needs a little bit tuning. I seems to be a little above standard 440Hz. I used tune option to down it a bit (about -16 ) but still some intervals were a little not nice. Probably some batch run over samples with basic sounds would do the trick. And the third thing which bothered me was kind of death sounds on lowest string on some notes. Please take a look at pictures below and wav file. Velocities of notes were not spread very wide. Played by plugin on the 5th position, all amps/fx/etc turned off. Record 11 (290).wav But overall I would be interested the plugin especially with current no-brainer price. Just hoping its improvements are still in plans

Oh, yeah... And it pushed me to schedule download of the lib

Hmm, why you feel it is hate? I like zylion of their plugins. And also have a huge amount of them. But does it means I should love everything they made? Some of us were just not impressed by bass sound in demo. I believe we have just heard better sounds (including real bass I didn't notice any hate to Waves itself here I absolutely love Waves. Thanks to them 29$ revolution started. And not only all their plugins are since then very affordable but also from their competitors

I am afraid there is no such linear relationship. Not always much more space used for samples mean better quality about overall instrument sound. For instance they could have sampled at much higher sample rates but done using worse instrument, less compressed or less detailed about articulation, etc... Also sometimes demos could be overcooked (like presets) and instrument can sound decently by itself. Well, anyway as always there is possibility to test any Waves plugin to check by oneself. I am struggling with myself if test it or not. But little afraid. GAS syndrome often tell me buy something actually I don't need, have better alternative etc. Just because there is a great deal... But well, the best deal one can ever do is to save money and not to buy anything what will not be used anyway... 😕

Almost about year ago on 21.06 OTS started group buy for 2018 Maybe we are close to group buy for 2019?

Yep, exactly. And they are adding more and more to the bundle. Those plugins from kilohertz are kind of opposite direction than primary Slate's. Not emulating any specific gear or using gear-like gui but versatile and you can multibandly build what you need. They complement perfectly each other And what's worth to mention you are not bound by big investment, you can just break or suspend at any time and return whenever you want.

Of course, Sergio This one is special And remember not to skip # 31111 as it will be absolutely unique

I was afraid I am alone here not really impressed with sounds in demo

This is kind of wow thing for people who do not hate ilok (cloud or dongle)... They added for free Kilohearts Bundle, access to Slate academy with some of interesting courses and ANA 2 synth.

I am not sure what is more strange... There are created again and again zylion of new compressors or we are still buying more and more

Softube tape is one of very few (or maybe the only?) tape plugin which really integrates with Studio One. So for S1 users it could be hard to beat I am wondering what would be result of blind tests of different tape emulators used in full mix (keeping in mind final result not setting knobs to the same value).

Did you check VST2 or VST3 version? Common issue for many manufactures (like PA for instance) is kind of bug if using plugin container to provide presets they are not shown in VST3 but working in VST2.

Great to have you back, Larry

Yep, as msmcleod mentioned, it is just default neon:

Yep, the same here. To be funny I got email from them with heavy hitter discount down to ... $99 But when logged in got $49 with plugin of the month annotation close to price as below: Not having byome.

It is not bad. I like it more than the previous one.

Well, I can say I don't like very much the new virtual keyboard which replaced piano keyboard. That thing kind of 'modern' approach decrease in fact comfort of using what is used in real in music. Just like fancy chess figures. They look funny and interesting at first glance but make chess unplayable. So I stopped to upgrade and also using ver2.

Yup, thanks Larry You do not only care about our tools for reasonable price but also about our skills

I bet they will extend promo. 59$ even for channel strip in 2019 doesn't sound tempting as intro. We can grab Scheps Omni Channel which is excellent in a promo for less than 29$.

Thanks, Jesse, me too In fact the collector syndrome is bothering me to have nicer, newer etc (and maybe lack of answers whatever they would be from IK I can just use TR4 modules at will (and lots of variations from other manufacturers for the same gears). And keep my money for other things so while I don't feel it right now I am probably happy because of it

Thanks, Grem. Maybe one day I will. At the moment as you can guess , I am not in the mood to think of buying more things from IK.

Yep, true I have all modules from TR4MAX + new 4 for TR5. I don't have Leslie but I don't need it and if I am not wrong isn't part of TR5MAX anyway. Just wanted to upgrade some experience with using them. But I can live with TR4MAX forever it is not end of the world if they don't need my money if I am not finding their upgrade proposal worth of price. What is really make me sad that manufacturers are not so eager and helpful for some topics. It was my another attempt just to ask. And the same result in fact. Silence. Previously got reference to web page where there is an offer... well, already described before. I am not demanding anything. Trying to find a way to give them some money. I like their stuff anyway. I have full Amplitube4 MAX, TR4MAX and ST4MAX. But maybe because I have most of their soft flag things they don't need me anymore??

It is really not bad especially considering their unbeatable prices. But to be sure it is working for you the best is to demo it.
