Pricing and Availability

This LOOKs kool! but I gotta say.. the music accompanying this video is a terrible choice to use for demoing audio effects with! It’s Already spacy and ethereal.. otherworldly.. so whatever the effects unit was producing was completely buried! … Jest Sayin’ !
It’s not patched to anything. So it’s pretty obvious that the sounds are prerecorded and this is b-roll of the screen. Jest sayin.
Looks like the link for “Available” in the last line is pointing to the photo, not the site. The href should be https://happynerding.com/category/fx-aid-pro/
Hard to tell about the sounds from the video. Looks pretty great for the price. Well, except for all of the extraneous (to me) white boxes around everything. You can actually see all of the available effects now by going to https://fxaid.app/pro and tapping “Load” on any of the slots.
In case anyone else is lost like I was:
SRR=Sample Rate Reducer
D/W= Dry/Wet (seems obvious now but I’m so used to “wet/dry”…)
Would be sporting if you could use the Right Input and the D/W input for additional CV control, particularly targeting the internal LFO params. Also, maybe a special “LFO” mode via the center dial where the top three knobs control the LFO’s wave/speed/amp (since the device is already lovely enough to support pick-up for those dials).
I really refuse to invest in any hardware that relies on online software to use. So if they go away, is my hardware useless?
I’m happy to spend my money on a Ukraine company. 🙂
Great module although the white circles are overkill and make it look ugly af.
I own a couple FXAIDXL modules and they are great. The fx sound very nice, even when compared to what they’re modelled from. I use the drum sounds quite a bit. The software is easy and powerful. However I am not sure I get the form factor of this one. Is the only difference having the three screens? I get that this could be useful. However at that HP cost, I might rather have almost 2,5 FXAIDXL.
