I want to buy this.. I love the way it sounds, I’m using reason… Kind a bummer, but if there is an RE rack extension port I want it. Great very smooth sound on this plug in!
Simply use a free VST host or Cockos – Reaper as a permenent free trial… Inexpensive to buy.
Bumpa bum bum dun dun duuuunnnnn…….
Awesome, I love the first phonec – use it all the time

Yeah, i think this would make a great RE rack extension …
“Oscillator drifting” — funny how things people used to complain about become features.
When it’s offered as an opt-in vs. something you have to put up with, it’s a feature. But yea, I get your “drift”.
hope this becomes an iPad app as soon as possible!!!
SECOND THIS!
I would buy an iPad version without second thought. Strongly considering the PC version right now. What an awesome synth 🙂
So much fun! I would love an OSX effect version of the Echo Shifter + Melt!
Just bought this for the pitch shifter delay, sounds amazing. It’s certainly got its own sound that seems darker and softer, but very organic and alive.
Much recommend, very happiness!
How does this compare with the raw crusty sound of the Erebus with it’s modulatable BBD (Bucket Brigade) delay effect ?
yeah theres always room for more kool rack extensions in reason 😉
Have had this for about 5 years. It has a heavy Boards of Canada influence, especially in the pre-programmed chord structures. I demoed the new one and it is of slightly higher quality than the original.
