To all those guys that say SE plugins should not be sold, and that guys charging small fees for there SE creations are wrong.

balance this out, a small fee of maybe 10-25 $
for sometimes 2 dozen plugins with full credit to
Synthedit and the sdk module makers gets slagged off

get yer kakers round this

I have slight feeling this thread may get long
enter the gladiators.

a bargain price of



did they put the 4 in there by mistake















$:583.423

Eur:507.784

£:349.00

What a bargain, I've just ordered two. And really nice GUI too, there's just no pleasing some people

also available in luxury satin

a) if it has such a price tag, it must be good.
b) for if it wouldn't have such a price tag, it wouldn't be that good, would it?
c) how else would it convince a customer that it is so good if it hasn't such a price tag.

.imo, this is protools quality range software.
.honest.
(but, a bit pricey for me at the moment )

"Also available in luxurious Satin".

HA HA HA

"SAVE over £390 with this BUNDLE PRICE offer! Get our 4 leading VST plug-ins - MittyGate, CoffeeLadder, Purple Compressor and Spectral Sock for just £899!!

OFFER ENDS September 1st 2003."

Dang! Too late...

..oh dear..what a mess

just a very for most of you here stupid question..how do you know it was made in SE?

mind you..there not daft...theve just got to sell 2 or 3 copies to a few people and theve probably made more money than a lot of small developers with $20 products.

didnt realise it was april 1st???

are they taking the piss or what?

their guis makes me want to throw.

got to hand it to them for being so blatantly arrogant

if people are stupid enough to buy this, then good luck to them!!!

This is a joke right - somebody is having a laugh.

After listening to the mp3 samples its not a question of being stupid enough to buy it you would have to be deaf

that gun on the "luxurious Satin" GUI says it all, isn't it?

oh, dear...

yes, the first one sounds like someone kicked the poor drumloop down the stairs

Their 'sister' site www.halion.co.uk is registered to a Peter Buick of London. Anyone recognise him from the SynthEdit list?

(As for the eprson who asked "How do you know they're SynthEdit-made... the knobs and sliders. They've used the defaukt knobs that ship with SE, not even their own custom versions)

God those are some fuckin ugly UI's. Guess those big-buck price tags are especially imrepssive since they decided to concentrate on the code, and skip the extra cost of a graphic artist...

oh, no, not again

harper wrote:

Some of the graphic elements like knobs and sliders are default SE graphics.

I am sorry you are going to have to try harder to con me out of my hard earned cash.

Although the spectral sock does look impressive with its one button solution for making your mixes cleaner

Spectal Sock, Tea Ladder, Coffee Ladder - pick an effect an add a random word to it

Piss Poor Delay, Shite Reverb, Anal Filter, Crap Chorus - this is fun - now where is my copy of Synth Edit.

cheers...i wonder if theres any more out there (with more professional guis) that have fooled and are still fooling everyone???..or would the educated person notice...im only asking because ive never heard a SE creation..or maybe i have

or a web designer ... check the white-on-grey text on the page for their bargain basement Coffee Ladder, a steal at only 299 .....

btw "Mittygate" is only their mid-price module, the prize for the most expensive SE creation ever goes to the flagship model Purple Compressor at 399

You think at that price it'd be ... ummm ... purple rather than pink?

Here's their email : info@SoundDesigners.biz. Should we make a bulk order for a couple of thousand Spectral Socks ?

I bet he coded like a mad for 6 months to get those colors.

I knew $15 for Vokko was too cheap, I'll change the price to $1500 (at least)

Priceless.

I think they should at least be in the news section at KVR as they are pro-quality effects.

Ohhhhh it uses "LexoVerb" that makes it clear

This happens when you mix a 12 years old programmer wanabee and SE

If you follow the "Halion" links, you get to this password protected area where you have to REGISTER in order to hear Mp3 demos of their free 808 kit . I love these guys !

BTW, the "Purple Compressor" is only £399

better get one while I wait for my $1000 pizza.

Anyway, I am still waiting for the satisfied customer who will have only one KVR posting but will not in anyway be connected to the developer of these plugins.

every "application" has a demo-link which is not
active. I know already their excuse: "we are
working on a demo version." in sumptuously silk.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, boy! Wha's zup wit DAT! It looks like a cool effect - but 349pounds? That's like $750 CDN! And it's not not SmartElectronix and others can't handle this concept already.

Da's sooo wack, it HURTZ!

This has GOT to be somebodys idea of a joke, don't you think ?

Either that, or some kid that wants some spending money and figures "but I only need to sell one ...

B B

Man, that effect messed me up so bad - I posted twice!

Maybe this was an April fools joke but they forgot to take it down the day after

Hi,

i am serious about their purple compressor just to compare it to the hardware they mentioned, did any buy or hear this thing yet?

And about Synthedit, you can make your own code and modules in Synthedit as far as i know. So maybe this guy is just a DSP-Guru and a bad graphic designer who uses synthedit to make the GUI, but uses his own coded modules.

Any experiences?

Xarc I think you might have to wait a long time before anybody on this forum buys one of these products.

:: anybody know of some cute little blonde so I can finalize her with my purple kompressor ??

This guy is pathetic. The GUI's are dead ugly (and indeed about 80% standard SE gfx). The effects are not bad, but not that special either. The only thing that really stands out is the price
Also where the hell to download the demo versions? All links seem to be disabled or something. Who would ever buy a plugin of 300$ without trying it out?!

The only Peter I can remember was the guy who had quite a row with Chris Kerry over commercial modules and some go at Tom from EFM. I think he left the group in a huff. I only peripherally checked the group then, so I don't know if it's the same guy.

Cheers,
Steve.

PS have a look at www.peterbuick.com for more of the same.

Listen to the clicking all over the first Mittygate demo. I wouldn't use it for free.

I will mail these guys and see if i can get a Demo of Purple Compressor

_ but - didn't mother Nature give you one at birth time?

Mattias

im messing about with a phrase delay thingy right now
infact thats how I found those pages searching for phrase delays.

it's bacially gonna be 4 or 8 or 16 stereo delays
with hold > ck big delay so upto 80sec as you know
switching between all the delays is fun and can result in some pretty wacky grooves testures etc.

hey, an idea, do the skin, we will selll it for $500
then we can goto brazil for xmas.



I,ll let ya know when it's ready.

ps, do you know anything like this out there ?

Look at this handy metronome tool....


... how on earth can you justify charging a tenner for this.

And look at this super useful app that tracks down clicking...

That's a tenner too.

I mean, the least he could do is give Slate away for free with every copy Mittygate so you can find where that terrible clicking is coming from.

Aha!

EDIT : Bugger changed the links about

I think this is a good reason why SE developers aren't taken as seriously.. stuff like this always occuring.

This guy has no class at all.

Well it looks like the developer, Mr Buick, is a little confused. He's not sure if he's a "freelance animating storyteller, music composer and technical author" or a "freelance journalist, consultant and musician/composer".

Doesnt seem to be much evidence of skill in any of these things at his website. But he will sell you anti-spam software (lotta spammers do that, funnily enough) PC case badges (!) 'herbal aids' and is promsing "A revolution in granular synthesis for the Windows PC platform !"

Love his other list of other websites. Sure doesnt sound like some kind of dodgy operator to me, oh no...

Using Grooves in Steinberg Cubase VST Module |
[ £7 Take Now ]
Steinberg Cubase VST 5 is one of the leading desktop audio/MIDI music sequencing programs available. The "Groove" feature has been one of the most wildly mis-understood and under used features of it. This module explains how to use the Groove Function to put feel back in to both MIDI and Audio parts."

Removing Red Eye in Photoshop Module |

this guy does have to be kidding though..i mean, anarchy fx and virtual creations ultrachopper ar already mittigate alternatives that are stable and mature and sound great at a fraction of the cost..

i think it's irreleevant they are synthedit jobbies, i wouldn't pay that much for ANY single plugin period..we are talking $1200 in my currency, for just the compressor!!!!!

Hold up guys, don't anyone buy yet. Wait until around December when I'm sure they will have a 50% off sale. Either that or a 99% off going out of buisness sale.


PURPLE COMPRESSOR

This is obviously a joke. And I do think it's pretty funny. I'm sure these guys are laughing their asses off. More power to 'em if they can get someone to buy their products. Can you imagine how hard they laugh when someone buys something, it's the joke that keeps on giving.

Anyway, about the Purple Compressor. Funny as hell! I commend them on their humor.

Compressor by Buick (of course it's a brand name, must be good)

Valve dust

Valve Age / Fet Age

And of course there are pictures of 5 tubes. Just imagine the warmth this thing must have.

And last but not least there is the oh so important Battery saver button. Wouldn't want to waste any unnecessary power now would we.

LOL!!! This is a great laugh, they make a great point about how people will buy almost anything based upon broad unproven claims.http://www.webdesignshop.net/sounddesignersbiz/PurpleCompressor _screenshot.htm
