When I first saw the email announcement this morning, I thought that maybe they were trying to squeeze another glitch plugin in between Effectrix and Turnado, but that's not the case at all. The demos sound good and it looks like a pretty cool pattern sequencer/effect...uh, thingy. Gonna check out the videos later on.

Oh, and AAX as well!

Hopefully, you mean "cracking" as an adjective, not a verb.

haha yes "cracking" meaning great

A groove instrument...

Can it be compared with something like Geist?

IMO there are similarities to Geist. The pattern/part idea is much like Song Mode of Geist.

Maybe Im wrong but to me it seems like live's slice to midi in vst form

i own Live and i bought this, so i guess Egoist offers something more, i own Geist too, maybe it's worth downloading the demo.

Looks like Effectrix is built into it, that's a bonus.

Can it be utilized as an effect plug, or only as VSTi ?

Annoying price for EU customers though

99€ / 99$

This looks sweet actually. I own geist, but if i didn't own geist already I might have gone for this instead. The built in Effectrix is the main thing, its like geist on steroids.

Do anyone know how to trigger slices with midi keys? As it is now it does not work since it also changes the patch/pattern. It might actually be a bug, since it makes no sense.

Would also like a initialize option, hate it when developers forget about this like AAS's new versions.

First mess around with the demo. Decided to record it.

It's quite fun. This is a "Hammerhead" for the next generation, I suppose. I can see this being useful to quickly build little breakdowns and stuff. It needs a few more options, I think, such as LFO sync for the bass synth filter, a way to choose to tie filter envelopes in the effects section, for when you don't want a row of "on" filter steps to do a machine gun type thing. And definitely it needs a highpass filter on the tape stop effect - otherwise you're getting serious rumble with certain sounds and settings. I had to highpass the entire output in Cool Edit.

I'd want an option to cut the sample to 16ths, or if it can't do that, just a regular spacing for the cuts that you can adjust the freq of by hand, plus a swing factor for every other cut.
