Just found this. Looks interesting

The HOFA SYSTEM audio plugin comes with unprecedented possibilities and makes the work on your mixes and productions easier, faster and better. Here you can find the most significant features in order to help you get started.

One plugin with many high-end modules

After inserting a HOFA SYSTEM plugin, you just drag modules like EQs, compressors, reverbs etc. out of the browser into the free space – simple as that. The modules are automatically connected from left to right.
You can drag as many modules as you like and change the sequence anytime.

So, not unlike Slate VMR, Nomad Factory Analog Rack, SoundToys Effect Rack, LVC T-Chain... must be the latest craze

Yup, although HOFA dispenses with the vintage-looking GUIs and has simple, straightforward controls. Seems more flexible and quick to set up, esp. for parallel or M/S processing. The reverb demo sounds pretty good, too. And, you can't complain about the price.

Cheers,
Eddie

Definitely a good price. I've always been intrigued by their plugins but have never pulled the trigger on them.

Curious to see what people who end up buying it think of it.

I was thinking the same.

There is also one by kiloHearts and another one by Melda, and im pretty sure ive seen a couple more that are based on the à la carte system too.

Not exactly a craze...

Modular workflows have been sought after for a long time, but not many actually pull it off in a worth while way.

I've trialled the plugins before and liked them:

The EQ acts as a standard EQ, dynamic EQ, deEsser and Compressor all in the one plugin.
The compressor is pretty cool in that it allows you to pick a type of compression and dial it in with a flavour control. I like this concept in plugins as I find it's a good balance for my personal workflow between a classic plugin (often too complex) and a one knob approach (often too simple).

That being said, I didn't buy them because I couldn't justify using them over and above standard workhorse plugins I already own from fabfilter and izotope. However, I bought into their channel strip concept pre sale price today as I thought it was very reasonable for the quality being offered. In my package, I noticed I was getting two products for the €49 which were the system one and the reverb.

There is a picture on the site saying delay suite, modulation suite, harmonic suite etc so my thinking is for starters you get the plugins listed and the reverb, then as they develop more these will be paid upgrades to the system 1. Not 100% but that's how I read it.

I see system one as different to Kilohearts. I own the snapheap bundle and I see it more as a creative tool with each snap in having basic functionality and very easy to dial in. The snap in bundle really shines when it comes to modulation, it deals with modulation brilliantly and a whole load of fun to use but it could be argued that one doesn't need this if they have Bitwig as this DAW is based on similar workflow.

Looks good and the price is nice. I already have MXXX so I don't really need this, but I think they did a good job with this product.

Really looking forward to it. Tried the Melda MXXX before but it is... ...well, visually not my cup of tea and inconvenient from tweaking side

I have not tried this latest modular one but I have the rest of what they produce and I can say HOFA is really good. IQ-EQ has everything you need, sprectrum analyzer, dynamic EQ option, resizeable GUI. IQ-reverb is also one of my faves.
