Perhaps I'm to old for a design like this, but if there would be a oldschool view version available, I would buy!

You can do this in most synths with mseg steps, Which synths do you have?

I am just fascinated about their model and that 1) kvr is not in up in arms about it 2) and clearly it works for them else I am sure by now they would have abandoned it.

Thank you and yes I know, I have many synths with that feature and some FX VSTs for example Zenith and LFO Tool and FL Studios Gross Beat, but what I like on simple Trance Gates is, you just have to click on off without drawing and fiddle. But if you like mseg steps, the best plugin for that I found yet, is Gatekeeper!

I went through the same process a couple of years ago. I looked at half-a-dozen options, installed three of them and bought the kHs one. I like the circle and, as someone who has been able to read a clock face since he was 4 or 5 years old, it makes perfect sense to me. Dividing a circle in to halves, thirds, quarters and eighths is also much easier for me so I don't select the wrong step as often as I do with a linear sequence. That's probably why lots of newer products, from Audio Damage's Enso to Ubsershcall's Elastik, are now doing the same thing with loops.

I think a big part of it is how well it works for us, the end-user. In case you haven't got the email yet, there is an update available and when you run it, it will remind you how easy kHs make everything. Between that and their regular 50% off sales, kHs are fast becoming my favourite developer.

If the hands of a clock would constantly run with 130 - 180 BPM, it would be hard to read the time! And in combination with some beer, you could fall into hypnosis!

EDIT:
But I'll give it another chance, My "trial time" is over, but I bought it from pluginboutique, because I had virtual cash and they give you a saturation plugin for free, that's a great deal!

Their Trance Gate is my go-to, workflow is so smooth and fast. But I can understand if you are visually dependent as opposed to listening to what is happening. You can toggle a single step and listen to how it changes, that's one way of approaching editing that doesn't require moving your eyes to follow which current step is playing.

Yes, it works perfect and tight and has a great envelope, it's a professional work!

Perhaps, they could integrate a button to deactivate that constantly moving circle and instead just a short blinking at the start of the gate sequence for orientation? That could prevent hypnosis!

It's a pity that Kilohearts abandoned KH ONE in favor of Phase Plant

I received email yesterday that v1.8.4 is released, but the installation file still points to 1.8.3 telling me I have the latest version. I downloaded the installation file both from the link in the email, and now via their website. Anyone successfully upgraded to v1.8.4?

Hmm... that shouldn't be happening. Worked fine for me (just tested as I've not actually updated it yet!) and we've not had anyone else with this issue (so far...). Please drop an email to support@kilohearts.com about it and they'll look into it.

Yeah, a bit weird I must say. I sent an email to Kilohearts yesterday, but thought I just might ask here if anyone else is having the same problem.
