We are pleased to announce the release of Voxengo Vintage Modulator 1.3 PC VST plug-in -- a massive modulation effects plug-in with a great sound and many features.

This update implements a new "Delay" parameter for additional control over modulation sound. "Wet Cut" parameter has been added as well, to control high frequency content of the "wet" modulated signal.

"OpPhasing" parameter has been introduced to allow control over phase relations between modulation voices: with this parameter it is possible to switch between the "original" spatial stereo modulation sound and mono modulation sound.

Those who intend to use Vintage Modulator with their favorite synth instruments may find the new "Latency Off" switch useful. This switch disables plug-in's "through time zero" functionality while at the same time reducing plug-in's latency down to zero, to allow for real-time use of the plug-in.

Vintage Modulator features:

* Vintage sound mode
* Through time zero design
* Factory presets
* "A-to-B" comparisons
* Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo-to-Stereo processing
* All sample rates supported
* 64-bit internal precision
* Native assembler DSP code

Vintage Modulator is available for purchase on-line for a ridiculously low price of USD 29.95. To obtain demo download and to get more information please visit the Voxengo website: http://www.voxengo.com

the price may be as low as it will - I'm still royally pissed that there's no upgrade path for Analogflux-customers - the main reason why I paid 70$ for AF was the chorus... - not nice!

Every time you update Vintage Modulator that's another slap in the face for me...

Hey, don't be so dramatic. You say you paid for the AF Chorus and you got the AF chorus, didn't you?

Same thing happened when Pristine Space Light came out - AF Impulse users complained and all.

Then Pristine Space Light is removed from the market without a possible upgrade path to PS Full.

I am a Sonar user and have PSL myself, which has been repackaged into Sonar 5, so I'm basically going to pay twice for the same plugin once I upgrade.

The point is that while I may not agree with Aleksey non-upgradeable business politic, I respect it and actually think twice when buying a "Lite" version of a plugin. My current dilemma is with r8brain - should I buy a the pro version, the lite version, or stay with the free version (which gives me good results)?

when Analogflux came out there was no Vintage Modulator - I paid more than three times the introductionary price of Vintage Modulator as an introductionary price for Analogflux and I did this because of the chorus. So I paid much more for a product which is based on the same code but has got less features and if I want to upgrade to the additional features I need to pay the full price of the new product in addition to what I already spent. I wouldn't have bought AF for the other plugins and I rarely use them but I use the chorus all the time. So buying vintage modulator for the full price would mean I wasted all the money I paid for AF. I will never pay the full price for Vintage Modulator and I will never buy anything from Aleksey again.

Not at all. You'll find a buyer for it in no time - hurray for the superb Voxengo licence transfer policy!

It's up to Voxengo to determine the feature sets of their products, and everyone here should know by now that Voxengo is a very honest, dependable and supportive dev.

Hardly his problem why you purchase a plugin suite is it? That in addition to the price range we're talking about turns this really into a nitpickery that is pointless on top of it.

as if that wouldn't mean losing money as well

just because Aleksey is so popular round here he gets away with this kind of shit - Vintage Modulator shares its basic code with AF chorus and I already paid for that long before Vintage Modulator was released - period.

I bought the suite because there was no single plugin!
I was one of the first who jumped onboard and thus supported the popularity of this code (besides recommending it to everybody). And the price range doesn't matter at all!

Maybe you can trade it for a 2nd hand copy of VM?

You bought AF chorus, it's yours now. Enjoy! You like VM better? Buy VM too!

Imagine a fan of yours going: "I will never buy jens' mp3s anymore now that he's released a new remix of a song of his I bought a mp3 copy of and he's charging for the DL of this new remix!"

What kind of shit?

You decided to buy AF. No one forced you. As long as AF works on you system, you have nothing to complain about. New, better, and cheaper products will keep coming out, even from the same developers. That happens everywhere in every area of commerce.

You talk as if you had been ripped off. You haven't. The suggestion of selling the AF bundle to pay for Vintage Modulator is a good one. You may lose some of your investment, but you're already losing it if you don't use all the AF plugs.

I think I made my point, I think it is completely reasonable and I won't discuss this any longer.

In my opinion that post of yours I just quoted makes you a dickheaded troll but of course you are entitled to have your own even though that won't change mine!
