So anyone have an example of stuff they've done with this on less synthy material. I've mostly played around with oscillators and sustained tones. Would be cool to hear some examples with guitar, horns, etc.

I'm just about to try it with guitar, watch this space.

Hi Rockin

That's exactly what I thought.
They've really shot themselves in the foot with that one.
Makes me want the real thing.

Thanks for posting those clips Shamann.

I don't know how, but Audio Damage passed below my radar screen completely, and I'm an FX whore. Weird. If I hadn't read this thread, I'd still be in the dark. I loved the character on the new filter - the stepsequencer stuff is useful, but it's the actual filter character that impressed me - not the usual bland filtering. Some of my favourite synths use 12db/oct filters (MS10/20, Yamaha CS series, and even in s/w I prefer to use 12dB/Oct if it's available). The filter character reminds me of an old synth, but I can't quite remember which one - very sweet though. i think i might have to buy a few of their FX. Your Dubstation clip...sounds right up my street. I love Ohmboyz for sustained dubbery, but it distorts too quickly, and the main gripe for me is the dodgy automation for the flags.

What's the automation like on Dubstation? Anyone had problems with it for sutained delays etc, or does it work smoothly?

Ah sweet...there are some new Dub toys I can buy

It puzzles me how I've missed AudioDamage for so long though...

Dubstation's great- it's easy to control the feedback so it doesn't go apeshit before you want it to.
/edit: I've just run a jangly guitar line through BigSeq- this plug is making me grin big time. The one thing it's doing which I don't like ( in T2 ) is when I bring the dry signal up above -INF the wet signal disappears immediately and doesn't return until the dry signal is set back to -INF

That's a weird one. Just confirmed that it happens in T v1.6, too. Doesn't happen in any other host I try, so it's definitely a host thing. I'll send Chris an email to let him know.

HI

I almost bought this; then realised I had something similar with Gat'r ...

I can't tell how diffrent they are but without a demo I never will.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has tried both as they do seem very similar.

Flipper:

If you already have Gat'r, you probably can live without our BigSeq. BigSeq is direct competition for Gat'r. It has a couple less features, but is somewhat easier to use, and quite a bit cheaper. If you've already got it, I would feel kind of bad if you bought BigSeq, because, for basic things, they're more or less the same plug.

Hi Chris,

Any chance of bundles on your plugs? I'm interested in BigSeq, the 907 filterbank and Discord (is that the pitchshifter?)

I tried the Gat'r demo extensively against BigSeq in the early stages of the plugin. The biggest difference is that BigSeq has cutoff frequency sliders per step, so it is much more of a stepfilter as a result.

Gat'r has a more advanced step sequencer, with swing, gate time and tie steps. It also has a delay stage and a lot more presets.

A closer comparison to BigSeq would be Tiny God's Murmur Pro, except it has two parallel filter lines which are always on (when you bypass filter B, you hear the dry signal) with adjustable resonance and volume as well. I love Murmur Pro, but the two work out to be very different. I could not get Murmur to sound like BigSeq (and vice versa) because of the differences in the filters.

Like Chris says, maybe not essential to have more than one of the above (I have two of three), but they do all offer some different flavours from one another.

HI

Thanks for that feedback.
