What are your favs so far ?

[LeftoverLasagne]

I am so far most impressed with EQ22, the quality/versatility of its results are surprising. I'm not even quite sure what it is, I'm guessing it's some sort of a multiband expander with a saturation stage, but damn if it isn't fantastic. Based on Duncan's little write-up, I tested it out with heavy compression before it, I'll be damned if it doesn't do exactly what he says it does.

And Pushteq, I started playing around with it on a drum beat, the high frequencies came out so lovely. Haven't A/B'ed it against other EQs (maybe all EQs would have sounded good on that drum beat, I can't say), but just on its own, really sounds great.

someone who likes the EQs

thanks for your kind words regarding our "Pushtec".

Lunchbox Battles - terribly fun.

Haven't tried any others yet!!! Just found out about them being released for public consumption.

zombie fungus is great with his head in the upper left

Zombie was actually designed with live tweaking in mind. I think it's greatest while the head is moving!!! It was originally designed as a mono FSU device for samples etc. Features were added transforming it into a tempo synced rhythmic FX unit. Try some cheezy analog arps like sytrus through it... Auto Experimental/IDM/Industrial! I'm afraid it will be long after the contest is over before most users are unlocking the true potential of the Zombie.

my favourite is 3cheeze so far -it's great - the best pm-synth I tried so far - but why oh why has the output gain to be so f**king high - I almost blew my speakers!

Is there a race for the loudest synth going on? Drop it!

Sorry... it's so cheesily coded that some modules/configs are very silent so that I had to raise the overall volume.

Unfortunately the default setting is really acid, I gotta fix that in an update...

So far it's between S.A.N.E FM, Pushtec, Rezon8 and Mini-Vyn. Some i had to eliminate immediately because they were just too slow or ate my cpu for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack inbetween each...i also discarded a few because to me they're pretty useless.

the loopers are fun. the betabugs one makes my Audomulch's graphics slow down..but a part from that works perfectly.

Choralozoide makes me wanna do vocals

Pondular in all it's innocent gui can disgorge some terrible sounds

haven't got the picture of what Fire does a part from splattering things all around. which sounds cool.

anna looks too big and elastic to be free. made just a quick test and that someway crude electric sound got my attention

still, I have to try Collide and Play with my samples, but it's sweet.

Cubix is wow.

as said before, Ritual sounds very pissed off.

the piano vst gets my "?" for no velocity implementation.

can't wait to try the eqs and all the rest.


all those plugins are going to suck life out of me and make my hairs grey like a clooney wannabe.

I'm so in love with Lunchbox! If only it allowed loading of own samples, but I guess the export to midi is a work-around. It's just so intuitive and fun to play with! Excellent jamming tool!

EDIT: Correction. Just discovered that the kits in Lunchbox are defined in a simple text-file, so adding own kits is quite easy

On to testing the others...

Cheers.

I've discovered zombiefungas to be great on pads, and controling it with my AXYZ controller is just unreal...great fun!

You can actually, via a workaround. In the "sounds" folder you can add your own ".kit" file (basically a simple textfile you can open/create with notepad).

In this file you have to enter 10 lines (check out the kit-files that are already there for an example). The first line is the title of the kit which shows up in the screen, the next 9 lines are the samples that need to be loaded.

You can simply put the kit-file and the samples in the "sounds" folder. Or you could take an existing kit-file and just swap 1 or 2 samples with your own.

Thanks Bram. Already discovered this though Congratulations on creating a great little tool!

I've made my own kit already, works perfectly. My only wish for it would be that right click on BPM/Kit/Groove would go back one step. Right now, you have to go all the way past 200 BPM to get to 90 from 100.

You can always use the < > keys (or tap the tempo using "Caps lock") to adjust the tempo again.

Good to hear you've figured out how to make kits. I was thinking about creating an editor for it, but it would have taken a lot of work for something which is relatively simple to do without.

That's somewhere in the manual, isn't it? I really should have a look at it.

Thanks, Bram.
