Nice! Glad to see they're doing more marketing ideas for these, they need to raise the profile on these excellent plugins, and Sascha would be a millionaire by now, in a just world.

Could you post a large screenshot?
Thanks in advance.

Is it that good ? (I mean : better than Buzroom, Loser DVC, Reacomp & all ?
(at least, it is that good-looking
)

Just download the Blockfish freebie and you'll quickly come to this conclusion: Yes, it is THAT good. 
Ordering my copy now!!!
EDIT: though it looks like you can't edit any of the advanced controls.. what a pity! Hmm.. It's probably still really good. (could somebody check if the advanced controls can be found "hidden" when you use the default VST GUI? )
Cheers!

Just to clarify a bit here:
The SE version is mainly the 'vintage' mode of the regular am-track plugin. which means, the VCA compression as well as the tape simulation is not included. Furthermore, some 'expert' controls are not available, such as the predelay and the 'capacity' control for the adaptive release.
What you get: faithfully-modelled FET-based feedback compression, with the typical gain-riding sound of feed-back compressors, plus a semi-automatic release time mechanism. The release knob is a coarse direction, the unit does the rest. This is the same as having set the regular am-track to 'adaptive release' and leaving the 'capacity' control at center position.
Some tips, while I'm at it: this thing's got an ultra smooth knee, the ratio depends greatly on the input signal, be it volume or envelope. A common habit with fb compressors applies to am-track as well: when you measure its static transition curve, it looks more like 4:1 compression. But on the transients, it'll compress a lot more, or even limit or squash the peaks. This is true until the FET as the gain control device (as a voltage divider) gets saturated; its nonlinear behaviour and its slew rate limits the transient (and later the steady-state) response in a way that very loud passages make the compression slope go back to 1:1. This beast is highly interactive.
Included in the SE version is the post-compression output transformer model that adds additional harmonics according to signal energy as well as changing the whole spectrum a bit. This is *very* subtle, but trained ears and good monitors might reveal that.
