We are not sure about the price yet. We also plan, that if you have not bought it, that you also need to click on the Welcome screen once every time you open it to enable the audio processing. Hope that's fair, because you can still use this one instance for free.

That's a damned good deal, and hopefully one that gets you lots of sales.

I finally just got around to testing FilterShaper and it's really well thought out, and can do some really nice tricks. I am worried, though, that most people are not like me (like to fiddle with lots of little screens and options) and that the learning curve might be a little daunting. Which is not to say that I agree. I just see a lot of amazing tools overlooked. Not the least are the last 2 plug-ins you made.

By the way, I couldn't get FilterShaper to crash FL, Reaper or Usine.
I rather liked the random waves option

Yes, that's fair, really fair.

if it's possible, and you don't feel like you're giving away too much, would it be possible to have it display once per session, not everytime you open the interface? I dock things a lot in Energy-XT, and this way I'd have to click everytime I go to the Sequencer dock. Nevertheless, i'd get over it. It's a fair restriction.

it sounds like that's what you're doing though, so thanks!

Yes, that is how we will do it; you need to click only once per session. However that implies that if you open a saved song you need to open the interface once and click on the screen to have the sound processed.

hey Jakob

thank you for this plugin. would it be possible (or make sense for you) to output the plugin's curve shape y-position as MIDI CC? this would enable to universally use the plugin to control whatever parameter one likes to control, of any other synth/effect.

best wishes,
dtd

That's a nice idea, but we won't do that for FilterShaper; but maybe in a separate plugin one day.

We are not so good at doing presets for FilterShaper. It is a tricky job, because the presets are closely related to the sound input, and that was our mistake with the first presets--we chose some drumloops, pads or noise sounds and did presets for them. But these presets will make less sense with other loops.

So whoever comes up with nice presets for this plugin, it would be great if you can send them to us, via contact@cableguys.de (.fxb or .fxp-files).

I'm on it.

Feel free to put little labels ON the presets to show what the intended type of sound is. DRM for Drum, SYN for synth, or whatever. A lot of VSTfx preset designers have done that.
