To be honest one of the things I'm trying to do with the plugin version is make the programming a bit easier. Spinning 2 knobs all day long (on the original) is frankly not my idea of fast & easy programming.

True true, but OTOH it's only two knobs. Pretty easy actually. I t would be nice to have a software version. Hope you pull it off.

ok I'm back at it, date on the last revision was 11/11/08 but here's the 'working' gui, still a few more effects to get working & a nasty bug in one of the delay configurations..Don't know when, but eventually it will be finished

Wow. Looking good. I can't wait for this one. I've just got a original, so I'll be taking a good look at this one, once it's done.

Bump ?

You can morph between 2 presets you make & set the speed at which it changes from one set of settings to the other AND use an expression pedal to do the same thing live.

While I don't know of the Vortex, it sounds like they have modeled it after the automation features about to come up with AriesVerb 0.8

But that's just me ...

I'm also interested in this.

In all honesty I'm not sure if an emulation will succeed, but thats neither here or there really.
What your doing should provide people with lots of fun, especially with the added bonus of multiple parameter control, which as we all know is lacking with the original.

I can happilly blitz round the Vortex all day long, and I do believe some of the control shortcomings force you to use the unit differently in comparison to a more generic multifx.

Mine seems to have developed a bit of a fault though

After e few minutes it randomly flicks between presets, as if it doesn't know where the front panel preset selector is.

Gah

not forgotten or abandoned, just put on hold as I move cross country.

woodster, that's not a happy glitch

If/when you need/want any 'beta' testers, preset makers, please pm me.

BOTH of my (highly prized) Vortex's are dead.

I am drooling over this right now...

By the time you've reached version ONE of Ariesverb.... its going to be making my dinner and dressing me in the mornings.

That's a pretty well known issue. The digital encoder knobs get squirrelly after a while. The Vortex and it's sister, the JamMan both suffer from this. They probably cheap components to keep the price point low. I'm pretty sure it's an easy repair if you can find the part. Check old loopers-delight mailing list archives and I bet you'll find a source for them.

This is just plain silly. A four year old thread about emulating the Vortex. Good luck.

goto ebay and spend $150 and you will have one. I've had mine for over 12 years and it is a fantastic processor that has an awesome live feel. Sounds great and will sure impress the crowd.

Btw, I've used the vortex w/ Mac OS 8.5 -> OSX and Windows 95 -> Windows 7.

Lexicon Vortex emulation?
