I found the product page on their site last night via a lucky guess but will refrain from posting the link out of respect for FXpansion. The product demos appeared mid-morning and I've been having a play with the Mac version for the past hour during my lunch break and I have to say that it sounds much better than the v-poor audio demos on their site (note to FXpansion). It's also the best looking FXpansion plug-in to date - a step in the right direction.

I'm pretty sure the FXpansion guys are hours/minutes away from launching it today.

In the meantime, here's a little teaser from their site:

Yay! Isn't that a really obscure public holiday for musicians?
the doctor said i have a bacillus called Tremor

I think the technical term is "Tremoroscillizationitis"

That's a great GUI. Wish to hell Geist looked that good.

Now that is it just about out, I wonder if there is any sort of Geist integration?

I totally agree. Synth Squad looks awful to be honest. Looks like something born in a Microsoft laboratory during the GUI design phase for Windows 95. So 90s.

According to the webpage only DCAM and GEIST users get the discount WTF FXP
I have BFD Eco and DR008 (No one will buy it off me hahaha)
Please extend the offer to users of one of those so i can have some interest in this

I'm trying the demo at the moment too, at least I'm trying to do so

I can't play a single preset since Tremor completely destroys my CPU. That's not FXpansions fault though. I just can't expect modern software to run on this ancient PC

In general Tremor doesn't really seem to be for me. I got some really nice kicks out of it but everything else sounds rather meh to me (that's completely subjective of course). Maybe I just haven't spent enough time with it yet.

The layout and the GUI in general is great though! I haven't looked into the manual yet but everything seems to be rather intuitive. I don't get the modulation system yet though (I'm sure one quick look in the manual will fix that).

I'm not really disappointed but also not really impressed yet. Maybe that will change when I start to use the modulation system (which seems to be a big part of Tremor).

Cheers
Dennis

Is the demo officially up?

Have to agree a little with Bronto. I'm a little underwhelmed but I'll report back tonight when I spend more time with it - and when it's officially released.

Not yet. I imagine it's hours/minutes away.

I'll say it again. The GUI is seriously nice guys.

Gotta say that this is OKish, the sequencer is good it has to be said, the synth is good, but the CPU usage is just completely insane, way way too high
Still gonna buy it if they do the deal for all their customers and not just geist/dcam users.

Oh and FXPansion really need some proper programmers for the factory content, most of it is horrid (Ignore it and just go sequence/synth yourself

)

Fxpansion have a NEW drum synth on the way!
