Radiojunk doesn't work here either.

Untested is everything over 40mb, I'm not bothering on a slow isp connection just to delete it a few weeks later.

I think you need to have that Nebula Free thing for them there radiojunkits to work
[edit] except the pdf says;
I've been making stuff with the platform for a while, but this is my first time making something for the 'Acqua' variant, which means that the end user doesn't need Nebula to run these.

Thank you to all the developers. I'm looking forward to trying the stuff out...

Thank you to all the developers and contributors.

You could call this DC12 the "KVR Studio Package" (like the CM Studio), because there is almost a tool/effect/synth/sample/preset for just about any mixing/music making task in there, aside from a full DAW.

Commercial devs are going to have to step up their game after seeing this stuff.

no, you don't need anything else for it to run. i know it's working for some people and it definitely works here, and for the few who i had test it. so it's some kind of bug. if anyone wants to help me figure it out, pm me some info about your system/setup. OS version, host, cpu, ram

it could be that it needs a little more of an up to date cpu... or that it just doesn't do too well under some hosts.

OK Heres my take, sorry didnt check out any of the samples or presets...yet!

I selected most of the Windows (not doing OSX) and checked a lot out. First flash impressions some nice submissions.

My favourites :

Aurelia filtah - interesting and fun. Tweaked around and awared with some nice tones and effects, down side the cut stepping seemed not overly smooth. Would like to see this with sync controls on the LFO and waves. I enjoyed this, an excellent and worthy submission.

DustBckt Simple and effective. Liked what this does with the pads and also on the percs and parts. Another keeper however very similiar to TAUs dub delays.

DelStdKVR12 love this especially the solo functions for the different band passes a keeper. Reminds me of PSP influence GUI with an edge of soundtoys.

PTeq-la Great eq and produced some nice sounds with the tube. Subtle with some mojo, could be a keeper. Strike that it's a keeper - love this.

Soundrider
….where's the full screen function, this is very trippy and I like it  a lot, very rewarding when tweaking eq. On a serious side when playing with the eq seriously boosting I wasn't convinced I was seeing a true representation, then realised I must have notch the Average mode. Very usable.

Proximity Not sure if it hits the mark in what its trying to achieve, but I did like the presets for the more subtle settings. But I do think this is a grower and a keeper for me.

Thrillseekker XTC Loving what this does to the lows. Mojo? What is that about then  Blues my favourites on drums and bass. Blacks on pads, keys and strings for me. A keeper as usual and lovely sound.

Transient. Nice submission, caught me off guard with the sound till I started to tweak the detection filter (HP/LP). Like the sound on the mid and uppers, not sure I like the low end of this plugin. Actually found it more usfull for cutting out certain sounds in frequencies using the timing settings. Interesting plugin, could be a grower.


Other effects my impressions.

Acidacidaes luxury compressor - sounded interesting, didnt spend time with it the gui is visually impairing the use rather than complimenting the plugin.

AXPSftA3OD not my bag. Liked the left and right hand gain controls on the mouse, good idea. Overall some very nice subtle distortion which creates some warmth if not over used. Certainly looks like a bootsie GUI influenced design.
Azurite first on switched to bright preset and had a tweak applied to a simple drum loop. Experienced something in the playback and it may be me, I felt there's phasing issues in the signal path and quite flat, 2 dimensional? Saying that after tweaking I was getting some lovely phasing effects and modulation. Interesting and very usuable.

Bolds64, I don't get it. Had a play and reminded me of a lot of early Reaktor ensembles. Not for me.

Clip shifter not a plugin I would use much so cant comment.

Flame innovated but not a wow for me unfortunately, probably not spent enough time with the two channels, but I couldn't see how to mix filter 1 & 2 as 1 seemed to be applied to left channel and 2 to the right. Not a fault probably me not understanding the plugin.Nice sound though, did bring out some cool nuances.

Freqshifter similar to Aureliua but not owning any real mojo or new in comparison with whats out the in my opinion. Nice simple plugin to use, not my flavour.

Fusion delay. Another delay with some nice dub feedback and effects. Hate the gui and colours hard to see, but saying that I like it. Wouldn't use it much with comparison of whats already out here. Had a crash with the GUI in Cubase 6.5 incidentally. Had to reboot Cubase.

GuitarAmpSim3 seems to be bias to the right hand speaker. Didn't gel with this one, seemed to over the top, scratchy and difficult to make sonically pleasing.

Lkjb Pitchdelay Not liking the GUI. Didn't want to get into it, nothing stuck me as wow.
Maxwell Smart - struck me as rather clever. Nice loudness for lifting the signal, fairly warm sounding and nice transients (I think that's the correct way to describe it). Fairly transparent. Nice.

Philteroid, nice name, GUI too small on my screen and found it difficult to work with. Like the presets and had a tweak with settings, not overly rewarding and hit a lot of silences without knowing how. I need more time with this and think this is a grower :)

Space 360 not convinced its 360, like the gui, fun. Like the speaker placement. Not keen on the ambience, workable but not quite bright enough for me when set to larger rooms. However a good submission and usable. Was expecting to see how the speakers would sound if positioned behind the figure in the gui. Didn't work  simple left right and near , afar reverberation and signal mixing. Novel with the focus points and patterns. Like the idea behind this one.

Tapatiki (love the name) nice delay with 8 stages and good effects. Reminds me of GRM Tools and waves supertap. Nice sound and usable delay.

Vintager Toy. Fun. Small GUI but usable. Interesting concept but I am not convinced. Leave this one to the more experienced to compare and comment.
Octave down - simple . Didn't measure or analyse this one, walked on by.

The Insturments. Difficult section as there's so many good synths out already. Noting really stood out for me, think this is going to be an vst rather than a vsti again 

Minisynth series. Simple, not my sounds or bringing anything new.

AGR - Leave this one to the step fans…again not my thing. Couldn't get a sound out of it lol@me.

Aliquoter - again not for me. Didn't like the sound.

Automathico - Not my thing.

Black Mamba - Nice use of the Dune style interface. Not a great SFZ user so didn't get into this. Looks good though.

Catalyst - I love the Hello Sparkle and the Rusty edge is nice and dirty on the mids when tweaking the filters. A lot of the other sounds are a little flat . Great for SAW.

Hydra PL - No gui on my system, tested concurrently with the others. Not for me.

Kamiooka A lot of thoughts been put into this. There's some nice original sounds in here and a nice GUI. A grower and needs time to learn 

KlingKlong - simple, put a smile on my face, wacky quirky and great when routed through various effects  Not sure where the 'random hit machine' comes in but must refer to something random I guess @? Really nice sample collection of hits for drums etc. a sampler sound source rather than a plugin in my opinion.

Matrix 8000 - no what ever key I pressed on different presets I was finding my ears focusing on a mid range soundwave regardless of bass, LFO, keys, Pad, FX. Very monotone.

Poly 2106 Great array of sounds. Fun to tweak and a good submission. Nice sounds with some lush analogesque vine on the filter and sweeps  Again a small GUI…grrr. Could be a keeper.

Sifft 16voice - great fun, simple wav manipulation, perky effect when applied to vocals and tweaking the time on the fly. Love to see this one evolve more for functionality and sound. Good potential.

Strings 1 - nice usable, again lacking depth imo.

Sucker some nice sounds and a useful start if sound desigining using extended effects in the audio chain.

Hydi - Basic and nothing new, good effort.

TCM Ody- Nice sound and interesting concept to play with. Probably has some milage in use. Not one for me personally.

Im sure others will form their own opinions soon enough and I've only had a quick play with each so all initial first flash impressions from me.

Overall no submissions are unusable that I have come acroos, only a couple I would choose not to use.

Cant wait for the results :)

Time for a radiojunkits support thread then dude.
Same for clip shifter me thinks.

Hi :)
Many thanks for your nice words.
I know this one even more could get out.
But I simply lacked the time for more.
But I will certainly still develop him after the Challenge ....
If in December our baby is there, I certainly have more time :D

The LFO 1 is hostsynchron, by the way.
You can regulate the tempo in dependence
to the Hosttempo with the Divisor-button.
With the second LFO i wanted to swing a little more freely :D
Moreover, he has a nice S/H wave.

Furthermore a lot of pleasure :)

I don't see comments here about T-C-M so I think everything is fine.

Anyway, I'm so happy cause yesterday downloads ranks:

All Plug-ins downloads #9

Free Plug-ins downloads #8

Please report any bug in the Trans Computer Maschine topic so I can work on it as soon as possible.


Cheers,

WC

Radio Junk: In Mulab i got a different error. It's in swedish so ill just sum it up - "Couldn't start the program as ipps-7.0.dll is missing."

T-C-M: No bugs found here on my system :) I love the buttons to help dial in -12, 0, 12! This is a synth that requires some learning but initial impression is good :) I like wandering around in the dark.. you never know what you'll find! One of those things would be finding the "Seq Gate" under the envelope decay slider! :lol: The last few days i've been pondering on the idea of making music in 7/8 using step sequencers (the idea came from Letuzia (spelling?) in the LX2.. something thread) so this synth is a great gift. Thank you :D

Edit: Could you please explain how the oscillators work? There's arrows to four different waveforms ... is it all at once or can i pick one somehow?
:hug:

The smaller zip files are decompressing properly with the 7Zip software now and the audio files are playable in VLC player and should be loadable in sampler programs. My question now is about licensing. Are we free to use these audio files in our own compositions and make money from it? Is there a license text file included with the zip files somewhere?

Im still having fun there are some lovely plugins in herewell done to all, great submissions.

Post

I'd like to hear if anyone got VPPM to work (that vst plugin replacer). I've run it a couple of times and saved the FXB but all i get is a blocking of the audio path when i insert it in a track.
I open a plugin of choice (learned that a wobbly phaser wasn't the best idea when i read the manual so i switched to a compressor). But it would still pick the parametric eq as "base" .. if that is how it works.

I'd love a youtube video showing it off!
:hug:

Post

I think i found a bug with Flame.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c47h47sar8zn3 ... %20Bug.fxp <- in that patch Filter1 stops sending the signal (i think that's what happens).
Very fun plugin though!
:hug:

Post

I have a question : nobody thinks Inspiration is interesting, or you have tried it and you don't have anything to say about it ?

I have done the only submission which didn't generate any sound :lol:
