Looks nice, though I have a lot of these types of plugins. Are you planning on doing some A/B type audio demos? I think that would really help sell it.

I'd love to try this, but I'm having trouble finding a demo version. Is there one?

Cheers,
Eddie

Yes indeed. I'll add A/B comparison and more general demo in the following days.

Well thanks so

We were actually inspired by Moogerfooger pedals, but Satin is a really good looking plug-in.

So there is no demo? I am disappoint.

I read somewhere (GS?) that a demo will be made available later.

Demo will be available from the beginning of the next week. Thanks for your patience.

Correction: the demo will be available at the end of next week, with a limitation of 3 sec silence every 30 seconds. There was a bit of discussion about that even for VF-1, but I think it will be reasonable as limitation.

I have the ValveFilterCM from CM Magazine and I love it's sound for doing parallel distortion on vocals.

If I needed the enhanced functionality of the Valve Exciter, I'd definitely pick it up

Looking forward to trying it

Thanks for the kind words. Just a note, the Valve Exciter has a slightly different valve, a bit "smother", so you can actually have 2 different drive flavours.

It works both ways depending on which track you put it.
