Great review

The audio demo was a bit painful for my sore ears though

No critique on genre or artistic effort..! it's just those frequencies, the transients and rate of them that hurt ^_^

The lack of send knob for the delay - is that an issue when there's a mix knob?

Thanks for the feedback!

Lack of a send knob IS a setback if you want to "drop in" an echoed portion of audio, and then have the delay's tail audible while shutting off the feed to the echo. Using the mix parameter shuts off the tail as well as the generation of new echoes. Think dub style echoes on selected parts of a track.

Luckily, as mentioned in the review, you can get around it in Tantra with the buss system. But in some other plugins this is overlooked.

I reviewed Nuklear and RAMSES on the site as well, with more reviews coming soon.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the demo is a bit bright, though I hadn't noticed it so thanks for pointing it out. I wanted it to be just a kind of "live spontaneous use" demo of Tantra, and I used Egoist to make the noise for Tantra to mangle, so there wasn't any room for mixing or treating the sound beyond that. BUT, I missed a trick, since Tantra has an excellent output EQ on board. Something to think about next time.

Thanks Sendy for the excellent review

I'll think on what can be done for the delay's send knob, thanks for pointing it!

Good point! Very useful considering the sequencers, if you only want delay on certain hits in a beat for instance

Am I the only one who was surprised to find that Sendy wasn't a male?

Gotta say this is one of the nicest looking plugins I've seen ever. It makes me think I'm looking at real hardware. Every function just pops out and is easy to see. The knobs look like rubber hardware knobs. Really dig that. Looks very 3D and classy.

Yep, it's just a serial that you copy in a dialog window in Tantra, and you're done!

Tantra v1.1 released, sales
