Oh FFS. Will this company please stop bringing out instruments at such ridiculous prices. I don't care how good it is; at $13 what's not to like

It's great, but tiny GUI. I can't find a way how to make it bigger...

When I see a name that includes 'productions', I am already very suspicious. There is something cheap about it.
In the singular it even sounds odd to me, as if they were producing W.A. Like in wine or corn production

Their plugins seem to be made by this guy:

Very underwhelming to be honest. Ye, I know, it is cheap, but it does indeed feel cheap and dated. It looks dated, too and so far it does nothing the trillions of the other plugins in my box can't. It's not even enticing to feed it to the GAS for an afternoon of fun.

I don't think it sounds or looks bad, but WA presentations always look so cheap. Besides, there's plenty of competition (Union and Cheeze Pro comes imediately to mind) nowadays

Wait a minute. It's a rompler?.. I'm confused

No, it just has a Sampler Osc.

Well I have to give them credit for coming up with the most descriptive name for a plugin. It is indeed "Imperfect".

"Let's code a freeware level plugin, put a silly list price on it then offer it for $14". It's not really a bad scheme since I'm sure some will fall for it.

Normally I'm a fan of these low price plugins since they can be good for a bit of fun but this time they came up with an absolute zero.

Small GUI that maddeningly changes color depending the the settings and can't be resized (at least I don't see a way). Dead common sound and that's being generous. Feature poor....strike three.

This was a complete waste of demo time and bandwidth

So to me it's a "3-D" plugin. Download, Demo, and Delete.....

The GUI doesn't resize? Wow, a really archaic take on the matter then (I didn't demo, only watched their video)

You're right. I just routed an LFO to "Wacky" and the GUI flashed like it could actually trigger a seizure, all joking aside.......

I can't find a way to resize. Right click doesn't reveal anything and poking all around the GUI I can't find an option. There is no drag handle. If it can be resized they sure didn't make it obvious.

Wow, WA Productions really struck out this time (in my opinion of course). Weak sounds, poor GUI, and a limited feature set compared to other synths available.
