Unify by PluginGuru; The next big thing?

[tony10000]

Is anyone able to list the included free VSTs...

For me I'd love to see some kind of multiband and m/s mixing options if they are easy to include in the regular version.

There is a list on the home page of the online manual: http://pluginguru.net/unify/manual, with links to the official pages for all the free ones. I haven't written the descriptions of the built-in ones yet (sorry--crazy busy as the response has been overwhelming), but they're coming.

Apologies if I missed it in a previous post,when does the intro pricing period end?
Thanks

Feb 15, 2020 is what I have seen.

Sounds pretty interesting from watching most of the user manual vids so far, even as a Patcher fan. Is anyone able to list the included free VSTs, share a screenshot, or if were they're in a livestream and there's a timestamped YouTube link please? (EDIT: just got to the end of video 4/5, these are coming in 5/5)

The free ones and the player version (if free) should have the potential to become extremely popular I'd think, been seeing many more producers now coming from countries where audio software must be very expensive due to global economic setups.

For me I'd love to see some kind of multiband and m/s mixing options if they are easy to include in the regular version.

I listed them in a post above...

Okay, i just read the part of the manual about plug-ins that don't work with Unify (yet).
When i see that list it seems there is a problem with iLok stuff (AIR, Softube, Falcon). Can anyone confirm this, specifically for Win7 ? Also i see that Sylenth1 doesn't work ? That would be a bummer...

The iLOK stuff works fine for me. Tested all my AIR plugins and Falcon. They are fine. I am on PC using Ableton and FLS. Maybe it is a Mac thing?

Users' experience with plug-ins seems to vary tremendously. Some are reporting that many are not working for them; others say they're using the very same plug-ins with no problems. It seems there are some differences among e.g. computer systems that we haven't yet figured out. It's frustrating of course, but we appreciate everyone's patience and feedback. As we gain experience, Unify will gradually get better and more compatible; we just can't predict an exact time line.

Sylenth works for me on Win10. For me the scanner was/is the issue for some plugins so I just dragged and dropped the dll plugin files into Unify. Problem solved.

Our plan is for Feb 15, but if it turns out to take us longer than expected to deal with certain major issues (like MacOS Catalina compatibility for example) we'll extend the intro period a bit. We want to be fair to everyone.

John and Shane are simply awesome. Many thanks and continued success with Unify!

Does anyone know what the license policy is, for example do they allow license transfers?
I can’t see it on there website.

PlugInGuru is still a small enough company that we don't have to have hard-and-fast policies. Contact Skippy directly (admin@pluginguru.com), let him know what's concerning you, and he'll work it out.

Thanks for your reply Shane. Looking forward to the Catalina version

Very excited about the potential of this plugin and happy early adopter.

Is there an option for LFO modulation of parameters? And is there a modulation
matrix? I cannot find either...

[cfanyc]

one more question if anyone knows: the ripchord plugin although designated
"internal" does not seem to be installed and points to the website where
one should get it? what is the deal?

Great! Thanks

One of my favorite effects, for virtually every patch, is to have the LFO fade in at a user definable point in time. Like, play a note (or chord) with no audible LFO, and then the LFO fades in after about 3 seconds and holds (with no touching of mod wheel). Is there a way to set this up in Unify? If so, how can I do this? Thanks!

Thanks for the user manual link and list, nice and detailed, I don't think I have any of those so it should be an interesting package.

Looks like plenty of users are getting involved already so hopefully a thriving preset creating community evolves, guess it will need some category filters to quickly see required VSTs like 'Free bundled', 'Free online' 'Free CM plugs'' 'Free DAW X edition' etc then using paid plugins searching on what we each own when being specific. For presets utilising plugins we don't yet own I guess we'll be able to swap in things we do own and play around more to explore - might need some preset MP3 examples to help us get closer to the originals. (IK recently replied to me when AmpliTube was giving me missing ownership popups - said if not owned it auto uses something close, not sure how feasible that kinda thing could be here).

Hope you can still offer up to 8 macros for the player version, like SynthMaster's I'm sure does to encourage users still to have some control, as chosen by preset creators. SM's online preset handling in it's CM version stood out as something pretty cool all from within it's browser, might be something that could be implemented here making sharing straightforward, should work as a marketplace for paid packs too.

Neither of these features are in Unify 1.0, but are on our to-do list!
