Why not just sell it at an intro price of 49€ instead of multiplying 10% coupons which everybody can get on different forums ?

Love it! Wish I had found a coupon. It could use a spread parameter for stereo verbs, but it's so easy to dial in and sounds great.

I'm impressed with RO-140 and I've been trialling the demo for several hours today (with breaks) against my other plate reverb plugins (namely Nebula TimPetherick VB Plate, Nebula VNXT 140 Plate, Vahalla Plate, Liquidsonics Reverberate 3 various plate presets, Liquidsonics Cinematic Rooms Pro bandpass plate preset with bandpass filters turned off, and PSP 2445 EMT).
RO-140 is a very original effect, and it's been very imaginatively designed, in that (to my ears at least) once the effect is engaged at around 20% wet, or wetter, and with the damper effect at setting 4 or higher, the sound of the metallic almost appears to dominate or draw attention to itself away from the original source (in my case I was using a drum kit recording).
It is almost like having a second metallic instrument attach itself to the audio.
Which isn't always desirable but it does offer a rather unique option for special fx, or to have something to make an audio track stand out in a way that most other effects don't achieve (imho).
Equally, and as others have stated previously, at wet/dry settings of about 20% or lower and with a low damper effect around 2 or 1, RO-140 really seems to wrap itself softly around the original audio source in a subtle reverb (albeit I would argue that it then sounds like a great quality reverb rather than a plate reverb, as at these subtle settings the 'plateness' of the reverb is no longer apparent imho).
So for a 3D plate reverb effect I prefer my Nebula libraries and Reverberate3 tbh.
But as something unique and great for special effects, I think that RO-140 really stands out. So I'll be buying for that reason, plus its ability at very subtle settings to cocoon the original audio in an extremely pleasing way to my ears.

@darkwater
Yes I agree I find the results similar though I’m still not convinced even when the damper is under 20%. RO-140 sounds completely different to any of the plate reverbs I’ve used. I’m hearing a slight ringing in the reverb tail that sounds a little undesirable.
I have several plate reverbs and my favourites are GoldPlate, Transatlantic Plate and Lustrious Plates.

What are the coupons and how do you multiply them?Endor-8o8 wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 6:30 pm Why not just sell it at an intro price of 49€ instead of multiplying 10% coupons which everybody can get on different forums ?
It only seems to allow one coupon.
