Best new experimental/creative/out-there/secret weapon effects?

[mholloway]

also curious about whats happening to 2CAudio?

Company is in disarray after the lead developer / programmer publicly stated (here, elsewhere, and even in emails sent out to all 2Caudio users) that Andrew, the business-side of the company, stopped paying him. To an outsider it doesn't look worth taking sides / digging deeper -- it's just clearly an absolute mess, with two individuals who worked together for years now apparently operating as Bitter Enemies. No idea what it all means for 2C as a business. It's certainly been very, very awkward for everybody, including users (getting 'hey, you should know I'm not getting paid' emails from a company I've purchased from is....pretty wack). Things got more awkward when said guy then tried to explain (very poorly, at that) why he couldn't take legal action. That was here, at KVR, but then the thread got locked...just as well.

Can you post a link to the thread? Sounds like a fun time ...

I haven't ever bought anything from 2CA so this passed me by totally. But Kaleidoscope always looked very interesting to me

Kind of like your weird obscure Pedals inside the Box. Really highly recommended; if you're into Ambient stuff, check his Site for a neat Bundle - Sale.

I’ve got a couple of their effects and they’re really interesting. Great value.

they have a lot of stuff to dig through! ill have at it. any favorites from their collection?

[El°HYM]

Having almost all of them, its really hard to tell. Normally I just went listening to the examples in the vids and then decided. The Ambient - Bundle is very good, if you are into such kind of sonic playgrounds.

thank you, great recommendations. I love databroth's channel, been following him since ovre a year. he's also in here and posts sometimes i think

paulstretch of course a classic. fors I also came across, nice affordable stuff. madrona i like Virta, im not much of a "synthesizer" person i guess, more like sampling

[Ploki]

i think the most "secret weapon" type of plugin i use is Peakbuster.
you can slap it on anything to make it pop just a little more. like using an expensive microphone preamp

If your system is compatible and you can manage the political pain and have no expectations of future development, 2C Audio's Kaleidoscope is pretty sweet. Coupled with Patchpool's libraries and there are some amazing possibilities with it.

Political pain? Is the plugin “woke?” Does it think Trump won the last election?

I think he means the major rift at 2C Audio.

I’m totally unaware. I really like B2, but that’s all I own from them. I tried Kaleidoscope and I was unable to get it to run well, even with my current machine, which is pretty great. I need something that can run in real time on a 128 sample size buffer.

Yeah, back when i demoed it it ate my machine. Had to freeze everything and even then it was barely workable. Cool idea, similar to Reaktor Prism which i really like.

Best place to find weird stuff is def the Reaktor UL if you have Reaktor. Max is also amazing, you don't need Ableton to use Max.
