Noise Engineering free and paid bundles - AAX, AU, VST3

[briefcasemanx]

Good idea - I suggested scalable bundles - the more you add the more you save

Scalable bundles have caused me to spend way, way more than I wanted to on several occasions. Like I came to buy 1 plugin and ended up with 6 type of thing. I'm like "I could buy these 5 other plugins later at an increased price, or I could just bite the bullet and get them now and get a large discount since I'm probably gonna want to buy them anyway."

Goodhertz and TAL decided to take all my money with their scalable bundles. I don't understand why more companies don't do this.

Thanks to a post about them elsewhere that I responded to, I started writing up a little bit about the plugins and then it turned into a whole... thing.

Noise Engineering Plugin Tips

Wound up teaching myself some new stuff and remembering a lot of tricks I'd already discovered and then kind of forgotten about. Hopefully having put that much effort into a post, I won't forget as easily again

man i look into kvr first time since a while and find something actually useful. i completely missed their plugin release. i thought a bit about the price. i would like loyality discounts too, i think the only other company that is completely without discounts is valhalla. and these have the same price. so i think if they do no sales and if you find their plugins useful, 50 a pop is not bad.

at this point i used basimilus iteritas on almost every track i made since i bought it. i used sinc veror sometimes and the desmodus/ruina only occasionally. i think if id buy again i only go for BI, even tho the other 2 are definitely fun too. i think everyone should buy bi tho, its definitely worth it.

from the new ones i think the complex oscillator is the most interesting, not sure i need another tap delay, especially one for 50 bucks.

and also about the interfaces, i think i stated taht before but i do like them and even if you dont they are at least pretty functional. kinda atypical how the modulators are handled but it works out well enough once you wrapped your head around it.

I've got the free bundle and quite like these plugins. Definitely keen to try a track with them and maybe Generate too as they're all totally different to my other virtual instruments. Tempted by bundle one too but might wait and see if the pound recovers a bit... Quite like the basic looking GUIs as I can tell at a glance what's going on. Nice change to the usual skeuomorphic thing.

i looked at the tap delay and its actually more like a grain delay type of deal where you have control over the flow of grains, or maybe its just a tap delay where you have morphing and extensive control on the tap rhythm. its pretty great actually. but i really dont want to own another delay .

[foosnark]

They do have a granular delay, Melotus, which is one of my favorite firmwares for their Versio platform and I'm guessing it will become a plugin someday too. Instead of the usual "one buffer, multiple overlapping play heads" thing it feels to me like multiple separate delay lines that it crossfades between on a rotating basis. I've never been 100% sure though.

Got a 15% BF discount subscribing to their newsletter, don’t know if this is something you’d get as a new subscriber though.

[aMUSEd]

Is that on top of the existing 15% BF offer? I'm sure I subscribed but never got that newsletter

[shonky]

Think it might be the same, should get it if registered

[WasteLand]

i didn't also get the newsletter, it is not a great offer this BF, while Rack Extension versions are a great offer.
i already own all the old ánd new RE (Reason..), in sale of course, and nice upgrade path, to the new versions (and i like that i still have the old versions, although the new versions...)

but i thought the prices were the same for VST3 etc and RE's.... also in sale...

so for Reason owners, especially if you also have RRP...., the RE's are a better choice... (are they? in my opinion certainly, with the players, etc. well personal.). better choice, in pricing now.

[aMUSEd]

I prefer the VST3 versions as I can create control maps for them more easily in Komplete Kontrol

Sweet, thanks!

Cursus Vereor is proving to be an absolute joy to create patches for - you can ignore the built in presets and just create endless moving and morphing timbres using the wave folding etc controls and modulators - it is so versatile you can use it for pads, physically modelled sounds, drones and even basses. I have already made over 70 presets of my own - thought I would share them - all benefit from a reverb in the chain (I was using Tai Chi Lite) just to provide some additional space/gloss.

Hmm, I may have to jump back in to Cursus Vereor. I've felt like it was my least favorite of them and I kinda miss the Cursus Iteritas Eurorack module.

I've made patches for all the synths now:

Also NKS versions are in the works for all synths and effects
