You have to get them.

You know you do. You can feel it.

Both.

Depends on the music you make. They’re clearly targeted for some genres more than others.

I’ve never needed support from them - the plugins just work (Windows).

Gimmick IMO.

Their website allows you to 'Steal' the plugins (download an unlimited demo) before you part with any cash if you are on the fence.

I really like them, but they add a ton of latency, so they’re not good for real time jamming.

They're gimmicky but there's something there too. I'm a fan of Mishby in particular.

It really depends on your workflow. Their vst are very unpredictable, so you can create some crazy and fascinating sounds with it, but on the other hand, you may feel a lack of control on what you do.

I use a lot Dumpster Fire for weird trap hats, and Backmask et Pocket Dimension for soundscapes and loop variations. In fact the sound is very good and sit quite nicely in my mixes.

Thx a lot guys!!!
There is a bundle sale on adsr right now.

Is there a difference between the purchased versions and steal ones?

No difference. I've stolen one or two in the past and then later paid them for them.

thats really an interesting marketing from them, i hope they dont install some bad vibes by their crazy looks and sinister controls ;). copy protection is just serial key afaik?

Dont be fooled by their esoteric user interfaces, its all high quality DSP. I bought all their products, and when I contacted them regarding issues with Pocket Dimension (which is an awesome granular processor), I got top notch support. Cant wait for their next plugin Dicksmasher > weaponized distortion, insta buy for me for sure :phones:

I like them, personally. The funky workflow helps inspire ideas I normally wouldn't have thought of, and the sound quality is actually quite good.

Thanks for reminding me, love their aesthetic, reminds me of the Church of the Subgenus mixed with HP Lovecraft. I think I'm going to go for that ADSR sale.

Their latest plugin was a fail IMO, but I love the others.
