ADAPTR Hype

[hey212]

While this is sold by PA and labelled as ADPTR I see it's actually an UrsaDSP product. Their Boost (sold by Devious Machines) seems to get much praise.

This is correct. Dave from Ursa did the dynamics DSP, but he's also responsible for what the they're calling "trajectory technology", which allows harmonics to be applied without affecting dynamics, and vice-versa. Interestingly, the ADPTR site says Jatin Chowdhury did the actual harmonics DSP, but this definitely seems to mostly be Dave's baby. As with Boost, this is not a unique category of processor, but it is extremely unique in its approach and result.

fuckin slaps, will definitely be buying on one of those unhinged PA sales

I was hoping this would similar to Mathew Lane's DrMS, but it's not sadly for me.

Very impressed after demo-ing a good hour!

Hey All,
Sorry that I missed this thread and thanks for your interest. To fill in some of the speculation, this is a joint effort. HYPE is there to fill a niche identified by ADPTR by pooling our strengths. In short, we're both enthusiastic about making new ways to solve problems rather than giving you more emulations of old hardware.

Based on user feedback we've just put out a new update (1.0.1) that fixes a couple of small issues but also addresses some user confusion by making some controls more visible on the UI.

We also have a roadmap of further updates coming. I recommend joining the ADPTR and UrsaDSP mailing lists and following our socials to keep up to date with these.

Thanks!
Dave@UrsaDSP

p.s. If you have any more feedback, please leave it here. We take it all on board.

Many thanks for pushing this update so quickly, Dave. Normally PA updates take months!!

Not too much hype about this one after all...

[Dr.Gunjah]

Doesn't help that they exclude the adptr plugins from most of their sales

[jens]

This one's too new for their sales anyway...

I love tools like this, seems almost like a cross between OTT & Supercharger. I dig the dynamics processing in SCULPT, so am excited to try it. However, it's hard to get hyped with pricing like this:

I guess I'll wait a while
