I'll pay for an upgrade if they ever add oversampling

Post

Can anybody comment on whether the resizable gui graphics are worth looking into this minimal upgrade? Is it a high definition gui or is it just bigger pixels and blurry?

I already commented on that with images a couple pages back.

I wondered that this morning as well, but I have just downloaded the v5.5.2 versions of the plugins from my account and installed them. Didn't have to do an upgrade or part with any money..

Thanks, sorry I missed it.

The upgrade for me was $49. I got to the page where it said 'pending' & waited for ages for something ti happen. When it didn't I went to my products page & refreshed, then the new version appeared, free of charge!

Ignore that. It's only Space Bender that has appeared. My bundle still says 'pending'.

I will say: I AM ENJOYING FILTERFREAK AGAIN! :love:

ONe thing I miss is not having the LFO being able to sync to not values. "Ah, you have the rhythm one for that!" I hear you say.... yea, BUT: it does not offer the ability to rotate a knob to adjust its speed like you do with the LFO. Would be very handy and welcome to have that done by note divisions.

Did you try going into 'My Products' and clicking the Refresh/Sync button? That brought it down to 19 for me.
That worked for me - thanks
Thanks so much it worked

It’s 2025... and their plugins still don’t support high resolution :dog:

Little Radiator indeed looks a bit blurry here too, but this seems like a bug/oversight.

Some other plugins I checked looked quite good even at 200% scaling (eg. Filterfreak, Echoboy, Little Alterboy, Little Plate)
But Little Microshift and Little Primaltap look more blurry too.
I guess they will follow, but my main hopes were for Echoboy, Filtefreak.
On the big PrimalTap It looks a bit like they used some kind of AI upscaling on the old plugin.
Still better than before, but they need to work a bit on this.

The meter in Decapitator is very blurry but in the whole there is a big improvement- personally I don’t need these over 125% anyway

Clearly the older ones need a complete GUI refresh but I guess that might be something to expect for v6

Had all stuff (incl Superplate), 19$ here.
But yes having both reverbs stuff in rack finally, seems worthly.

Upd
However, judging by changelog there is still no automation for advanced parameters (in ff etc), old request. Sad a bit

Sexy?! What’s with that ugly greyish shadow under every button? Looks really awkward.

After a closer look, that shadow looks like a Photoshop layer effect with the wrong blending mode, possibly something like "Multiply" or even "Normal" with low opacity, instead of a more subtle approach like "Overlay" or custom ambient shading.
It doesn’t interact naturally with the background. No diffusion, no gradient falloff, just a harsh blob. Doesn’t look intentional, more like a rushed export.

I went back and looked at all of the ones I own. Yes, PhaseMistress and Little Plate look OK. They're still a little blurry at 200%, but they look fine at a more reasonable size.

Little Radiator and PrimalTap are both atrocious though, and unfortunately PrimalTap is the one I paid for and really the only one I use. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense why some would get updated hi-res graphics and some would not. Did they jump the gun on releasing 5.5?
