I have the very rare arcDev’s H4xx0r 1.4 version (with auto slicing to 4/8/16 beats), if anyone is interested I can upload it next week.


Anyone willing to upload it once more? Link is dead (understandably after half a year 😊). Regards, Slug

In my dropbox it tells me that "People with this link can view" + "allow downloads on dropbox.com"
enabled, so I'm not sure what is the problem.

But I see that in your quote of me. you only wrote half of the link. that's the correct one:
H4xx0r 1.4.2

Does it works now?

Thanks for the quick reply, I left the link out deliberately to save people wasting time on links that may not work in future.
Anyway, they both work now, cheers.

Cool

Does anyone happen to have this old rompler Houston, inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre? If so please be so kind as to post :D I don't remember ever having seen it before I stumbled upon it after watching some vst videos a few days ago.

The developer page, Platinum Sound, was archived but I can't get the page to load, and VSTPlanet, where Houston was also archived won't load either.

On this page mediafire link works, can guarantee what's inside, hopefully nothing sketchy:

It seems a Maize sampler creation. Pretty easy to replicate with any sampler and the samples.

Thanks so much for posting it! Seems like clean file so I hope to start with it tonight.

Thanks! Good to know for the future, but I don't have the samples although I know I could probably find some of them. Also don't want to spend $89 on an unfamiliar sampler just to create a pack, despite how easy it may appear to do.

Been playing with Green Oak Crystal today. Found some presets particularly from Tim Conrady. Excellent sound and modulation. Way ahead of its time.

Is this also a 64bit VST? I remember having this a long time back when I had Win7 32 bit. Great synth.
Tracktion Waveform 13
