A freebie from UA? Very cool! Unexpected but welcome. I stopped buying UA plugs after SpecOps but I just might have to check out Battalion. Well played, Unfiltered Audio!

Seems really cool, and I can say it also loads pretty fast on my Linux/Wine system. I heard they're also working on Native Linux versions, would be quite cool since I also happen to have a Triad license

And... a little bit of FR... it would be great to have a real ping pong, the current one is quite subtle...

Don't like the name. Don't like the protection scheme, but I really like the audio effects Unfiltered Audio is creating. Looking forward to give this a spin.

After playing with this awhile my only complaint is the reverb tail seems a little fractured and I think it's from the delay's granular thing. Anyone else hear this? Also be sure and fiddle with that Max button (or whatever it's called)

I mentioned Linux versions on UAs FB and they responded "Stay tuned!" so...

Linux support would be great but they need a friendlier protection mechanism for me to bite. Fully offline activation is a must. Their PA-powered plugins can do this if you use a USB stick as a dongle.

Linux beta is now up: https://www.unfilteredaudio.com/blogs/n ... her-week-3

The plugin does have offline activation. Let me know if it's not working for you.

Thanks for the Linux beta. I checked it in Ardour and Bespoke Synth (on debian sid) and it seems to work fine. Just in demo mode, I didn't go through with the activation.

On that front, the issue as far as I can see is that it's not fully offline. The response file has to be generated by the server and is presumably machine-locked (I haven't followed through on it but it's a safe assumption based on the mechanism).

If anything happens down the line and that server is no longer available, activating to a new computer is not possible. That's what I mean by "fully offline" activation. For reference, there's a thread here discussing this and listing developers with customer-friendly protection (or none at all).

My computers are always online, the offline requirement is simply to ensure I don't lose access to any more plugins down the line when activation servers are taken offline. Native Instruments, Focusrite and Novation have killed off activation servers taking away plugins with them.
