RADIOCORE 4471 – new radio broadcast / voice FX VST (7-day demo)

[ExodeX]

Hi everyone,

I just finished a new VST called RADIOCORE 4471.

FACE A


FACE B


It’s a radio broadcast / voice FX plugin focused on:

signal distortion
transmission-style processing
broken radio / noise textures
experimental voice sound design

I built it mainly for creative sound design (vocals, FX chains, noisy / industrial textures).

The interface is intentionally designed with a degraded / distorted aesthetic to reflect the overall concept and sound design philosophy of the plugin, rather than a conventional UI approach. The focus is on character and experimentation, while still aiming to remain functional and usable.

Here’s a short demo:


There is also a 7-day demo version available on my site if anyone wants to try it in their own workflow:

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from other producers / sound designers:

does the concept make sense in your workflow?
what would you improve or change?
would you actually use something like this in your projects?

Thanks for taking the time to check it out

As I said at GS, this is pretty cool. I will probably pick it up at some point.

very interested, is there any online activation or something? phone home?

[pekbro]

Yea I dunno how it works, it automatically started timing the demo for me and presents an activate option.

Payhip payment processing, tho I didn’t buy it yet.

I don't dislike the general aethetic, but the knob positions are really hard to see, especially on Face B.

That is a graphical UI mess of highest (lowest?) caliber, which calms down directly any interest for me - and I do voice processings and voice sound design as part of my professional work for decades.

It’s a bit hard to read, but I don’t mind the look myself, as I’m a big fan of Fallout (the game). Which the style reminds me of. YMMV.

I love the basic sound character and the enormous variety of sounds one can get. Will keep testing just to make sure but initial impressions are this is the best signal degrading plugin I have tried

one caveat is the interface design - It is a nice artwork but far too busy for me and I imagine for anyone with vision problems. It ends up reducing speed. I would appreciate an additional simplified skin. Maybe just desaturate the backgrounds?
I do like the A/B panels, and an even bigger size would be handy as well for accessibility.

But the sound is fantastic and I think if you revised the look with usability uppermost for at least one skin you would have a real winner on your hands

This looks pretty cool, will try out the demo.

Definitely agree on the sound. It's really interesting. And the interface probably won't stop me buying, but it needs uniformity. The variety of typefaces and the letters out of alignment really don't work for efficiency. The rust could go too.

Also what are the messages flashing through the display on the front panel? Just random bits of text? I thought they were presets cycling through at first.

Any chance we might see a Linux build?

Any chance of adding a mix knob?

[pekbro]

While totally OT, there is a particularly excellent (Paid) alternative to a mix knob available here :

It's what I'm using and it's pretty damn handy, a must have utility imo. YMMV

*Not saying that there should not be a mix knob, I would say there should probably be one. It's just that these 2 plugins happen to work very well together I think.

Thanks a lot for the support

No online activation or anything like that, it’s a simple local install.

Just install and you’re good to go
