Cool!

I’m really looking forward to this new VST.

It’ll be an immediate purchase for me.

I’m a huge fan of ReFX products.

It’s really cool that they consistently deliver such exceptional products.

I hope we won’t have to wait too long before it’s available for purchase.

Mmh this could be the commercial version of the Rippler synth by Tiagolr. He said that he has made an agreement with a developer company. The modulation has the same design.

The controls are also the same: decay, release...

seems to be it, it looks very similiar, of course adjusted for the reFX version and it sounds very physical modelling.

This type of synth is my 2nd least favorite (West Coast being #1), however if it IS physical modeling then I'd be interested in seeing what REFX do with it. But I dont like Chromaphone, I don't like Objekt or Friktion. Logic's Sculpture is pretty awesome though. I hope this isn't 100% physical modeling and instead something multi-engine.

This is the commercial version of Rippler by Tiagolr. There are some changes: two extra wave folding oscillators, two filters ... but the structure are very similar especially the physical modeling parameters and layout

Sounds good but I'm not hearing anything that couldn't be done by Nexus 5 in that video.

yeah let's see, also no WOW so far, but it is just not much shown yet. Still, I think reFX wont just release something unspecial while having Nexus in the hood.

From the Rippler GitHub page:

This synth is being published with a company

That is right, sorry for publishing the documentation for freeware, it was picked up too soon.

This synth was meant to be commercial and by fortune I got to sign a contract after giving up on that goal.

Thanks all who participated on Beta process, archiving this repository.

Well the video is only 24 seconds but I assume the purpose of a teaser video is to get people excited for the new product. In that regards it was a failure here.

Sounds like it's not really a ReFx product but one from a contractor that will bear the ReFx logo. Not that it's a bad thing.

I'll keep my eye on the project since I am a fan of Nexus 5 and Vanguard but it's getting harder and harder to release something that really brings something new or something better to my collection.

fully with you at that! hope this will be something inspiring and kinda new'ish. dont need another Wavetable synth or something like that. i dont have much experience with physical modelling vsts, so maybe this might be something more interesting.

still have the Rippler alpha installed. It looks like a commercial version of Rippler.

Chromatic.

If this really is the commercial version of Rippler, then I’m happy for the developer. He created a whole pack of excellent free plugins that sound great. I hope he can make good money from his talent.
