You can perfectly modulate Kilohearts Fx in Snap Heap or Multipass, so no miss there.

True. I don't find working out of Snapheap as a standalone FX unit to be all that much fun, which is probably why I forgot about it.

I fixed this on GS, but forgot i posted it here too. All parameters on Blockchain are automatable and mappable for use in my midi controller. It just took a deeper dive because its modular implementation made the workings different.

I bought it. Sound quality next level compared to most.

Bought it, was hesitant at first because of the price like others (still think it's a bit high but meh oh well), but I'm really liking it. Idk if the Tape Drive "sounds" like real tape because I've never had the pleasure, but regardless it does wonders to everything I've thrown at it.

So far my favorite part is that even though the modules are all fairly simple, they sound great as compared to something else you'd find like this that has loads of options but just sounds "ok". And honestly the simpleness isn't a huge problem either because I get hung up on having too many knobs and buttons and never get anything done with more in-depth fully featured plugins. It's a win so far in my book

I caught a video review of this and the vlogger made a good point. Yes there are 87 FX modules, but there are like 15 reverb models that could just be options within a single reverb module. Same for Saturations, Delays, etc.

The constant swapping in and out of modules just to test a different reverb or saturation model would drive me crazy. And the whole system was designed so they can sell me more single purpose modules in the future? Pass.

Blockchain v1.2 just released with 16 new Fx algorithms, hundreds of new presets, and a new preset system. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but will later this evening.

If only they changed their licensing system. Calling home after each tiny system change is pretty bad practice, especially since nothing like that is mentioned on their website.

I've had to re-enter password several times already (thus also go online), as their plugins went back into demo mode for some reason. Only Roland Cloud is this bad.

Wow, Blockchain Ultra now comes with 103 different effect modules, zero latency, a Random Chain Builder, and surprisingly low cpu usage, even on an Intel iMac.

I’m impressed with the way that it sounds, and I really like the razor sharp UI design too. The new preset system will definitely be useful as well. So thanks for the groovy update Nuro Audio!

Oof, that's definitely a dealbreaker for me. I'm glad you commented about it here and saved me (and maybe others) time and money.
