Here's a preview of the next AD product, the Ronin modular filter/delay for VST. We've just finished the major coding on this and are about to go to beta testing. Here are some of the main features:

1) Fully modular. Two separate matrices for routing audio and control signals.

2) "Analog" style delays; the delayed signal pitch-shifts when the time is changed, for true chorus and flanging effects, and other "tape delay" style effects. Delays are a maximum of 12 seconds, and feature looping, tempo sync, and reverse.

3) Envelope follower with adjustable sensitivity, attack and release times as control source.

4) MIDI note, gate, and CC#1 (mod wheel) as control sources.

5) Full MIDI learn mode on all controls, per program. (Except the matrices, of course.)

6) LFOs have shape control which works on all waveforms. For example, the sawtooth wave is ramp down at the full off position of the knob. At 12 o'clock, it is a triangle wave, and at full on it is a ramp up. LFO rate can be modded by itself, for really strange shapes. LFOs are also tempo-syncable, with a measure reset switch.

7) Multi-mode filters, and the mode is continuous from notch to high pass.

8) Kill switch on input for "dub" style gated delays.

9) All switches and mod routings are ramped, so you can reroute in real time with no clicks.

10) Two tube-style saturation stages.

So, those are the highlights. This will be US$69.00, and will be available for VST OSX and Windows to start with. I can't give a firm release date until we see how beta testing is going, but it will be Real Soon Now, within the next few weeks, hopefully. Comments and criticism appreciated!

The forum seems to be cutting part of the image off in my browser. If you can't see the whole thing, here's a link to the image:

Hey Chris,

It's not cutting it off, Ben has images formatted that way; see the slider at the bottom of the pic?

Anyways, looks awesome! Lemme know if you need me to test; I have several hosts I can run this through for you.

Wow... I'm looking VERY forward to it :o

Ah. I'm looking at it in Firefox on a Mac, so naturally it's a big rolling disaster. I don't see the little bar at the bottom of the image. I checked it in Safari and it is fine, though.

As for beta testers, we're all good on that score, currently. They seem to be the one thing you're never short of when you have a software company!

Note that we will have a full demo of this when it goes live. The usual dropouts every few seconds or some such. But it will be uncrippled otherwise.

Hi Chris,

That looks very nice indeed. Very nice touch including LFOs modulating LFOs option. Something so often forgotten in plugins. Look forward to this one.

Cheers,
Steve
