He has a new chorus plugin with a YouTube video as of May 4th, 2026. So, some sign of life. Just not here.
If every KVR member wrote one review a year we'd have 1340 reviews each day!

Lol, and for some reason he's taken the chorus plugin down, it's no longer available for sale.Hewitt Huntwork wrote: Wed May 06, 2026 9:41 pm He has a new chorus plugin with a YouTube video as of May 4th, 2026. So, some sign of life. Just not here.
I like this person's plugins, but it would be nice to have more communication. Maybe their intent is to create an aura of mystery?
A well-behaved signature.

A smart dev wont interact with customers in public forums especially on here. sometimes it goes ok, often it doesnt. best for devs to stay away and use email channels with customers.

Any new dev who says they're "Happy to answer any questions about the DSP or design" should interact with customers in a public forum, until they're given a reason not to. If you stand behind your product, it's important to let potential customers know, especially since no one else has any history with you to vouch for you.
The GUI looks interesting, but the buttons for the tape speeds are labeled incorrectly—the speeds should be 1.875 (1 7/8) or 3.75 (3 3/4). The buttons are labeled 1 1/g(? It doesn't really look like an 8, but that wouldn't really help much, anyway.) and 3 1/4. The list of features to the right has the correct speeds.
None of the "faders"/sliders seem to have numbers, and the one on the bottom-left shows the handle in two places at the same time. And neither of the sliders has a label. Are those sliders for the Tone and Width that are mentioned in the list of features?
A few GUI issues to iron out, but this could be interesting. But without any response from the dev after almost a month....

I take your point - and certainly a thread has the potential to descend into (often petty) arguments or get side-tracked by some relatively minor aspect at the expense of the overall thread.plexuss wrote: Fri May 08, 2026 1:57 am A smart dev wont interact with customers in public forums especially on here. sometimes it goes ok, often it doesnt. best for devs to stay away and use email channels with customers.
However, on the balance of play, I think there is still much more to be gained when a developer interacts with interested (potential) customers on websites such as this.
Also, mods and other thread members are always able to draw attention to other members who are 'out of order'.
Many developers have built up excellent reputations here and on other music forums due to their regular / occasional interaction with forum members, which perhaps helps with sales etc.
(I'm sure that you and I can name a few such developers with excellent forum reputations).
Cheers.

There are a couple of those with threads on gearspace right now, maybe you're thinking of them? Gulf Coast Synthesis Model 8 and EMR Music Group TAPE 16.legendCNCD wrote: Sun May 10, 2026 10:39 am I was thinking if this was a DAW... like Tape 16 but 4 track.
