Hmm, seems like its preferable for me to do the 3-product upgrade to the bundle and get PatchWork as well.

This looks like a wise decision

Ah, Ive misunderstood. I own three products, including but only two from the bundle. doh

Will you guys please add modulation sources at least for the native effects. It would make the effect exponentially more powerful. I have late replies and always wish i had some lfos and envelope followers. Otherwise this thing looks gangbusters!

Can't promise anything here, but that's indeed been in our mind for a while. You could already do this using MIDI CC LFOs, but it's not as convenient.

Have the emails been sent? I check the Inbox and spam folders carefully, and I haven't gotten it yet.

A well-intentioned question: I am pleased to own Patchwork, Destructor, and Late Replies, AND I do not play guitar. Is there any motive for me to get Axiom? (I think it is a great product for guitar players!)

Axiom owner chiming in.

I'm sure Blue Cat is more than happy to take your money for GAS, but keep this in mind: Almost every single preset in Axiom are categorized with "guitar" or "bass" in the names. The desktop icon for the standalone app is shaped like a guitar pick ... so I think you get the drift.

However, there is one section of presets called "Shimmer." I wonder what would happen if I used them on a synth ...

Well dang it all, been salivating since announcement and it seems I missed out too. I'm subscribed and have checked spam. Seems a BCA issue. Email sent begging for reply.

It will work with other types of instruments too, just like when using guitar gear with synths (and you can also load a virtual synth in the first slot and then process it).

However if you already have Patchwork, Destructor and Late Replies, you already have a couple of useful tools

.

You may want to try the demo and check if the specific workflow and the new effects in Axiom work better for what you do. It is really a different way of working, and the integrated distortion/amp sim makes things much more convenient than PatchWork + Destructor for guitars.

(As a side note, the new reverb, harmonizer and Wah effects will be included in Patchwork and Late Replies in the next update).
