Efx Fragments

I disagree with blatanville - To my taste the light green but not lime green UI is lovely - I prefer minimalist 2d UIs like this - so I use Valhalla stuff and a lot of Ableton's own FX -

I also disagree about unintuitive modulation - I found modulation pretty obvious - Actually all controls were pretty obvious.

I used a few tutorials bundled with the plugin at the very start and skim reading them was enough to set me in the right direction.

I never use presets, so I have (in the last 2 days) made about 20 presets that really work for my music. I got it for $49. I didn't have a granular FX of any note, so it filled a gap in my 'arsenal'.

I'm still previewing the demo, but I wanted to say:

It sounds great. There are plenty of ways to mangle your audio. It's relatively straight-forward to use.

HOWEVER, that interface is butt-ugly. It looks like an unrefined Synthedit plug from 2006.
Some of the design choices make usage opaque: the "assign" switch for mod sources is invisible until you hover (not always a bad thing, of course, but not intuitive here). Where are the great mod source assignments from Pigments? Or the matrix from Filter M12?
Arturia, please have a re-think about some of these choices. I love Arturia, and I'll probably buy it soon enough, but some improvements would be appreciated. ✌️
