Refire

This plugin is pretty much perfect to me. and works exceptionally well with minimal CPU usage on my CPU and I have a dinosaur of computer! I didn't give it 5 stars for two reasons:

1)There is a bug in this one and the other plugins by Outobugi that have a color adjustment bar where saving presets in Reaper doesn't act right. Color schemes do not save correctly and this affects other instances of the plugin on other tracks...

2) No auto gain correction. If this gets AGC added it over!.

I can honestly say I love these plugs but it would be nice to get some basics colors (blue, red, green, yellow) and less on the pastels but they'll still be replacing some of my paid ones.

Super neat drum effect. The names on the individual modulations maybe don't quite match the effect, but this plugin allows for infinite ways to bring your drum track to life. This especially applies to synth based drum sounds. Just a couple of presets included, but because there are such a variety of drum sounds available, it is a simple matter to come up with your own modulations. It is particularly useful in the punch category making any individual sound stand out.

Not useful if you are trying to emulate a real acoustic sound. The artificial overwhelms.

Refire is a very nice, albeit basic way to enhance digital drums and percussive sounds. Each of the five modules are useful if you just want to quickly dial in some basic settings, such as transient shaping, saturation, additional presence and clipping. My only minor gripe is the pitch knob for the sub module going from 0 to 12 in 0.1 intervals, rather than KNOCK's more familiar keys and accurate fine tune. It'd be a nice option to change that, albeit I'm not a developer so I don't know how hard that'd be to implement.

EDIT (12th July 2024): The sub module now has both editable frequency and key values, so the only problem I had was fixed.
