Product Reviews by KVR Members

Being a guitar player before getting into more of the production side, I've always been enchanted with the sound of Strymon's different reverbs/delays/effects. El Cap was my first Strymon pedal and so it holds a special place in my heart. The plugin certainly does not disappoint and I would say is a very faithful and accurate recreation of the hardware unit. I've always been curious about DIG but have never had the chance to use it. That being said, it was an incredibly pleasant surprise. It definitely gives you that classic modulated delay sound from the 80s and is actually quite versatile. Combining it with El Cap sounds like an absolute dream. The bundle is definitely the way to go as each one separately is $79 and the bundle being $99.

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.

Charlatan 3 is AWESOME. it's my go-to synth for core tones.

Clean easy to use modulation, mseg's, AMAZING PERFORMANCE. most synthesizers have half the flexibility, half the usability, and quadruple the processing cost.

Important wish list:

• alt-drag curve modifier for segments in drawable waves. I'm sure limiting drawn waves to linear segments makes processing fm/pm easier- but it's one of two reasons I reach for anything else.
  • also could be partially implemented in with a corner smoothing/damping value.
• per-oscillator pitch modulation, (rather than all oscillators with toggled effect) Some of my sound design (for menu blips, risers, etc) requires multiple oscillators moving in different directions with pitch. multiple instances gets close, doesn't allow multi-pitch-env FM.

extra awesomeness wishes::

• "filter fm" where osc1 or 2 modulates the cutoff at audio rates. (would have high performance requirements when enabled, but starting with such a performant base makes this very desirable.).
• some way to auto-tune pitch modulating xLFO to major/minor keys.

Much thanks for your work on this synth.

This plugin is, in my honest opinion, one of the best free stereo imager you can get. It creates no phase issues, is simple, fast, and versatile, and also has an incredibly good looking UI, like all plugins by this developer.

Quite possibly one of my most used effect plugins. It is extremely simple and because of that, it makes creating modulation effects really easy. It features a very simple set of controls for panning and volume modulation, and can be right clicked to create automation clips directly in FL Studio, which I very much so appreciate.

This plugin was very useful to me for various types of audio tests. I really hope it gets some Apple Silicon tender-loving care, which is to say a new lease on life.

This plugin is a must if you're processing vocals or other acoustic instruments.
It just sounds right and sits perfectly in the mix.

I've used it for some time, but font rendering makes it hard to operate on my laptop. Sound was good, maybe sometimes little "squashed" but generally ok.

Now I replaced it with https://www.kvraudio.com/product/arppe2600va_by_voltkitchen and https://www.kvraudio.com/product/vital-by-matt-tytel.

It is so perfect I can't express all of my joy using it.

It has smoothest UI, many built-in effects, native Linux support, amazing morphing controls, sleek modulation representation and it's free.

Definitely, my go-to synth.
