WHY just another Delay/Reverb plugin...you could think.
But give it a try, you can achieve complex and unique results very quick with just one plugin.
Like the most 2getheraudio plugins it has a very nice GUI and a well thought out workflow.
Also check out their other plugins, like RE4ORM, RE4ORM FX (one of my favorite fx plugins ever) G8ATOR
or the legendary free Cheeze Machine!

Nice idea and well done, sounds as funny as the real thing...I like it.
But why is the GUI that huge?
When I was a beginner in making music I've tested many DAWs but most of them seemed to be very complicated at the first look. Not Mulab, it was the only DAW that let me start making music without looking into the documentation. The workflow is fantastic, the interface is stunning simple. So I made my choice for Mulab. I thought that until I would become a more advanced user and recognize limitations in comparison with other DAWs I could change to an other DAW. Years gone by and I've never changed because there are no limitations. Mulab is simply great, all you need is onboard and if not, create it in MUX! The installation is super easy and it hosts 99% of all VSTs without any problem. It is fast and sounds remarkable good. The only advantage I see for the competitors is the lack of tutorials about Mulab...but who needs tutorials if a software is so easy to use? :-).
Another great synth by Fullbucket. Sounds good and looks good. And don't forget, it's made in C++.
I wish the gui's of the FB synths were scalable but that is the only point I would change.
Addendum: Found out the gui IS scalable, my fault! :-).

I think many creative people like painters or writers would like to have a tool like MIDI Madness for their profession.
But only musicians and producers get the fun. :-) MIDI Madness is easy to understand and after you've got the hang of it you are able to use it to create basslines, melodies, chords and even drum patterns.
Make 4 Tracks, drums, bass, pad and lead, load an instance of MIDI Madness for each track, tweak, use the random features and in the end you will get, for example, a nice ambient sounding endless song...without recording or setting a single note in the piano-roll. :-).
It's fun.

If inspiration lacks these tools will help. And if you know what you want to do it will at least accelerate your workflow.
Captain Chords is the heart of it, it must be set to use Captain Deep and Captain Melody. The amount of available chord progressions is huge and the possibilities to edit them too. Just choose your favorites and drag them into your DAW.
Captain Melody will generate a melody along these chord progression. If you change the chords, the melody will follow. It makes sense to break deep into Captain Melody if you want really satisfying results for your melody.
Captain Deep is a simple tool, delivering basic bass lines for electronic music production, not more. If you want to create a jazzy bassline for example, Captain Deep will not make you happy. In my opinion it is the boring relative of the other plugins. Therefore I will not invite him very often to jam with the other family members.
In this family Captain Beat ist the party animal. It offers a lot of kits and pattern presets but what I like best is to assemble my own. For example: You can click through the available samples and patterns for the kickdrum, you can change velocity, add filter, delay or reverb or even load your own sample. Great! Captain Beat works without Captain Chords so you can use it whenever you want to.
My conclusion: The price for the bundle is appropriate even if you should use only Captain Chords and Captain Beat.
