Excellent sounding & very dope plugin. The plugin developer is also IN how he schemed up the simplicity that yields such an HQ sound from such a small foot printed plugin..

I got my copy license for the low low low low low low LOW price of $9.99. And I also got another plugin with my purchase additionally on (Plugin Alliance) which was the BX BOOM kick enhancer plugin that I did NOT need bkz I have better Kick sound designing plugins namely on that comes to mind is BOZ DIGITALS which Is a beast of on Kick drums and very versatile, flexible etc.

I had seen SKY KEYS last year some time and kind of brushed it of as yet another "CHEAP" offering with MID range tier like sound quality. But to my surprise recently looking a bit deeper into Sky Keys I was able to see the VALUE in such a versatile plugin that's PERFECT for the genre's I love producing most which is Trap, Pop, Hip Hop, and namely TRAP SOUL R & B which is what REALLY sold me on it bkz I'm always looking for GREAT sounding TRAP & B sounding style plugins bkz they are ironically some what rare to find in one plugin that sounds great but doesn't break the Bank. Even had I paid FULL SALE price which is currently $39 dollars if I'm not mistaken.

This plugin Is also solid for ETHREAL & AMBEINT produced tracks. It's a SOUND DESING tool more so than anything else with the additional SAMPLER DRAG and DROP your own samples into the plugin which is always a welcomed edition bkz at that point If you have a nice SAMPLE LIBRARY of namely ONESHOTS then you can essentially design and make ur OWN brand new sounds via the plugins design features which I do feel could have be MORE of like CHORUS, FLANGER, PHAZER, 2LFO's etc built inside the plugin.

But it IS a GREAT BUY and a extremely USUABLE plugin for we PRO's and the rookie novice's finding their way lol. It's SIMPLE enough for beginners in short, but advanced enough at the same time to meet production expectations.. I just bought it 2 days ago and have already used It in 1 or 2 beat's, productions etc already ahah. SO that told me right then that this one was a WINNER!.

The Dev also SAMPLED from and got the plugins sound from some of the most classik>>DOPE HARDWARE SYNTHS like the PROPHET and a TON of other Synths I can't even go thru to list and name bkz there where so many lol.

2400 samples from maybe 30 to 50 different HIGH END legendary Synths.. So If ur DEBATING is it WORTH buying the answer is YES resoundingly lol. Your hard earned money will NOT be wasted and end up in the (PLUGIN CEMETARY) on ur SSD with this little guy bkz he's a STAR in the making ahah.. 55 no doubt bkz the USABILITY is crazy good. Has a LOT of sneaky SD features hidden to lol.

Had to come support the young Developer bkz he's very talented and did a GREAT JOB for his first VSTi plugin effort and deserves more SPIN in the market in regards to SALES bkz there's a TON of KRAP out there you could, can buy etc but they simply just will NOT give you the performance usability as this plugin very much does and that is KEY for any purchase or it should be, I know it is for me bkz why buy a plugin I'm not getting good MILEAGE out off just bkz It COSTED more?? No thanks. I don't go by prices, I go by QUALITY of what my EARS and INSTINCTS tell me. And my Instincts kept telling me to buy THIS plugin bkz I kind of felt it would offer MORE than meet the eye. Hadn't' heard ANY BAD reviews all GOOD which IS always a great and welcomed signed with ANY new plugin, and or plugin dev.

This young man is AHEAD of his peers and I'll be looking to buy MORE of his plugins bkz If he made THIS little plugin be as good and profoundly useful as he has, I can imagine what he could do with bigGER BUDGET ahah, he's going to to making some SUPER VSTi's plugins soon as I believe this is his only offering at this point bkz he's a newbie dev lol.

But yawl GOTTA COPP THIS plugin that comes with 230 PRESETS for you NOIN sound designers who just want INSTANT sounds. Me myself I like to design my OWN UNIQUE sounds so I know that no one else has what I have in my Beat's aha!.

Nice little LoFi VstI. Nothing mind blowing in terms of general perception. But It does have, & hold a very unique, distinct flavor, vibe, sound, tone etc as for how the samples were recorded that Is more useful, applicable, & practical than what appears to be at first interpretation. But you will find It's very handy, useful at "Gluing" particular styles of music together and adding a "Rustic" old school feel, but with a modern flair to a degree, & works best namely with Lofi, Trap, Boom Bap, Hip Hop, Drill type of musical style, but I'm sure If creative processing Is Introduced to the basic sounds much more can be possible, & or achieved. Which Is a good point In summary because the VST does lack In EFX/Modulation type feature's which makes It very basic In onset appeal If you will.

Side Note: In application It Is highly useful on "Chorus" sections of a production arrangement, beat, song etc. As well, It can be applied as a main "Under tone" played beneath a "Verse" section as the base melody of the over all melody without having the whole arrangement playing In context of the hook, Chorus sections. It also can be applied as a "Transition" section Into the Chorus. But I found It best, most useful to (Choose) between which approach you of the 3 you want to apply to your production, and not all 3 bkz Imo this Is not the type of Vsti you want to build a complete production ONLY using Melo-Fi. In short It plays best with others as a complimentary additive Instrument/tone, opposed to the main featured sound or tone.

Imo It seems to make instruments that are playing/sounding well In general context Individually, but lack that little nuance that compliments, fills additional space within the arrangement cleanly, & sums all the textures of all VstI's used to make the track together some how creating a natural "LOOPED" feel to the arrangements over all texture vs a separate Instrumented textures of each VstI used that may not be meshing sonic ly, & have digital "band" -ish sound which can be desired In an alternative situation that require a (Band/Live Musician) type feel & Is desired creatively, but If you want a "Sample" looped feel This little gem works just great. I was going to give It a 4 because It's very basic In conception, & doesn't offer many EFX/Mod features and so forth. But sometimes that can be a great thing because sometimes you just need that (simple) basic final touch element to compliment a track & give It that lil bit of missing sauce the song needed which Is why I decided to give It a 5 star rating because of It's uniqueness In sound, & as I iterated, I surprisingly found more practical (consistent, regular) use of the "Melo-FI" Vsti than I would have Initially thought. But It's most def a worthy download, & won't be a waste of your time like many (free) VST offerings can be.

I typically don't do, & or leave reviews, but this lil guy deserved some love bkz I have paid (Lofi) plugins similar In concept & have gotten lesser "Practical" daily use out of them opposed to Melo-Fi Vsti. So get this fellaz. Even If you don't think you'l like It, trust me you will, even If It has to grow on you a bit. You'll eventually realize It's value to you Instrument & sonic tool box.

This is a very very good simplistical style delay/echoer, which in todays uber advanced world of modern day delay technologies that can be a bit exacerbated as for serviceability, usefulness applicatory wse, can be a great thing. In essence, sometimes it's just to much with all the ms devs trying to out better one anothers delay plugin simply put. But Rhythm delay is, & does exactly what it says in name. It's extremely "Rhytmical" in the way the algorithm portrays it's imagining. Can be used on practically anything, but from a few years experienced owning the plugin i woud say it's best suited for drums which is a good thing bkz many delays don't exactly work effeciently well on drums a lot of times from my endeavors at least. But RD is good bkz it's (clean) & has a very good 'start/stop" engine if u will under the hood. Very easy to dial in for unique drum textures that improve your over all dream imaging presentationally in the track. Again, it's very clean, but is very "Mathmatical" in it's feature controls that are very finite with control of "Speeds". It's also so simple bkz u just highlight what ever individual boxes that all have different (per note ratios i.e 1/4, 1/8th) etc, which u can then do "combination" box/note matching for randomized results and so forth. I like to use it on a whole drum pattern set, or even more effectively on each drum sound in the set, leaving some element "dry" while adding Rhythm delay to other element drum sounds in the set adds a "professional" sheen, texture to the full sound of the drum, giving them an "Album" feel to them. Rhythm Delay is very powerful, and simple at the same time, if not over thought, and used sparing, or in some cases aggressively, you'd be suprised what RD does bkz it is exact, but has the ability to get chaotic lol, but the base is to be a clean delay that u can still add other effects with on the drums with out it becoming a big stereo imaging battle for space. RD has a "free, or synced" with very deep "Micro seconded" delay speed value control. ALso has a (smoothing), & or preence knob that allows you to kind of offset, place the effect within the drum imagining sound plate. In summary, it doesn't have the "Reverb & or Chorused" added features of a more advanced delay efx plugin, no "Pitch shifting" & exotic filtiers ahah, and THAT is what gives it it's advantage & additional value, usefulness etc. Sometimes you just want a delay that's simple, clean, exact, & gives you strong repetitive algorithmic motion consistent of a drummers timing rhythm if u will, so it's (natural) almost human like rhythmic response, woven in with tight per note scaling, minus the special fx. I use this delay in almost every beat session bkz i can use it to "glue" my creative idea production wise together more easily when adding Rhythm Dela to a particular instrument, Drums, or to fill in empty spots, & that don't feature a sound, or texture that may leave the beat feeling bland, abandoned, or naked. RD "Blends" that empty air space in the creative space between the ideas you are coming up with while producing. It makes idea's formulate more accurately. This is a very UNDER RATED delay plugin, & for everything it's not, or may at first glance turn people off is exactly why, & what makes it's so great!! It's one of those "u just have to use/try it" to know how potent, useful great in application it is. It also boast a very "warm", & analog sounding echoes algorithm, low CPU as well. so it's most def a "Tool" that is not only nice to have, but necessary bkz it covers a lot of creative ground unintentianally which is what makes it powerful. 10/10 if i could rate it that high lol. I love plugins that u can actually use creatively in all the times, in any given situation & they always produce pleasing, unexpected results, that's what RD does. It makes sounds, drums, instruments etc "fit", blend sonically where otherwise they may not have seemed to have worked well with out RD being added to help imbellish the sonic texture plate.
