great concept, but i had a few issues with it forgetting some of its state. i also could imagine it would be cool if the tune parameters had a wider range.

This app has a high quality spectogram view, which makes it really enjoyable to look at. nice nice nice.

It is impossible to dislike this plugin. It gives you so many pleasant moments of surprise. You don't even need to know what you are doing to use it.

The Xenopatch feature is the best AI-based plugin feature I ever experienced so far. Sometimes it makes pretty accurate replications of your input samples as a synth patch, but it mostly just picks up a bit of the texture, tonaliy and rhythm and comes up with new variations that are just cool in their own right, and I love that :).

Also here's my video review:

4 stars now for the bug fixed. now about the latency: the daw i'm using is bitwig. it usually deals with latency correctly but it has a limit to how much latency a track is allowed to have. idk, i think it was 1sec or so. could it be that you try to send a longer latency to the daw with your plugin? apart from that i know no latency-bugs of bitwig.

old comment:

hey. cool tape stop plugin. i like the temposync feature. unfortunately it doesn't latency compensate the signal and the audio engine breaks when both time parameters are on 0. maybe check if you accidently left some edge cases that can stream nans and infs into the audio buffer.

fix these and i edit this comment and give you 5 stars, because the temposync feature is something that i really wanna have :).

when i downloaded the plugin it had no parameter smoothing yet. i don't know if the developer has fixed that yet. that would be cool. apart from that it's just really good. has a great sound with a dark and smooth vibe to it, almost of wooden nature.

these filters are garbage. no seriously. they are. but that is what makes this plugin so good. yesterday i was making a shoegazey beat and i used some old sforzando library as a drumkit, because most of my other realdrum plugins are either kinda bad or not really suited for that vibe. anyway that sforzando kit is really polite so i needed a way to add more glue and intensity to the sound. most people would use distortion now, like waveshapers, or even some multiband-stuff. but try to slap nonlinear filter with fuzzy mode on it instead and the crash cymbals will totally crush into the kick and snare. it is just a completely different sound, kinda like distortion, but different. you don't even have to filter away a lot of frequencies to completely transform your stuff. transparent EQs are a thing. analog EQs with subtle warmth are a thing. and complete garbage EQs are also a thing now and it's just perfect.

easy to use, great sound, creative. valhalla knows how to do it.

lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum, gotta get to the 100 chracters minimum requirement. lalalalalala, don't mind me.

a synth at this scale as a free plugin. holy fuck. ofc i give it 5 stars. and honestly, well deserved as well. i have a really hard time actually finding aspects that i find worse than in serum without being pedantic. an example would be that is suffers from the typical sensitive mode mouse-event issues of juce plugins. but as i said: pedantic af. here the thigns that i love most about this synth:

1. the fact that it has a speech synthesizer for wavetable creation. how sick is that?

2. the parameters next to each oscillator which are used to really smash the wavetable into whole other directions. it's a bit like serum's warp modes, but 2 of them and with way fancier options.

really cool thing. good concept. some of the stuff is a bit too fancy for me like a filter type that morphs between lowpass and highpass, as if i ever want to do that.. or will i? maybe i got uncreative, but i can't imagine a sit.. well anyway. one thing that i love about this plugin is the section with the formant filters and the phaser ones. because they really give you a unique way to think about these types of modulations and they sound great.
