Product Reviews by KVR Members

Only tinkered with it for a short while, but I like it. For a novice synth user like myself, it's very easy to engage. Not sure how appealing it will be for folks looking for something more complex, but I can see myself using it often.

Thanks for sharing.

Good plugin, interesting presets, plenty of options to tinker with. As with all filter effects, you have to be mindful with volume/output/input. But I'm deducting a star because the creator probably should use a little more caution.

Be careful when exploring. Keep your volumes LOW at first until you know where you're going. Damage to ears and speakers is a real possibility.

Great plugin for pretty specific uses. It has a very creative and easy-to-use design with respect to the "grooves" element, which is the only thing I would probably use it for. Has 4/4 and 6/8 grooves, with a fairly decent selection. But what makes the grooves portion so cool is how easy it is to create and vary the drums. Each set of grooves has a selection of fills associated with it, and you can mix and match to your liking.

There are two main things I don't care for: 1.) It's not very natural sounding. The tones are excellent, but they don't sound like real drums. There's no option (that I saw) that allows the plugin to assign dynamics other than to do it manually with the actual MIDI clips. The second issue is the lack of rimshot grooves -- there are none. Now, the plugin shows something called a "sidestick," which I assume is likely their name for a rimshot, but I had zero luck hearing anything when assigning its channel designation in the settings.

Still, for what it is, I think it's a great idea. I hope we'll see it expanded. Perhaps some type of rompler option, which would allow me to easily play grooves with pre-existing MIDI clips with varying dynamics the plugin and process.

It's not a plugin, it's a puzzle you have to try and figure out on how to download and install the plugin. Should be fun for hackers and computer nerds, but can't imagine it will be much fun for folks simply trying to make music.

Good luck.

A waste of time that was a total headache. The only thing you get for "free" is a plugin that offers almost nothing relevant in terms of an effect. And worst of all, since they only offer an install app -- one that gives you no options for which specific elements of the plugin(s) you may or may not want, with no uninstall feature -- you have to dig around your C-drive to find all of the 1 gigabyte of materials to get rid of it. Of course, that's only after digging around their site to try and suss out how to find where they've hidden each element.

Was better than any paid piano plugin I've used...until I moved over to Windows 11. Now, the plugin is just trash for me. Using the same parameters, it just sounds terrible. Before, it was nearly impossible to discern it from a real grand piano being played live.

Incredibly saddened.

Wasn't bowled over at first, but took some time messing around with it between projects, and ended up adding it to my "favorites" folder.

Takes some time to fool around with. It's not going to impress you with presets right off the bat, at least it didn't for me. But once I started fiddling with the parameters, it became obvious there's potential to make a lot of good distortion sounds with it.

Many thanks.

Was using an older version of the plugin for the past couple of years, and really appreciate it. This version, though, has a pretty vast library, and of what I've tried thus far, it's some great stuff. The library is bulky to say the least, so be prepared to make room on your hard-drive. But for me, it's well worth it. CPU usage is very light, which is great.

Many thanks.

Please, please please update with some tanpura samples.

Perhaps the best instrument plugin I've tinkered with yet. It's simple, uses a moderate amount of CPU, but the main thing is its sound and execution of said sound. Each of the preset sounds is very authentic, and of course, you can adjust settings to your liking. But it's the embouchure effect that is so excellently executed. It sounds natural, like lips easing off of the instrument. Most other sampled sounds and synths disengage instantly, even with legato setting turned on. I can't say enough good things about this plugin. It's simple, but it's refined.

My many thanks to the creator.
