Free update to a plugin Ive had for 6 years or something. I really really hated it at first but Ive learned too actually like the 1,000 grit sandpaper drive color and it also has a "sub kick" ir capture which I think is a famous yamaha mic.
Annyway, free update!
*edit
It's pretty neat the hour I've been playing with it. It's basically their "X" style plugins - live tuner, pitch shift, post EQ with low and hi filters - normally their X means it can be used with the Quad Cortex but because the guy who started Neural DSP sold his stake in Darkglass to Korg (who also makes the Aguilar Suite hahahaha) they can't port it to the Quad Cortex because Korg released a hardware Darkglass format and compete blah blah. Anyways... it desktop only. Really good so far... I will go to town with it this weekend. And on sale is only $50 bux which is auto-purchase for people who record at home.
But it has a fuzz and haha... didn't I just buy one of these?

This update has 8x10 capture added. It seems like 98% of Neural DSP marketing is to leather nutcup metal heads but you can get a really useable, solid basstone with this plugin - I like it way more than the NDSP Parallax bass plugin, that one useful as a preamp only imho with the cab section disabled (and I always think of the makers of Descent 3 when I load up Parallax doink). But this Darkglass is great and you don't have to tinker all day. Just played over this Native Instruments Maschine file called: "Mifter Vife Prevident gunna teach the Pope how tha whurl wurk"
Here is a question for you: I discovered yesterday I don't really have anything in my arsenal to make industrial, mechanical sounds. I always lean toward soothing, fuzzy tones so all my equipment is pleasant sounding, but I'm working on something now that requires a harshness I don't have. I need some kind of synth or sound generator, hardware or software, that makes sound effects I guess. (I guess I could reinstall VCV Rack and start making something from scratch but I like the efficiency of presets.)
Today I'm going to see if my circuit bent Casio SK-1 can solve the problem. If not then I'll try Surge XT since that's got a crazy amount of functions.
Build your own like your hero! I remember you said you are linux based and I dont know besides the xt thing.
I use like Arturia Pigments for harsh stuff or Logic has nice synths. Charlie Clouser (film tv composer) still uses Logic synths from way back when it was emagic. Whatever you can get - most of the ★■◆● that comes out is just emulations of that roland stuff, the software is mostly convienince.
This Nord Lead vi has a penguin download link. A keyboard player I was in a band with used a Nord Lead and they are wicked. This may help you get harsh tones.
Hey thanks for thinking of me. I wound up using my bent Casio SK-1 and it worked out better than expected. The track is an Industrial Drone, something I never write, probably because I recently listened to the latest Tron soundtrack. The recording is all cheap battery powered hardware: a Korg Monotribe for bass and drums, Pocket Operator "Factory" for the background synth, and Casio SK-1 for the rest -- and lots of reverb from my DAW (Reaper). I've been going overboard on reverb lately, don't know what's up with that. Maybe a reflection of anxiety and uncertainty for the future?
See this is how these other companies can play in the sandbox with Neural DSP. You get the botique amp sim and all the effects are separate plugins - its like a bag of tools. Stop buying ★■◆●! But this stuff is so fun.
1 amp sim and 6 pedals for 129 is 18 bux a trick - and the stuff sounds fabulous - the big muffasuckas
While I don't care to chase plugins and spend money I don't have, I really, really love the design sense in a lot of these products. Just gorgeous. Great to look at regardless of how they sound.
The intro pricing is 30 days then it goes up to $179. I'll download the 14 day trial and by that time Ill rationalize to myself that it is really into next months slushfund spend if I can get it at 129. That delay is too rad and the boost pedal can for sure be helpful for bass tones. The fact that the pedals can be separate pieces is a huge selling point.

Linux version of the 80's classics. From my solar system that OB ★■◆● is basically half of those early to mid-80s Prince/The Time albums.
