      @@SirNotAppearing very sorry to hear that. Indeed some plugins had suboptimal performance issues in the past but we are constantly working to improve the framework. In the past year we’ve optimized a lot of the codebase and - especially on windows - things should perform a lot better. Feel free to write hello at puremagnetik with any specific issues and we will definitely sort them out!

      He was saying how random it can be, it looks fun but I really need to be able to recall patches and have the effect same the sound way when I open the project again, based on the selected parameters and into future sessions... or would I need to bounce the audio every time just due to the fact if I catch some randomness magic it may not happen again (in precisely the same way)?

    Thanks for this. I was aware of Emergence and Pianoverb. But I live Fogpad, Driftmaker and Expanse. My other favourite's recently have been from Freakshow Industries. Mishby is my favourite. It's indescribably strange. The interface is a work of art. I think you'll like it. Audiomodern have some greate free plugins too. Filterstep is a 'motion filter' that's quite creative. Gatelab brings some creative modular-like gate sequencing into the DAW too. Audiothing filterjam is a multiband resonant filter, a few years old now, but I still like it.

    You’re absolutely right! This is the best 😁 There are so many plugins and VSTs out there, but who needs another reverb, compressor or saturation knob. It’s the chaotic and different plugins that get my attention and evidence of a truly creative developer. In fact, I think all the major vendors have similar high quality traditional effects that come with your DAW or bundle. They’ve nailed it. Now if you want a different sound, you need to venture into the unusual. Well done!

  • @mikeexits
    @mikeexits 2 года назад

    Just wanted to throw my experience in here too. I have probably more than half of Puremagnetik's plugins, free and paid - have been collecting them for over a year now - and I've never had a problem getting them to work in Ableton Live 10 Suite. Aside from getting the Github projects, exporting from Cabbage, and not keeping the CSD file and "includes" images folder with the .dll or .vst3 file, which was my own fault.
    By the way, yes, you can get any of the newest Lore series plugins for free from their Github too! You just need to download Cabbage (an IDE for programming audio software), import the project file of whatever plugin you want, then export it in the format you want. You'll have to be sure whether it's an instrument or effect plugin before doing so, or you could break the plugin that way too.

    Awesome, a few I haven't tried yet here.
    TOP TIP: chuck your plugins into VCV (you'll need to buy the Host module but that's very reasonably priced). Now randomly modulate everything using modular tricks. Emergence goes absolutely batshit doing this!
    My recommendation for a messed up free plugin that nobody has heard of would be R-mem - it's almost unusable on a track but makes really weird noises instantly. 👍

    it's pretty unique as such an extensive free synth that also supports different tunings, it's got a crazy load of presets too, it's open-source, even has dark-mode and scaling, seems well optimized CPU and bug-wise in FL, it's generally amazing. (Not necessarily weird btw., just unusual)
