USE Plugiator

mutilatedlip · #1 (**permalink**) 28th August 2008 , 02:54 PM

Has anyone seen/heard/had any hands-on with one of these little things?

I remember playing an ASB Minimax many moons ago and being really impressed with it's analogue feel and sounds. However, they were £5-600 at the time.

This little box has the Minimax and it's stable-mate synths the Pro-12/Odyssey/Vocoder etc. all built in. Best thing, it's sub £300 which is pretty good value as it's apparently expandable, holds up to eight soon-to-be-released additional plug-ins.

Basic ins and outs, but early word seems to be quite good on them.

Anyone got the ASB/Creamware synth range?

If memory serves, when Creamware went out of business, USE Audio inherited the software synths and another company (can't remember who), inherited the SCOPE hardware platform.

I seriously looked at buying the Plugiator... mostly to have a modeled tone-wheel organ on-stage with extra synths bundled in at a reasonable price. I have now decided I'm going to get an SMPro V-Machine instead and use that to run second instances of some of my VST plugins, including NI B4 II.

Wow what a great product. We should do it. I'll have a word with the decision makers once they're back from their holidays. Thanks for the headz up.
