Sick of Pultec emulations.

That Obelisk plugs looks pretty hot!!! I will certainly keep an eye on it until the PC version is ready then I can try a demo.

It reminded me of another excellent plug...Izotope Spectron.

Basically use crystallizer on any synth to alter the sound and sometime automate the pitch knob to get that conked out record player effect.

interesting will give it a go, just found after finding a good sound crys normally completely changes it too drastically, will mess about again

Ah, but I would argue under my original criteria that most of the Soundtoys products do not count for the purposes of this thread. Not that they aren't awesome (they're very awesome), but most of them are modelled on dusty old hardware.

yeah i kind of thought that, but imo only modelled on the very basic fundamental of one, i dont think a bit of hardware has the options they have, crystallizer has no hardware equivalent to my knowledge?

fair enough, the crystallizer definitely is unique, and I guess there are some crazy options in the others... although the echoboy for example may in fact be achievable in a hardware design, although a crazy expensive one at that...

ok ok the pressure is too much, il confess i posted the sound toys bundle as i couldn't find a video on just crystallizer. i didnt mean to do it but one thing led to another and the next thing i knew i was posting the bundle, please forgive me T3

all seriousness that was the case actually, i did try and look for the crystallizer but only found the bundle video and thought it had to be mentioned

[cane creek]

yep just play with that pitch knob in logic's automation

[cane creek]

Soundtoys bundle + Audio damages replicant + Artificial audio obelisk + Soniccoutures kontakt Glitch script + sugar bytes Effectrix + UAD's compressors = A very Happy IDM'ist

Actually, Logic's compressor is quite a nifty trick.

I don't know of any others that can switch emulation modes. So yes, it does break the rule on emulating hardware, but the fact it can change its colours so easily (and at all) makes it pretty unique to me. There's no way a fet compressor can suddenly become an opto !
