I don't think the product web page does a very good job of presenting just what this thing is and does.  But a quick read of twenty or so pages of the documentation (maybe about a third of the total pages) should give anyone a decent idea.

So what exactly does this thing do?

Yes, I watched that video, but for me it didn't explain anything ... other than this guy uses it for things I'd never be interested in doing.  Seriously, I think the only way you'd get a sense of what this software is all about is to make a quick scan of the manual.  Not all of it, but maybe the first twenty pages after the installation instructions.  Just download the manual.  They make it really easy to find on the SFX Machine Pro web page.

Just an opinion, worth no more or maybe less than the next opinion.
Did not float my boat. Some useful stuff and a ton of presets that will never be used. Quality effects are there but in this market, I can't find anything higher quality than what's in the sea of freeware aps, with a lot less hassle fine tuning..
Seems more geared to hard core tweakers. I'm the biggest offender.
 
Always chasing the ultimate sound config.
Realized many years ago the energy spent in my tech trek toward sonic perfection was a cop out. Disguised the creative poverty in my case. Chasing the sound was a false front to ultimately avoid doing the sound.

it is a modular effects rack.  Just picked it up.  Anyone will have many of the effects, but it is a nice, convenient package.  Plus there are a few things many won't have - envelope follower, granular effect, etc. etc.

I tried a telephone/distortion effect on vocals - it worked very nice (along w/ a bunch of other stuff like comps - the SFX machine doesn't really have one of those that I've found).

For twenty bucks it is worth having.  Hundreds of presets that you can muck around w/.  I haven't yet gotten to the point of starting from scratch.  I guess it is time to read the manual.

Bit hit the nail on the head when he said it was the kind of plug-in that would probably appeal to the kind of guys who like to program synths from scratch.

I just authorized this plug in X1, no problem....does anyone know how to get it authorized in Pro Tools 9?
