Excalibur is the powerful new plugin that lets you create some of the most innovative effects ever. Whether you're looking for delays, flangers, dynamic filters, phasers, pitch shifters or more, Excalibur is what you need. Its dynamic modulation is at home in music production, post and live performance.

Check out our new Excalibur page and ee what top professionals like Kenny Gioia, Gary Lux (Ben Harper, Sting, Norah Jones) and Stephen Gallagher (The Hobbit, King Kong, District 9) have to say.

You can own Excalibur for the low introductory price of $119 (€109), but only through April 10. After that, it returns to the regular price of $199 (€179).
Hear Excalibur for yourself at Exponential Audio. Better yet, grab a demo code from the website and try it yourself for 21 days (iLok2 required)

Excellent plugin, a no brainer for me. It's got that neutral clarity & quality of PhoenixVerb.
I also remembered there's an upgrade center if you already have any Exp. products.

updated Excalibur Version 1.0.2
 

• The tempo delay calculation was a little bit off. It's now fixed.
• The Master Feedback control wasn't functional. It is now.
• There was a bug in the reverb time modulation feature. That's now corrected.
• The voice effect limiter has been greatly improved. This completely tames some of the high levels you might have encountered in some presets--especially those with resonators.
• There's a new limiter in the voice feedback path. While intended primarily as a safety feature, it does offer some interesting new possibilities.
• Many preset change noises have been further reduced or eliminated. You may have noticed this with presets like "Swedish Kill". Please continue to report any problems that might remain.
• Some preset levels have been adjusted and there are several new presets.

HI Carl
Did you get this, is it any good? - when they emailed me it was available I listened to the demos on the their website and I have to say they did not blow me away - I felt I could get at least the same results with what I already have.
Thanks
Nigel
 

I wasn't planning on getting it either until I demoed. The quality is what got me to purchase, put on a few tracks & really liked what  heard. Kind of warm & rich, not sterile. CPU friendly & efficient. I'm using 3-5 instances per project so far, no issues or crashing.
Also nice is that it's modular, all in one. I never got into these types of fx plugins so I don't have many of the others, this will fit into my toolbox nicely.
With the intro & previous customer discount it was around $100.00

As always try the demo if you can, you might not feel the same way as I do about it.
Lots of presets too & these are very useable.
 Try it on projects where there's already delay/ slap on your guitars then try swapping them out with this. Simply start with the 'Guitar' presets.
 
*Sale ends April 10

I should know better... I should NOT have downloaded the demo. I should NOT have installed the demo. I should NOT have tried the demo. And I'm pretty sure I can't afford to buy the plug-in, but I've already goofed three times, so I think I'll make it 4.

This is an outstanding tool... deep, sounds great, and I suspect I'll be learning new things about it for a very long time!

Thanks for the comments - think I'll have to go try the demo!!

Warning - don't start the demo if you don't have the cash... it is that cool!

I haven't demo'd this plugin (yet).
If it's in the same league as Phoenix Verb, I'll probably not even fool with the demo (just get it straight away).
How is the subtle pitch-shifting?  In league with Eventide hardware?

I have not demo'd R2 or Phoenix Verb yet, don't have the resources to purchase either one just now, and running the trial would likely make do something foolish<G>!
 
But I will tell you that Excalibur is on a par with not just some of my favorite UAD plugins, but also my PCM-80.
 
What I like about Excalibur:
1) it covers a LOT of sonic turf, everything from gentle chorus to bizarre sound design
2) the user interface is laid out logically, and I can find everything I need
3) I was able to use it, and create my own patches without opening the manual... been a while since I could say that, heck, I can't say that about the PCM-80!
4) the preset library probably has a preset you can use, or use as a starting point, and the library browser works nicely.
5) the sound quality - and let's be honest, this is what makes or breaks any audio tool. The sound quality is on a par with any plug-in I've ever used, and my hardware. It does not sound exactly like the UA Cooper Time Cube (although I've been trying!), nor does it sound exactly like the PCM-80, but it has that same vibe, if that makes sense. It just sounds good (or weird, or downright bad, depending on your objective).
 
Can't think of a single complaint.
 
Except that of course now I am (more) curious about his reverb plug-ins!
