Had my first quick look at it, all very usable and quick to pickup.
 
What I like so far:
Seems to be quite low CPU hit which is good for a channel strip.
Pitch shift sounds nice.
EQ is reasonable not the best I have heard but fine for basic tasks
Like the drag and drop modules.
Nice GUI.
 
For free this is a great plugin, bringing lots to the table.
 
I already have an Ilok so stay out of that debate.

First tried to use gmon's code which seemed to be working.  Got to "depositing license" and waited...then it kicked me to a blank page (eventide.elasticbeanstalk.something or other) and simply hung.  Checked my email and saw that as a previous Eventide customer I had the promo and my own code.  Tried using that...got an invalid code error.  Used a different email.  Still invalid code error.  Tried gmon's code again.  Same thing...all good till "depositing license please wait" then kicked to the blank page again.  What it supposed to happen and how long does it take to "deposit license" in your iLok account??
 
Plus how do you download the plug?

I could only get it deposit the license to my ilok with Internet Explorer. Chrome and Firefox both hung. Downloading now

Seems that their servers may be overly busy right now.  Maybe better to wait until the stampede subsides, then try again.  It worked for me after a couple of refreshes of the "blank" page.
 
When it finally comes back with a happy message, you'll get an e-mail with the link to the installer.  Then you'll also be able to activate the plug within the iLok License Manager. 
 
Looks like a cool plugin ... miniature versions of gate, 2 comps, EQ, saturation, the famous pitch-shifter, and delay all rolled into one interface.  Reminds me of the Ren Channel but with more stuff.  Tons of presets, too.  Well worth the download!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

Last time I installed iLok drivers for a "free" plugin it caused problems and wasn't easy to eradicate due to lack of an uninstall utility. I won't do that again, I don't care what kind of carrot they're dangling.

Thanks Eddie, ol pal!!  That did the trick.  Just refreshed the "blank" page a time or two and bingo.

Looks like a nice little channel strip.  Funny, if something is free I have a hard time placing a value on it.  Basic tools.  Not a lot of personality.

It looks like a great way to check out what you might want to do to any track since everything is right under your finger tips.
 
Also, we I get a freebie, I always wonder what the developer's angle is.

I just put the code in the form at the end of the page and the plugin was finally put into the manager. It's all good now.

The developer wants to get a base of people using and liking the plugin in order to sell the program at the price they will be asking . I like the moving around of the modules in the plugin. Makes it easier to get your own signal path.

Is this actually free or a license that times out July 8?
