I haven't heard it yet..  Its all installed and everything, but I haven't had a minute....   My guess?  Its a grimy dubstep gimmick..  We shall see...

They sure didn't aim for "subtle" did they?  I did find "fart" to be a particularly evocative preset.
 
With a lot of dialing back on the intensity of some of the parameters I did manage to get an effect somewhat similar to an old Electroharmonix comb filter sound.  Nice metallic guitar effect.
 
All in all, a great effect for the Acid House crowd.  Maybe not so sweet for more classic sounds.

Thanks for the condensed review, Bit. I won't waste any precious HD space on inferior plugins, even if they are free, or almost free. I have too many quality alternatives. Apparently, this plug is going to sell for 49 dollars after the holidays. It'll be another feather in the pile for K9, I suppose.

thanks for saving my time. I have a few things that already beat  it more than likely e.g. by fab filter... and not NI the company who took kore users for mugs

Downloaded, installed, tested ... OMG, I'm afraid you are too correct on this, Dave.  This thing is probably headed for a deletion. 
 
I will read the manual first though.  Maybe Direct has got something worth using that I'm missing.  However, the presets (at least as many as I could stand to listen to) do not make a good case for leaving this on my machine.

lol, love reading these opinions
It will be used, sparingly, on something eventually.

I'm keeping it. Every once in a while something weird is needed in a song.
It makes an OK envelope filter. I put it on Bass guitar and got a synth-bass sound.
If you change the filter from LPF to "Notch" and use the oscillator to modulate it you get a analog phase shifter sound.
Interesting on drums. I got a warble that gave them a synth-drum sound.
It's free and it works so no complaints here.

Free is without complaints if it does something wholly unique and you have nothing else to fit the niche. I'm having a hard time wading through all the things that I already have, and have barely even scratched the surface of what I might do with it all. It's overwhelming, but quite fun.

well if NI want to take their paying customers for ****s , they can expect the backlash... they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds em.  besides there are plenty of other companies who write as good or better than plugins without the crud customer service attached.

I must be the only guy who's gotten really nice CSR from Native-Instruments.  


Truth =  At this point there are other companies, writing great software plugins, for the budget producer price range that NI likes to play in.

Truth again =  At this point you can even find great plugins for a lot less $ than NI plugins.

(truth)(truth) = Native-Instrument plugins, time and time again, seem to have more cross daw compatibility than any other company around.

NI stuff is pretty solid.  Its as good as Waves stuff, and often times has less bugs.  As a lot of the other, "flavor of the month," plugin companies seem to fall by the wayside, NI sticks around and puts out CSR, products, fixes, and ideas.
