Thanks for the info.
I've heard their plugins are buggy, badly (if ever) coded and insanely heavy on CPU.

"He's most probably using a graphical 'export to code' Spice modeller. In a similar vein to Synthedit or Synthmaker."
"So you just like graphically arrange and build a virtual "circuit" onscreen and then just export as code? That explains a lot - like why specific bugs weren't addressed, because he wasn't a coder developer as such."
"This would explain pretty much everything. The guy can't code at all. Nor does he seem to have any knowledge of basic audio engineering. It seems like the only thing he knew something about was the spice part.. and even that I'm starting to suspect. Perhaps he is literally translating schematics and brute forcing bits and pieces through some sort of code translation."
"I did wonder how such clunky software could remain so well perceived without any backlash for such a long time."

Opinions?

 

I wouldn't use AO plugins even when they're free. Guess why? [what The Revenant said]

Tried some. Deleted them. Buggy and just generally not that good. Maybe his new ones are better? It's been a while since I tried them.

The only thing he's obsessed with are hardware lookalike GUIs, I think. Kinda like Arturia.

Tried with real acoustic kick (In, Out, Sub). Nice sound but high CPU usage. 11% - 27% idle.

Also did a exclusive solo comparison between other emulations. The closest match was the Overtone PTC-2A.

The PTC-2A (CPU below 1% idle) has the most definition for me. Even over the Tubetech.
