Not sure what some examples in your list tell us. As in bad support? Like Wave Arts, Sonnox, Sonic Charge, Solid State Logic, MathewLane, Boz Digital Labs, AudioThing, 2C-Audio to name a few.

 

That explains the bad support from Akai They are all the same s**t. People should boycot these brands , maybe then they wake up and finally offer better support

Some tips

Prosoniq
Opcode, they had all a similar styling, and Opcode was one of the best
but if you want to look for some radioactive stuff, here are some names
maybe that spark a reaction

not to forget hyperism /Aboretum

edit/ saw you found them
with the colors i would have tipped dspfx
the have some amazing filters

 

heard on gsluts that Relab may do it

 

To me, URS plugins. It's sad that the developer never released 64bits versions. I still install jbridge just to be able to use URS' 1970 compressor.

 

Oh here's another one for this thread. Second Sense Audio, who makes the synth Wiggle. Pretty cool phase distorting synthesizer. causes up to 70-100 percent cpu load when idling in Ableton Live. Reverts to normal cpu load when processing sound.

Using a plugin host can fix this. FL Minihost, or the Blue Cat one or whatever.

 

Has Eventide's Ursa Major Space Station plugin been mentioned? I'm sure a lot of people would like to have that, but they inexplicably discontinued it. I hope they bring it back as VST.

https://www.audioease.com/altiverb/browse.php#SST-282 You can find it at the sister site.

 

No choice was made for customer support, but in general companies that are neglecting their development invest less in good customer service, too. The lists deal on the one hand with discontinued products and on the other hand with manufacturers without significant further development ("lame" developers). The examples you mentioned belong to the latter category, in my opinion. To maximize profit, the focus here remains on marketing the same old stuff while minimizing the expense of creating new, creative solutions that benefit the user. The lack of support for modern hardware/operating systems/plug-in standards are also typical. Sorry if I've judged some of your favorites too harshly, the boundaries are fluid anyway and every selection of this type is naturally subjective. From personal experience, everyone can certainly add a number of entries to this list or remove others from it.

 

Right. Akai have very shitty support. Just look at my post from other topic. They refeer me to some random guy on youtube LOL.


This is a copy of message from me and from Akai support which I found on my e-mail.
Exactly it was early 2019 and I was waiting for the answer 5 weeks.

Hi. I have problems with mpd all the time from first day in ableton live.
I have Double/Multi/Extra Unwanted Triggers MIDI Notes. In mpk mini in ableton live midi icon
light only when i touch pad, lights off, and again on when i release pad.
In MPD218 when i touch pad midi icon flashes all the time.
How to fix this? I have other problems, when i touched two or three pads,
sometimes other pads turns on for the moment.
Other problem is when i softly touch pads, they flashing and multi triggering.
Other problem is when i touched pads fast. They have double or multi triggering midi,
two or three sample playing instead of one. In mpk mini this problems not appears.

Please help.

And i have question. Do You have some usb midi controller with only pads
constructed like in mpk mini, hard, short, without extra triggering after soft touch?
I don't like MPD218. I like pads in MPK mini.

Cheers

Powercore or whore you name it

 

Powerwhore

I'm interested about this technology. But I don't have idea where I can find .pocolicense
I care the most about Access Virus Powercore License.
Looks very cool

 

I was just about to post this beauty, I have many different versions of this installer and also a folder full of licenses for the TC Powercore platform provided to me by members of the community in the hope I can pass them onto a cracking team one day to take away the need for the Hardware, see my post here

https://audiosex.pro/threads/whats-stopping-the-tc-powecore-from-being-cracked.54315/

If anybody knows somebody who would have the skills to take this on then let me know, I can provide TC Powercore hardware (Various Units) and any JTAG readers needed

 

ARBORETUM Hyperprism
Anarchy Sound Software for ex swarm synth
Soundtoys : PitchBlender / TimeBlender (Amazing plugins so sad its no more)
Fusion : Vocode
TC Electronics : VoiceStrip (Was just amazing)

 

the only way for you to get the license is to buy used
and you have to be careful how the license works (tied to card etc.) because
the license servers may not be working for older stuff
EBY

Isnt the Fabrik C channel stripthe same/ newer (was ported to native i belive)

A couple of my long lost fav plug ins

Arts Acoustic Reverb
Antres Filter
FXpansion Guru
NI Pro-53
Vanguard

 

use R2R Encryptor The Suppliers Tools v1.0.0-R2R to tell them bout maybe they want work on it ...

 

I did too...took the money and ran.

 

lame developers are those who never send email about their product updates, no reply, and pricey upgrade or update to the next version ..

 

Guys, could you PLEASE suggest me a replacement for this Steinberg synth *Embracer*? I am using a specific factory patch on one of my songs but it's time I use something 64 bit that sounds the same... I don't think I will ever find it. I don't remember the name of the patch of it, it used a choir and a synth or something combined, to me sounded stellar. I have tried to replicate it before, but I don't know sht about synths, and I used to have some choir libraries to play with, but so far nothing sounds that close. Embracer had this graininess to it that fit my vision perfectly. Sigh... Cheers guys.
