Here's a couple quick (well, "quick" as in I just banged 'em together, not "quick" as in "wow, that Soundcloud embedded player loads quick!") demos of the upcoming AD plug. I imagine that if I give you a little context, you can figure out what it is. In Fs\_qd1, the source is Massive, with the filters turned off. First you hear it dry, then with the effect. In Fs\_qd2, the source is FabFilter Twin2, again with the filters turned off. Any delay or reverb you hear is coming from elsewhere, not the effect.

I'll bet you crafty fuckers can tell exactly what it is from that information.

We're on a Death March to finish it before Adam leaves for Japan; we've currently run in to an interesting issue wherein the VST2.4 and AU plug-ins created by the built-in VST3 wrapper code can't read the VST3 presets. This is something of a conundrum. It's not really that big a deal with the AU, as worst case scenario we can just clone the VST3 presets as AU presets and put them in the preset folder on install. With the VST2.4, however, the user will most likely have to load a bank manually, unless we figure something crafty out. Working on it.

Anyhow, the plug-in is pretty much feature-complete at this juncture, and we're just working on "tuning" and that. Once I'm 100% certain the UI won't change, I'll throw it up. Not gonna be all secretive and shit about this one like the last couple.

I know! I know! It's an analog arpeggiator, right? Do I win anything?

I kid.

Instant Dubstep-synced-LFO-filterizer

**Computer Controlled** (2011-08-25):

The Wubinator!

**darklordjames** (2011-08-25):

I'll go with Wub-wub-o-tron.

**krell** (2011-08-25):

Multi filter with some sort of band specific delay?

**valis** (2011-08-25):

Is it a go-go girl clad with leggings and a hula hoop?

**boobs** (2011-08-25):

either a ban hammer or a STFU ;)

**lazenbleep** (2011-08-25):

formant filter?

:#

**neB** (2011-08-25):

That's totally a Whippet Filter.

**chaircrusher** (2011-08-25):

IT'S THE BRO-STEP-ULATOR

**Trackdriver** (2011-08-25):

Or a Wubulator. Sounds like a filter plugin with saturation and LFOs

**stretta** (2011-08-25):

Is ramping to/from host-synced LFO rates a thing?

**renderful** (2011-08-25):

I'm with neB

**renderful** (2011-08-25):

It's hard for me to not assume this is a filter, with all of the filtering going on while the source filters are disabled.

**Chris Randall** (2011-08-25):

@stretta: No. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? Tricky to do, though. I just have good aim.

**DBM** (2011-08-25):

It's the Wubulator

**Chris Randall** (2011-08-25):

We're regretting not including "Wub" in the name at this juncture, I'll be honest.

**darklordjames** (2011-08-25):

AD has character for days, and a tongue-in-cheek "wub" name would fit right in, I'd think.

**jondle** (2011-08-25):

"I'm Wub boobs?"

**boobs** (2011-08-25):

@jondle - "I'm Wub boobs?"

if you are going to go that route i suggest:

I Wub num nums.

now that that's taken care of... i say it's a filtering filter filter... LFO's, adsr, envelope follower on board? any info on the resonance characteristics?

**shamann** (2011-08-27):

"our own preset mechanism"

Yay!

**Computer Controlled** (2011-08-28):

I could use a damn fine Filter VST.
