great news ! I love the retroactive policy :wink: ... Could you give a little more explanations about this comp. The previous releases were very efficient, fast and transparent. I suppose this one is very different (thanks to the tube :) . Actually i just need more information about the knobs ... thanks !

The little tube which appears to be heated up was last seen in that great free synth called Saturn.

It means somethings cookin'.

Knowing DAS, I'd say your signals would be on fire !!

well, if it's designed to be a clone of the heavyweight champion 660, the mode knob corresponds to the time constant knob, which is a six-way selector for attack/release time. right, olive?

by the way, tho original meter looks damn good, maybe an option for a future release? :)

I believe that's exactly it, as lower settings have a looser sound, with a lot more decay, while higher values provide a "tighter" sound, to my ears at least... I kind of like it, as it has a dirtier sound than the others in the bundle, sort of vinco-like, but with a much nicer distortion (not "transparency" :) ). You can give it a lot of gain without overloading the output.

The GUI looks something like DAS meets MCCY, doesn't it? I like it!

hi all,

It is in no way a clone or an emulation of the Fairchild ... if it was, we would have said it explicitely ... ;-) as told befor, it's a derivation of our Dynamic algorythm ... that is definitely very "tranparent" ... meaning with quite no harmonics generated ...

it is a complemetary of the two others devices ... with a minimun of setting knobs .... meaning easy and fast to use !
which is a six-way selector for attack/release time. right, olive?
Not only !!! for sure it has a effect on times ... but also much more ... in fact it is a selection for many "Tube" functions ... (let's say it like that ... detailing it should be boring ;-) )

below, a screen shot of these different modes ... from a 1000Hz
a chance to get a demo version ?
Sorry but unfortunately, not so much chances ... in fact it is a bonus free plug for the ones that will or have bought the Dynamic bundle ... and "Ratroactive policy" has alrady began ... all our cusomers that already have the bundle, already have and use DAS 660 ... feedbacks about it are more than interesting ... ;-)
Knowing DAS, I'd say your signals would be on fire !!
IT IS ... ;-)

but since the name and the controls are maybe not chosen by accident, one might assume that. if you intended to point out that it has nothing to do with any existing model, you would have named it more neutral, right? :)

well, I have to admit I had no original manual of the fairchild, but the bombfactory 660 one. I interprete the mode selector as described by you, and I'm kinda sure that the original mode selector incorporates more than just times, e.g. attack, release and magic (it wouldn't probably have become such a famous unit)...

Sometimes,i use this plugin.You have to set it correctly (and that's very difficult).From a mail to Eric (translated in english) : "send a pink noise and change all the settings,if you don't hear something ,you should visit a doctor :-)"
but Eric from DAS explained me well and now i'm able to find the same kind of sound i get with my old A77 REVOX with a high speed and at lowspeed,it's like when i use a non appropriated tape,"an Ampex instead of Agfa", sort of compression,like when the tape is too old.
Bias seems to be in relation with V.control,if you set V.control to high level and choose the low speed,you will get a kind of distorted sound on a hihat for exemple,and i don't like it :-) but in middle speed,it sounds good to my ears.At a higher speed it's difficult for me to ear something !but i will make some new test :-)
i really think they have found a true "analog tape emulation" with this plugin ! i'm not surprised ,Eric and Olive are sound enginneer and they really know what is "analog sound" :wink:.and when Eric and i are talking about his job and the artistsssss... he recorded ,i can say : RESPECT !

This plugin is like "magneto" from Steinberg.

Wow,
That sounds exactly like Eric.

I never saw so many members become inflamed from his remarks.

It was great entertainment. Hopefully he will grace our forum again with his krass approach to conversation.

Old dogs sometimes have very short fuses. His is all gunpowder, no wax !!!


I Hope You Doing Well Brotha' Man Eric !!!!

Dear Olive,

Sorry to change the subject a little. But I recieved a 2 x 6 module from you and was wondering how you got my stereo send to do surround so easily?

I have hooked it up to 4 x Barbettas, a stereo Sub and my Rotary cabinet.

It seems as though it is working.

Do you have any documentaion describing it's use w/ say the STM16 S, or the STM2448S?

I wish to play live in surround since I seem to have a perfect set-up all with properly tuned, powered cabinets.


Thanks,
hubird
