Tried X Wave in Cubase SX3 and VSTHost - works lovely, nice and CPU lite too. Getting some great 'broken amp through a kicked-in speaker recorded at 8 bit to wax cylinder' type guitar sounds! (that's a compliment BTW!) - but some good sound thickening with the more gentle curves too.

Thanks for testing and reporting back guys 😍

Cheers 😉

congratulations. as a first feedback: i would change the filename to something more descriptive - setup.msi reads a bit wierd and my first impulse would be not to download it just because of the somewhat suspicious generic name (atleast if i would not know you from here and came across it from somewhere else). i would prefer a direct dll, but since you have additional installing, why not rename to x-wave-vst_setup.msi, or .exe

With the new primitive included in 1.1.7 you can get the path to the appdata folder directly from within SM, so you could use that and get rid of the installer if that was its main raison d´etre.

Good point, I will do that. 🙂

Yeah I'm using the systems folder primitive already. 🙂 I emailed Malc about the need for such a thing and so he added it into the 1.1.7 release. 🙂

Basically I use the installer to write the folders/files. And then inside the plugin I am using the systems folders primitive to read from that folder.

Cheers 😉

Yay, I'm on the first page of google already 🙂

Wasn't hard though there was only 4 pages for the word exoplug ha ha

aliasant · 3 Apr 2010

I like it, I'm a big saturation fan in general, and it's very similar to Image Line's CM Waveshaper.

I did have some problems installing, I would specify one of my regular vst folders, and nothing would show up, remove, reinstall, same. So I let it go to the default programfiles/vst or whatnot, and then it showed up, and I moved the dll manually.

OK I'll look into that thanks 🙂

Jay · 6 Apr 2010

yes RunBeerRun2 is correct in that the little installer is broken! it seems to install to ...\program files\vst plugins\ whether you set it to install to your shared vst folder or not, i never noticed this at first as i have a vst folder in that location and my daw's set to look there so it worked first off for me!

i have had a great time playing with this for the last couple of days and compared to some other expensive counterparts i find it to produce a more pleasing sound on most sources i have been obliterating 🙂

However.... my wifes sheep hate it and so do her horses lol what fun!

Best regards

Oops. Forgot this. I had the exact same problems so I did the same... Installed to the default and then manually moved the dll to my designated VST plug folder on a nother drive., Win7 x64

About the website, if I may:

As said, really cool name, easy to remember and not too long. Great ! Good background choice (way too many designers choose alternating back&white lines of 1 pixel height which flicker badly on some displays when scrolling) Good colors and text is easy to read

BUT !!!

On widescreen monitors the page's width only uses about a third of the available space. Why use fixed width ? I humbly suggest to use relative instead of absolute width. For better looking design you could still leave a small margin.

Congradulations again

nix · 10 Apr 2010

Exo, much thanks for all the help. 🙂

SM does not have this feature available to it. So it will never be possible. Many VST hosts have their own interfaces you can use, or use a real or virtual controller.

VST sizes are tricky thing to pin down; they have to fit netbooks & 30" monitors.

NIX...+1 Yes Exo's help has been amazing, Thanks Exo for all your help in the past..

nix · 12 Apr 2010

I particularly like Exo's white arpeggiator. And the sampler 🙂 I can find a link to the arp brb Here is the arp(for reg users)-> SM groove box collab! There is a really cool double precision counter inside the sampler
