You already could move blocks around via the editor before this update, but it's nice to be able to do it on the machine itself without the editor now
Also the new expert window that shows all 4 blocks is very nice in the new editor!
I know he's broken this down before but this is the billion dollar question.
But it’s those sorts of tones that have caught my attention thus far.
Haven't seen a new episode of The Modeling Wars from you in sometime. Is it because you ultimately decided that Fractal is better than everything and that thinking about lesser platforms is a waste of your time and energy?I think the VP4 is the decidedly better pedal. Like not even close. Beyond having 2,743 good emulations of all the classic pedals and effect types, to me what FAS nails on reverbs and building the more exotic delay/verb tones, for my tastes, is sounding like open natural spaces. You can go full Elronds Quartet but it still sits in a very pleasant way in your ear.
The H90 is a badass pedal, (Brace for impact) but kind of excels at different things. The pitch block is awesome, they’ve created the perfect anti-shimmer, and the reverse algos are great. You have to guard against the digital sheen with the pitch type stuff though. The “regular” effects are good in isolation, but I havent turned to it for that stuff much, in my relatively short time with it. It’s the “unnatural” stuff thats amazing. There is a preset in there that is combining the wormhole and Blackhole reverbs or some combo the two, and it sounds like two massive reverbs collapsing back into itself. Played at volume in stereo, its jaw dropping. That sort of stuff isn’t going to help anyone doing James Brown covers at the local coffee shop though.
Eventide gets major points for having a Bluetooth tablet app, but it kind of needs it because it’s much more of a pain in the ass to use on-device. VP4 device editing is much easier. (But, dear Cliff, please release a tablet editor like Eventide did with H90 Control)
Wow, that’s great to hear. I never got a chance to audition them head to head.
Effects are my favorite thing from Fractal actually, ever since my AX8 (amp tones are killer obviously). I am an Eventide fan as well but dont have my FM3 anymore to compare them.I think the VP4 is the decidedly better pedal.
