Fractal Talk

Like hating the fact that a product you don't own got an update.

The only thing weirder than people talking on a forum is people talking on a forum about how people on another forum talk on that forum.

The ndsp one is “just” passable to me for metalcore, I have to crank the boost pedals to compensate what the transpose is doing to the feel of the signal

XS-1 is probably the best pedal I’ve ever tried for that thing, I’d still crank a boost a bit for the same thing

Polychrome hypertune and hypertune metal is the best I’ve tried for plugins, hypertune metal has the boost right there which is convenient cause I don’t have to change the existing patches.

But yeah they’re all weird in their own way it’s just “what’s acceptable”. I’d never want to commit to a proper recording with this stuff but for gigging and demos it’s passable

re pitch shifting I think Fractal is around 7 ms and its not poly. the new hot tone Freqlux poly shifter about to be released is claims latency number of 5 ms or just under , that said did they trade tracking for audible artifcts though?

it might be a cool product to add to you AM4 if you really must have pitch fx though

I actually wish they had just a "use two block slots" type "heavy" effect to allow the AM4 to have all the fx the VP4 has. Like I could sacrifice a block to have Pitch or Multitap in many situations. Similar to how e.g Line6 Helix pitch shift takes a lot of CPU but can be done if you sacrifice other blocks.

Yeah but in fairness The Fretboard is full of arseholes who can't even play guitar, so.....

Seriously, I’m legit baffled that people are impressed with Fractal’s pitch shifting, Line 6, Drop pedals, XS-1, etc. even the NDSP, while yes, very good in comparison, sounds weird and icky, like playing a sample of a guitar, not a guitar. Just MHO.

Yup. I remember having to live with the Morpheus way back in the 2000s. .
