What’s next for Ess / Fors?

always very much liked all the different implementations of reverbs youve done in your devices over the years, at this point quite a variety of them have stacked up…

was wondering if @Ess you could give a basic breakdown of each, how they differ and the qualities each bring? from romb to sala to void to box etc, at this point is there any that youd consider “better” after refining over the years? or all just flavours in the toolbox? cheers

I wish these beautiful plugins would come out in hardware form too. Is my wish unrealistic?

Yeah as a takeover mode for Ableton Move or even the 1010 Bento.

If it can go from MAX to RNBO then it can go on hardware…

Rewriting the DSP in C or C++ for an embedded device is the absolute least of my worries when it comes to making hardware :stuck_out_tongue:

When will your full-fledged DAW be available? Tracker or something…

Software for Move would be great, I’d pay cash money for that.

Thanks, I take that as a compliment! :smile: I wanted to tap into a Y2K vibe from when netlabels were more of a thing, a bit pixely, simple lines and clear iconography - big fan of TDR obviously haha.

Initially I wanted to just do a label but now Lo-Bit Club is quickly snowballing in all kinds of great directions. :sweat_smile:

Absolutely a compliment. They, Ian and company ( Michel c Place being my fave designer) were the reason why i started to appreciate the post Bauhaus design movement.

indeed…looking forward to your next piece. keep on keepin on.

I used to listen to this Zabutom track all the time on YouTube. Love his stuff:

@ess will the event be recorded uploaded anywhere for those of us that are most assuredly nowhere near Gothenburg?

Is it true Fors synths don’t have presets?

I was interested in Chiral for Push 3 if it makes any difference.

no

Installed Chiral but no presets on Push 3! Hopefully just a me problem :sweat_smile:

Push3 Controller or Standalone?
If Standalone, you need to copy not only the amxd file, but also the presets folders. Presets aren’t integrated into the Chiral amxd file, they are adv Ableton presets.
