Thanks,
I will be investing in Virta. Maybe the others eventually too.

Always love the illustrations in theses manuals. Such an inspired way to communicate the technicalities and feeling of an instrument

From David Chandler, who has done so many great show flyers in the Northwest over the years. Also made one of my favorite albums on my old label Orac Records:

The manuals are very consciously taking the lead from great ones like the Arp 2600 and Music Easel manuals. People taking time not only to explain stuff, but to create a little world!

Quick update
I feel like Richard

Having fun figuring out Virta! Only thing I’m worried about right now is if my setup can handle the increased CPU load when everything is put together.

#18

This is absolutely stunning! Seems to be easier on the cpu than kaivo on my machine.

Love how snappy the dials are now.

Absolutely adore the delay. I think you should sell that as a standalone vst :slight_smile:

Ugh some kindof warning about the source material might have been good. That was pretty horrible for a first inpression of virta tbh

Hey, glad to hear it. I just put out an update yesterday that adds Cubase compatibility and some other fixes.

#23

I put up a new demo video on Virta’s product page. It’s a vocal-forward remix of a track by Seattle’s own SassyBlack to show off a wide range of different effects. Have a listen at https://madronalabs.com/products/virta .
