nice reverb, it is not mandatory to license it trough ilok

Nice plugin, great Ui; any reverb with a freeze is a win in my book. Thanks for suggesting it!

Spaceblender [very quick review]
The good:
- sounds interesting
- freeze, as Mr Boulé has noted
- parameters published nicely for CV control
The bad:
- very high CPU usage…110% for me on M2 macbook (4 'performance 'CPUs) even at idle with no input
- license is held locally, yet still a lot of iLok logos on the various splash screens when you authenticate, which will give some people the shivers
- Crashy? A few crashes when initiating or destroying the Host instance during my 5 minutes of experimentation so far
Don’t mean to be particularly negative. I can see plenty of use for it! But the cpu-hunger will be a limiting factor.
I’ve only tried it on a Windows laptop, CPU seemed comparable to other reverbs. I got an M4 Mac Mini recently, will test it on that too. First impressions, I really like it.
Of course, I had to combine it with Supermassive and that makes some truly huge ambient soundscapes.
Ultramassive maybe?

This looks interesting, a free polyphonic modal filter effect. Similar to resonators, modal filters are often used for physical modelling. It can process audio or generate sounds too.

This was released a week or so ago:

This was overnight, website not updated yet, but purhaseable:

Matthias Puech (EnOsc, Tapographic Delay, Parasites, Batumi) is now leading the modernisation of GRM Tools into what appears to be a quite extraordinary sound design platform. Previewing for the first time at Superbooth, due for a September release of an early version, but he says that this is a ten year project.

Fun to play with MPE (I use an Exquis keyboard) … and it’s licensed under a GPL license.

Do you use Exquis with VCV? Via CV or MIDI?
I try, using the excellent MPE module by @Ahornberg
getting the MPE through to VCV Host is another story - I more or less gave up on that. Hopin for a better VCV Host module with added (MPE) Midi In/Out - and more audio channel outputs.

Why did you give up on passing MPE to VCV Host? I passed simpler input from a non-MPE keyboard (e.g., sustain pedal, could pass other pedals as well in theory, just never bothered), using MIDI via Bluetooth & the fantastic MIDIpolyMPE module, to VCV Host running Pianoteq. Initial setup took a bit of time, but then I just copy and paste. Should be possible to do the same with MPE?
You can’t send Y-Inclination CC#74 on different MIDI channels in VCV Host - at least I don’t know how to.

You need one VSV Host module for each channel of MPE polyphony. For easy setting up the VST’s, I made a dedicated module: Ahornberg - new module CPP
Here you see me playing a LinnStrument into 4 VCV Host modules

I really like it. It’s truly majestic.

Wonderful controller!
I think Rack needs an MPE to CV module 
Just wondering, would mapping MIDI channels to polyphonic cable channels do the trick or is there more to it?
afaik all MIDI2CV modules do a pretty good job here. I made my own MIDI Poly Expression module to especially address the LinnStrument Controller.
But as @Jens.Peter.Nielsen said:
I see. I suppose VCV Host module could implement something like this via poly cable support, hopefully they’ll look into it.
Right now my favorite vst to use after I create midi with vcv is battery. Having the lights show up on the drum hits is about the only way I can tell what is going on when I use vcv for midi output to a daw. Having a full 64 set works very well… not free most of the time although it was recently or sometimes it is with equipment.
This is honestly probably the best drum synth to date, and it’s free (mostly… open source, but 15$ for a build of the multi channel version)
Very high quality calculation of the sounds, but extremely efficient, because it creates samples and doesn’t calculate everything in realtime.
