Apparently it's a new vintage modelling plugin. Check out's d16's home page...

I know how you feel and agree. But... but... but... $15 a month? Damn, that's a lot of plugin for very little outlay. Even after a year it's next to bugger all. Very hard to resist. Or of course, I could get Waves Silver for just $10 a month. Oh decisions, decisions*

Is this serious? http://slatedigital.com/slate-digital-fg-x-review/

FG-X "reviewed" by the slatedigital?

This takes marketing to a whole new level.

Hmmm... Comparing the aforementioned "Repeater"-PlugIn from D16 with this one http://www.voxengo.com/product/tempodelay/ makes my choice easy...

"Bugger all" is a relative term

Give me rent-to-own (even with a small markup), and we can talk

To me, at a very quick glance, the most interesting thing about the new slate/D16 thing is the emulation aspect. Have no idea why this Voxengo delay would get mentioned in the same 'breath'

It has about nothing in common with Sigmund - besides both being delay fx of course.

Actually, not "fanboy-ism" at all here, jens.

Slate currently offers 25+ (or is it 30+ now?) plugins in this bundle, and some of them are from third parties (Scuffham, RELAB, now a collab with D16 and LiquidSonics) that cost about 200-400bucks each themselves.

Compared to what the competition has to offer, that is(!) a frigging steal. You don't pay 30-50 or even 100bucks a month and only get re-hashed/screen-size wasting tools (looking at you, Waves!), or just one host for like 1,5 years, neither does the usability end the day you stop the subscription (AXIS Plugins)... There are quality modules among the bunch, and some misses, with 2-4 new modules or company collaborations as add-on per year...

But in general... 15USD... that's absolutely killer and under-bids the subscription model competition left and right (definitely aims at budget musicians/studios). So there is currently a lot(!) of movement in that section - which is a good thing since "subscription" seems to be all the rage lately.

Now if only Slate would start a "we collect your funds, and after a while you can use up that amount for any plugin you like" system like Xfer Records currently does with the rent-to-own model...

Wonder whether these fit into the VMR rack or stay outside.

Not really. If you do a comparison, no doubt it is really a very good deal.

At 180$/year, you get a shitload of quality plugins for the price of a single midrange to high end plugin. If you live off music, just upgrading regularly your current set of plugins will often cost you more than that. Slate is indeed killing the competition with this offer. They are forcing Waves to reevaluate their joke of a subscription model. I don't even want to mention Flux.

New Slate fx !!!!
