Chainer

Reviewed By MfLI [all]
December 12th, 2003
Version reviewed: 1.03 on Windows

Quoting the below previews: "Chainer is VIAGRA for VST ..nothing less" -110% true:D

Some additions to them:
USER INTERFACE
Could hardly be more intuitive.

SOUND
For some reason it seems to boost the quality of the instruments used... How in the *ell is this done!?!?

FEATURES
"aMUSEd" writes about the linear chain as an bit of a disadvantage. Well, could be, but let´s be honest here... I had to ask myself: How many times did I wrap multiple synths and fx in a chain without actually creating a hopeless cacophony... I´ve come to see that (mostly) complex modularity is really secondary to sound/fx quality of more simple VSTs. In cases of creating soundscapes I personally prefer to split my project into a few tracks.

The biggest advantage by this plug is that you get to manage your instrument/fx combinations already at MIDI stage with every possible parameter CC automted!

DOCUMENTATION
This is the only part I found a little lacking. However, the intuitve use compensates hands down. Still 10/10 because this puppy is allover worth 10/10 in any case.

PRESETS
The ease of saving your own VST presets/banks and managing the already included presets of included VSTs through one interface is just... Phenomenally cool!

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
No experience except an rapid response to a personal thank you and appraisal mailing:D Anyway... 10/10 because this puppy is worth it allower in any case.

VALUE FOR MONEY
10/10 with "all universal superlatives". Buy it - I guarantee you won´t regret the investment!

STABILITY
Rock solid.

Stay cool n tuned!
