Product details

Structure

The plug-in consists of four essential blocks:

Dynamics-flattener module (one-knob controlled input signal compressor)
Diode-clipper distortion
Three multi-mode filter sections
Optionally activated signal limiter
The plug-in offers nine different connection topologies between its filters and diode-clipper. Filters can process the signal before or after it gets fed into the diode-clipper, but some of the configurations even allow the filters to work alongside the clipper, which greatly increases the possible sonic palette.

Devastor’s filters are not simply the peaking EQ type which are commonly used in classic multiband distortion units: rather, they are like those found in analog synthesizers (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject) with adjustable resonance and cutoff parameters. As a result, Devastor has a completely unique sound. Just check out the factory content and hear for yourself!

Great to see the launch of D16's first (of many, i hope) RE!

[miscend]

Does it have latency?

[PhutureD]

Awesome sound!

[Marco Raaphorst]

Will test it. First impressions are very good. Anti-aliasing setting on the back it seems.

Will test it seriously when I have more time.

[Makis]

Great developer......+1

One thing missing: to phase invert the signal and mix it with the dry signal. Old Tchad Blake trick which I use often on saturation.

There 's a bit of latency, so parallel channels are an issue (which I use for that phase inv trick often).

There is a Dry/Wet knob on the device already so if understand you correctly you would like to have a switch to phase invert the wet sound then blend it with the dry?

Yes phase invert saturation and blend it with dry. That's HUGE!

no separate audio breakouts

no separate audio breakouts

As far as I know it is not possible as the various signal routes may introduce different amount of delay which has to be compensated internally. If Reason will have automatic delay compensation it might be possible.

[joeyluck]

So exciting to have D16 in the Reason rack!
This pairs very nicely with the ABL3 among MANY other things. Also enjoying it on drums and Radical Keys.

Did this trigger the Reasontalk downtime?

VMG-01 Measured:

Init Patch: 146 samples (3,31 ms @ 44,1 kHz), Limiter on: 292 samples (6,62 ms @ 44,1 kHz)

Mmm. Thats

Maybe R9 will have ADC, or quantum psychic bit operations to achieve zero latency.

[phasys]

Fuck that. I bought the VST for 9 euros. No brainer.

[Olivier]

I have to say, on Ultra, its the most powerhungry device i have ever seen...

[dioxide]

Fuck that. I bought the VST for 9 euros. No brainer.

How? I got an email with a promo code but it doesn't work for the RE as far as I can tell. But is wasn't enough to drop the price to €9.

It sounds good but there is one big problem with this device: It does not recall its settings correctly.
The UI is updated correctly (from what I can tell) but the sound settings are wrong.

How did this slip through testing ..?!!

I stumbled upon this after I simply created a Thor, "combined" it, routed it into a new instance of Devastor, played with the Devastor controls, saved the combinator patch, loaded a different patch, then loaded the saved patch again.

There is also a problem with the "init" setting if Reason is set up to _not_ load the default device patch.
E.g. "filter 1 type" is set to "off" according to the UI but the sound engine apparently uses the "hp" setting.
"preamp" sounds like ~27db but the UI shows 0db.
The init patch you get via "reset device" seems to be working correctly, though.

p.s.: recall from a .reason project file seems to work, it may just be the patch loading that's broken
p.p.s.: I just submitted a bug report to D16. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Yes, confirmed. This device is completely broken at the moment. Won't save settings in the Combinator.

Weird that this is not tested at all!

DAM IT !!!!!! I wanted to try this thing tonight! since Propellerheads absolutely refuses to allow paying customers to retry devices ..I'm gonna have to wait to hear a response from D16 and an ETA on a fix before spending my one and only and forever "TRY"...Dam it..Dam it and Dam it !

I still like D16..and wishing on a star for PHOSCYON,Lush 101 and...well...all the rest of there catalog

[Shokstar]

good to know with these bugs, I´m glad that I haven´t started to trial this RE yet

[manisnotabird]

Weird behavior: sometimes when the filter mode knob is set to "off" moving the filter cut-off still has an effect. This can be nullified by moving to the filter mode knob to something else and then back to "off".

[tiker01]

I am sure they will fix any bugs quickly but PH still has to accept the new version of the device. Bare in mind D16 is an Re novice so be patient.
