Initial impressions are good! The dynamics control is really cool for squashing drum loops. I would have liked to see solo buttons for each filter but maybe there are reasons why that couldn't happen. Multiple outputs would've been nice too but it's not a huge thing.
Can't say I've experienced the lack of setting recall yet but I haven't tested it too thoroughly yet. Will do tomorrow though! It's just teething problems, although it would be nice if the trial period could be reset once the problems are fixed as I imagine this will stop a lot of people from really assessing it.

Bugs are a problem but holy shit, this thing slays
Beautiful device! But aren't the filters very similar to how Alligator is setup? And do you not mean to say they use synth filters rather than standard crossover filters (you said other multi band devices use "Peaking EQ", which is like the SSL EQ and others)? Anyway, can't wait to try this one out!tiker01 wrote:Devastor2 from D16 is in the shop

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!

Hmmmm, had a go, rather subtle in the sense that what I usually look from distortion devices is a lot more "in your face" kind of a thing. Saturation, yes, like it for that (sounds good), will likely buy when it is on sale.

Two big differences are that Alligator is locked to HP/BP/LP and in parallel. D2 allows each filter to be a set type and you also have a set of algorithms (like you see on the image, first F1 then F2 and F3 in parallel, etc).selig wrote:Beautiful device!

I really would have liked the option to set filter type for each line in Alligator. A user pattern mode would have been nice too.
I think the better comparison to Devastor is Etch Red.
Etch Red has as well a very good Diode-clipper distortion and two filters. The clipper can be as well before or after the two filters.
At the end there is as well a Compressor/Limiter.
I own Etch Red and will compare it to Devastor but I would be very interested in your opinion.

Thanks for the additional info, I'll have to check this out when the dust settles.eXode wrote:Two big differences are that Alligator is locked to HP/BP/LP and in parallel.

why is the VST so much cheaper? should be the same imo. or better: get a license for any daw.
ok, I know it's not an ideal world. but still... I would do that myself.

The VST is the same price from what I can tell. The VST is listed as €39. It sounds like folks are talking about a coupon code for existing customers...possibly owners of Devastor1?
In dollars, the VST is more @ $49 vs. $39

Price 9 Euro is only for registered owners od Devastor 1 and this is time limited offer. I got this email too:
" With this coupon you can buy Devastor 2 for 9 Eur (if purchased until November 22nd, 2015)
or 25 Eur (if purchased between November 23nd and December 31st, 2015). The coupon will expire after December 31st, 2015, so hurry up! "

Has the developer responded through email...to anyone regarding the issues some are having?
My opinion is that Propellerhead REASON needs a complete rewrite!
P.S: people should stop saying "No it won't happen" when referring to a complete rewrite of REASON. I have 3 letters for ya....VST

Looking forward to giving this a whirl when the fixes are in. Also, on a slightly flippant note, am I the only one who calls this devastator in my head?
This made me laugh, especially when I realised that I had never noticed, that it was not actually called Devastator, till you pointed this out! My mind was blown!Tincture wrote:Looking forward to giving this a whirl when the fixes are in. Also, on a slightly flippant note, am I the only one who calls this devastator in my head?

Wait... what?!
Mind = blown indeed!
It's an optical-linguistic illusion, I guess...
