Re: Ekssperimental Sounds SPACEXPANDER - FREE Spring Reverb
Posted: 27 Mar 2021
Thanks to the developers!
Only thing added is the tube type amplifier on the input and the the filter(s). It shouldn’t consume much of cpu, but I’m not sure how optimized Gorilla Engine is. I’ve used the same stuff in other REs and none has been particularly heavy on the cpu, but i guess RV7000 is super optimized. Reason is known for being cpu friendly.

You can get the samples (and a few additional ones) for $7 directly from Past To Future - so if cpu power is an issue I suggest you go get them!
You can upgrade to the newer version which has the IR panel on the front. I did this recently, I think it was $9.00TheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑29 Jun 2023I've grown to really like this Re.

Yep it was initially because of aesthetics, but when the idea came up to release a paid version with more impulses and tube trim on the rear he managed to add selection on the front display panel.TheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑29 Jun 2023I've grown to really like this Re.

But, from the day it was released, I wished it had the IR selector on the front because I wanted to be able to have a knob on my combinator guitar fx chain/rig for easy browsing while jamming. I have things set up so that I can cycle through different amps/cabs, with knobs for gain, compression, reverb mix, etc, all in one place so that I don't have to go scrolling through the rack to adjust all these things while I'm in the zone. And while having to flip the rack around to change the IRs isn't a HUGE deal, it just seems unnecessary and does break my flow a bit because you must use the mouse, rather than just turning a knob on my midi controller.
So, I ended up buying a VST spring reverb unit, not just to have a variety of choices, but also because I can assign a combinator knob to cycle through all the different IRs. But I would have rather stayed within the Re ecosystem.
I still am going to keep using the spacexpander, because I love it. I think it's underrated too. But I sure do wish the IR selector was on the front. At one point on some thread, I did inquire about this, and Ekss responded with their reasoning behind doing it that way, which I believe was mostly about aesthetics, but I'm not entirely sure.
Anyway, I still love this Re, but is there any chance Ekss you might consider making that change? Does anybody out there feel the same?
PSP springbox and necklace are my favourites.Steedus wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023Yep it was initially because of aesthetics, but when the idea came up to release a paid version with more impulses and tube trim on the rear he managed to add selection on the front display panel.TheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑29 Jun 2023I've grown to really like this Re.

Btw, what VST did you get? Audiothing's Springs is a great one for me.
Weird. I don't see an option to upgrade to any newer version. Yes, I got it when it was $9, or was it free at first, and then the price when up to $9? I don't remember. Either way, all I see in the shop is the download button. I am confused.dvdrtldg wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023You can upgrade to the newer version which has the IR panel on the front.

I agree, a fantastic reverb

I am not seeing a newer or different version.

I almost got it, but I snoozed too long and missed the sale, plus I spent enough on other things (ES400 FM Synthesizer, Friktion, Efektor Bass Distortion Bundle, Transcendent 2000, Objekt).
SpaceXpander is one of my faves too, sometimes I'll dubplicate the output of Echoboy and send the duplicate to spacexpander for that extra spaciousnessTheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023I almost got it, but I snoozed too long and missed the sale, plus I spent enough on other things (ES400 FM Synthesizer, Friktion, Efektor Bass Distortion Bundle, Transcendent 2000, Objekt).
So maybe I'll get in in the next sale. I really like Ekssperimental Sounds. I think all their stuff looks and sounds great. One of my favorite developers.
Go to My Account, My Products, Rack Extensions and type SPACEXPANDER in search it should appear with an option to updateTheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023I am not seeing a newer or different version. I am baffled at the moment All I see is the download button in the shop.
Yeah I got the Audiothing Springs and it is excellent. BUT, I havent even had it for 10 hours, and I've already had some kind of Reason exception error! FRIGGIN VSTs!!!! I wasn't even surprised, because I also have some IK Multimedia plugins I got last year and more than one of them crashed WITHIN MINUTES of first use. Since then, I've just stayed away from them. So, a complete waste of money for me. I believe it was one of the T-Racks eqs and a dynamu compressor that were just buggy from the start. But I digress.
Auryn, you DO love your echos and delays. I remember. And in fact, you are partially the reason I have gotten more into delays in general. When you do that remix of my track, it became clear to me that I should be having more fun using them.
Ok, I swear to you, I am still not seeing any option to update! I have the latest version! All I see is the download button; both on the product page, and in the My Products Rack Extension page.Arpeg wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023Go to My Account, My Products, Rack Extensions and type SPACEXPANDER in search it should appear with an option to updateTheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑30 Jun 2023I am not seeing a newer or different version.

Maybe you have the update but don't realise. The option to change IRs on the front is rather stealthy. Do you see a letter on the left side of the patch name display?TheGodOfRainbows wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023Ok, I swear to you, I am still not seeing any option to update! I have the latest version!

And just to be clear here, are you guys saying that there IS actually a version that lets you change the IRs on the FRONT panel?! If so, then I can't imagine what is going on.
I mean, there is nothing mentioning this in the product description, nor is it reflected in the images on the product page that shows you can change IRs on the front. So.....I am nonplussed. What is happening to me!?
