We got the OK as testers to out ourselves and comment on the plugin. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised. Its not a "Distressor" though it is similar. It keeps a lot of the elements I really like on the Distressors, but has some cool new additions that totally change its capabilities. The attack modification is really on drums in changing the attack tone. Big help when trying to fatten a snare up!! The saturation is killer and can range from far less than the Distressor to all out distortion. I really dont have much for complaints other than the Opto mode missing and the fact you cant dial it in exactly like you can a Distressor. It is a new tool to a certain extent. The new detection side chain abilities are a huge upgrade as well along with the blend knob!! I will have a video out soon, but willing to answer any questions if I can for you guys. I am avoiding the whine fest at GS and would just rather hang here

Thanks for the link. Interesting that they don't have a price up on it yet.

As an aside I wonder what the cpu load with this thing will be? Could give Waves Abbey Road Plates a run for that title

The CPU usage is not hardly even noticeable on my system. That will not really even be a concern for most people.

Seems of upmost concern to HDX investors

Here are a couple videos with sound bites I did with the Arousor. I spent some time matching the Arousor with my pair of Distressors and some other clips showing the Attack Mod and Soft clipping.

Excited about this plug because it's the start of more to come.
