Yep. I got the Gem Mod Dimension plug-in as a free download when Overloud offered it several months ago - it's well worth downloading, and more versatile sound-wise than the DimensionD hardware. However, for me the default presets don't get as close to the Mode 1-4 sounds as they could, so I created four additional presets of my own that more closely match them - here they are if anyone's interested (text file included with details on how to install them): YewTreeMagicGemModpresets.zip (3.08 KB) Martin |

I have the UAD version and the Sound Toys version. What puzzles me is why UAD stands on ceremony and makes a plug-in like the Dimension D but leaves out a blend knob. It's a one sound, use it or lose it thing. With the Soundtoys plug I can dial in the amount of effect and it works so much better that way. I don't want to be bothered creating a bus or crowding my DAW just to send the track there to control effect levels.
After all, it's digital not analogue, and not using that to improve the way a plug-in functions seems strangely tone deaf for a company as savvy as UAD.
Just took a look at the Overloud plug and it has a speed, depth and amount controls, as well as some other features. This proves my point. I'm sorry I spent one dollar on UAD's version when I didn't know better. This shit makes me less and less fond of UAD and some of their boneheaded policies. Why not modernize the plug-in and just give the customers who are locked into their ecosystem a free upgrade, heaven forbid.

Agreed - I've got the Overloud Gem Mod, DDMF ERS_DimD, and even got passable DimensionD sounds from the ValhallaSpaceModulator plug-in, and all three provide a Mix control.
All you can say in UAD's favour is that the DimensionD is a subtle effect (particularly in Mode 1), so using it full-on is feasible.

Ya, I find UA mostly too much, want subtler.

Got the free plug, gave it a one minute look and it seems fantastic. Way more useful than the UAD version.
Thanks Kcat.
