Just got a copy of the new issue of TapeOp and saw an ad for Soundtoys v5. It read like it's available now. No mention of anything "coming soon".
But alas, there is no v5. What gives? Maybe it's a sign that it's any day now? Or a major oops?

I bought V5 on Black Friday. Glad I spent my money 6 months ago. I'm feeling Slated.

It must be close. I'll be jumping onboard now that a physical ilok isn't required. Echoboy and Decapitator are in my near future.

It was already advertised in the previous issue of Tape Op. Still nothing. But V4 works fine here, so I'm not in a hurry.

What a total screwjob this has been.

They still run ads in Tape Op and other mags for V5 and it's still not available. Lame.

I saw 5 at AES last year and The dudes at Sound Toys were kinda not cool with me and my studio manager. Its like they were visibly offended that I didn't give a crap about the V5 rack and then when I asked for juice its like they wanted to ask me to leave. It was super disappointing. YOU GUYS MAKE GREAT PLUGS... make more. Less bullshit.

The funniest thing I've seen is a tour of the Sound Toys facility on YouTube. At the end they were like, "Wanna get on the speedboat? Yeah...we have a boat." So they're crusing around a bay drinking champagne or whatever. I just thought that was so funny, laughing all the way to the bank sort of thing. I didn't know plug in people could be that successful.
I saw something like that with Eve Anna Manley cruising around in some hot rod car too, loved it, she must not be doing to poorly either.

Yesterday Dan (from SoundToys) commented on a GS thread where people were complaining about "the rack" and asking if it were mandatory. He wrote: "You are correct. The Effect Rack will show up as a plug-in in your inserts menu, alongside all of the individual plug-ins. You will be able to load any of our plug-ins as standalones or within the Effect Rack, with the exception of the Little plug-ins, which will be standalone-only. We will not be *forcing* anybody to use the Effect Rack, but we definitely predict that many of our users will start focusing their energy on creating Rack presets (I know that's how I've been working)." It kind of really bothered me that he said the last line... the "I know that's how I've been working" thing. Um, if it's working so well you've been working with it (as opposed to testing, debugging, etc.) why aren't WE able to work in it... 9 months after it's release date !?!?! I sent them a FB message back in April along the lines of "when is this coming?". This was my response. Go figure, fine-tuning/beta-testing. Guess that didn't go so well. |

Finally appears to be out! And it's fantastic! Primal Tap is a very creative killer sounding delay... |

$115 for the update to V5 for me. Nice deal to get the rest of the plugins also.
I don't usually like the rack thing but there are some cool presets using combinations I wouldn't have thought of.

Started in with some sound fx design using the freeze function in Primal Tap...oh my!! Freaking amazingly cool. Synth textures without a synth that are deep and wide.
The freeze function is my new best experimental friend!!

What's the cheapest anyone's seen JUST Echoboy?
This whole suite thing is kind of annoying me. In the history of the audio world, no one has ever made the best everything. I want to pick and choose the best, and that's what they did better than anyone, imo.
