I love using the XY modulation pane to draw the sonic movement I want to hear. MicroFX are so easy to use and help to build a unique sonic identity. The effects become a signature part of the performed instrument.

First Impression: Three exciting new creative effect plugins. It’s nice they went for something simple and hands-on instead of a mega FX with a trillion parameters. The X/Y pad engine also looks like a lot of fun.
