[ADMIN] Ohmforce deal, some additions
2002-03-20 by Joeri Vankeirsbilck
Hi everyone, I've talked to some Ohmforce guys at the MusikMesse (nice folks btw) and they've extended the offer. They currently have 3 commercial plugins, as we know. If you already own one, then you can still participate in the deal by ordering the two plugins you don't have yet because they will then give you the new MobilOhm plugin once it becomes available (this will still take a while though!). I've also received some questions on the pricing.. Some people are wondering what the total price is. Well, that depends on what versions you order. You can order Pro or Expert versions, so the total price depends on what versions you order. Hematohm Expert version: 59 USD Pro Version: 149 USD Predatohm: Expert version: 59 USD Pro Version: 149 USD The Pro version is the same as the expert version, except that you receive the package on CD, with all versions and all skins. When ordering the Expert version, you get a download and you select the one version/skin you want. The website also states that the Pro price also covers the shipping costs. The deal is going well, but we're not at 30 yet. Keep those orders coming! ;-) Here's the full info again in case you missed it: - Here's the long-awaited Ohmforce deal!! For the newbies: what's a "LUG deal"? A LUG deal is a group buy. The high amount of subscribers on this list allows us to obtain great prices from developers. So, by subscribing to this list, you pay less for your favorite tools! ;-) We've had 3 group buys before on this list. Some brief information on the Ohmforce products. Ohmforce is a small French plugin developer. You can visit their website by clicking this link: http://www.ohmforce.com They currently have 4 plugins on offer, one of those being a free plugin! * Ohmboyz: THE delay of all delays! * Frohmage: an excellent filter plugin (free!) * Predatohm: multiband plugin to warm up, boost and distort signals. Computer Music rated this plugin 10/10 and suggested it was the best distortion available on a computer! * Hematohm: a frequency shifter that can do beautiful phaser sounds to strange vocal effects. Ohmforce (http://www.ohmforce.com) have offered us the following deal: If 30 people or more order both PredatOhm and Hematohm, then they get Ohmboyz for free! The deal is only valid for the Expert and Pro versions. Things to know: - For each plugin, there's a standard version, Expert version and a Pro Pack. The Expert and Pro versions have an extremely powerful midi implementation. They have an "autobind" feature that assigns any controller to any parameter automatically. User midi assignments can be stored and recalled etc. Ever wanted to use your synth's cutoff knob to control the cutoff of the Frohmage plugin? It just takes 2 seconds to set up the right assignment. Full information on the different versions can be found on their website. - Ohmforce has a cross platform policy: all plugins are available on Mac and Win platform. - All plugins have a demo version (see website) and contain good documentation and a good set of presets. - Most plugins have two available skins. The Pro version comes with both skins. If you get the Expert or Standard version, just select the one you like when placing your order. There's a creative, original skin and there's a more functional skin. Check out the demos to see what you like best. - For Windows, you can choose between a DirectX, VST or a WinAmp version. For Macs, the plugins are only available in VST format. (VST versions can be automated in Logic, DirectX and WinAmp versions can't) - There's currently a bug in LAW 4.8.1. (fixed in 5.0!!) The newest versions of Ohmforce plugins can't be loaded (because they have full midi implementation which confuses Logic). To overcome this, you can either get the DirectX version, or even better, you can ask Ohmforce for a midi-less version of your VST plugin (next to the one with midi of course!). Then everything works fine. Logic 5.0 does not have this problem. You can obtain the midi-less version by mailing Ohmforce directly after buying the plugin. - There is a known incompatibility with specific input-devices on Mac: some trackballs and tablets don't work correctly with Ohmforce's current range of plugins. - Payment options can be found on the website. How do you participate? Very simple: during the next two weeks, you send an email to joeri@... with the following things: 1. Make sure the subject line contains OHM so I can filter the mails correctly. 2. Your Ohmforce user account name. Don't have an Ohmforce user account yet? Just go to their website and make one. 3. Your order. (Expert or Pro versions?) 4. Any specific wishes (midi-less versions etc) The offer is valid for two weeks (until 27 March). Once those two weeks are over, I'll deliver all data to Ohmforce and then you place your order via the website. Because of the data you've provided to me, they'll know that you're included in the deal and they'll give you your third plugin for free. For questions, please contact Joeri off list: joeri@...
