Beta No More? The Beta Plugins You Can't Live Without — Let's Get Them Polished and Official

Hello all,

As many of you probably already noticed, I’m trying to take a more active role in everything to do with plugins, from testing them to giving feedback and mostly trying to move some strings so new creations can move forward and not stay stuck in a limbo before being published or in the beta store (especially when missing only some “simple” things like UI, testing or documentation). A side goal of these efforts of mine is also to allow us to clean up the Beta store.

Therefore, I would like you all to speak your voice!

  • Are there any Beta plugins that you use regularly?
  • Are there any plugins in the beta store that you see as valuable for you and/or could be problem solvers?

If you answered “Yes” to at least one of these questions, I would really like you to share those plugins with me so I can start listing them.

In fact, I’ve already started creating this list. My approach to finding out which plugins could be prioritised was by filtering the most recent pedalboards shared on the Pedalboard Feed using beta plugins. I’ve gone so far as around two years back. Yet, there are a few loopholes in this system 1) some pedalboards were simply shared for troubleshooting reasons and 2) some plugins may not be so important, but have been simply inside shared pedalboards.

Please note that this post is not meant for plugin requests, not even for the plugins that have been recently shared here in the forum and are not on the beta store (those we may take a different route). My question is only directed for the plugins already available on the Beta Store.

Thanks in advance for all your help :slight_smile:

EDIT: for easier mapping, we created a Google survey. Please go there and “vote” on your plugins

Great @LievenDV!

Thanks a lot for your lists and excitement.

Just a little point for clearness, some of the plugins in your list are already in the stable store. I can think quickly of two: Record-Quad Mini and the FATFROG

It would be helpful to have a current list of all beta plugins. Or to enable beta access there.

Regular use :

ALO
MidiDisplay
MrFreeze
Portal Sink/Source
PowerAmpImpulses
PreAmpTubes
PowerAmpTubes
PowerAmpImpulses
Dave Mollen’s TimeWarp

Interested in :

  • pretty much all CALF’s plugins
  • Cozmic

  • Harmonic Exciter
  • Midi Display
  • Mirrorz
  • Morlot Lite Mono
  • ObXd
  • Ratatouille (perhaps it will support A2 models)
  • RkR Mutromojo
  • Seq
  • Stone Phaser
  • Stone Phaser Stereo
  • Tetr4 switch
  • Timewarp
  • Xfade1to2st

I went for what the plugin story labelled as beta so that’s…odd?

Have you all plugins updated?

If you could upload an up-to-date list of beta plugins here, we could check them out and vote at our leisure without having to boot up ModAudio. :slight_smile:

Yep a list in a survey, so you could easily see these most used ?

on my side, here they are :

These aren’t even in the store :
WOW (from @Jacube)
Freezer - freeze your tone forever (from @Jacube)

I clicked updated on the plugin when it said “newer version available”

That’s right! It will also make my work in the end easier.

I will edit the first post with a Google Survey

@LievenDV, @pilal, @Abotte and @Rom, first of all thanks a lot for your shares.

I’ve updated the first post with a link for a survey:

Could you please go there and “vote” on the plugins that you’ve mentioned?

I’m sorry for the double work

I @LievenDV, let’s try a last thing before branching the issue to a new thread. Could you please uninstall and re-install those plugins? Does that fix it?

No worries, it’s done :wink:
