    No comments yet? Cause the plug takes your breath away? Its truely unique. Hail to the producer. Ive not seen anything like this for free… Im waiting for V2…with maybe a little more beat-orientation. eg “freeze” and “seed”-parametres…
    bye

    yes, really breathtaking ,as much as a filtering as a creating tool to tailor and tweak sounds in an incredible way, one of my favourite plugs

    Hi mobylette, the last version (v1.0) is from April 2006. No updates have been released since that version.

    This is an absolutely amazing vst!!!

    I’ve been looking for a freeware spectral processor to get that unique effect from aphex twin’s “windowlicker” album. This goes above and beyond all expectations i had.

    at first the gui seemed a bit intimidating and complicated but after about a half an hour i found it to be very user-friendly.

    I wouldn’t change anything about this other than the delay caused by processing the spectrum, the sound comes about a second after it should, but that’s just a small nuisance for something this powerful.

    This vst is one of my favorites above any other, it even rivals dblue’s “glitch” vst!

    You can set the delay in the top of the GUI, although if you set it too low it will affect the output. If your host allows, you can also compensate for the delay by changing the PDC on the output.

    Very good sound destruction unit , unique sound, interesting GUI.
    I like to use the mono version on stereo tracks. Extremely good on guitar tracks.
    I turn to this plugin time and again when I want somthing high quality with a futuristic sound hardly anyone else has.
    Truly one of the best free plugins around. 9/10.

    i would to like to try out this plugin

  9. Sam commented on Dec 07, 2007

    OMG, it’s fuckin’ wonderful!!! Thanks Darrell, keep up the good job!

  10. Joey commented on Dec 18, 2007

    Never heard of this one until I saw the Mac version announced on KVR just now. Still hadn’t an idea of what to expect but hey! this is one amazing sound creation workshop!

    I was just going to check it out with a simple two bar drumloop, and before I knew it, BAM! half an hour gone!

    Fantastic work! I’d happily pay any reasonable fee to have a GUI on the Mac version, though.

    Please carry on this inspiring work!

    Best,

    Joey

    I LOVE DtBlkFx, as I’m sure you know.

    I am heartbroken not to be able to use the new features in the Mac version. I think I was the first person to completely flip out over DtBlkFx, try to explain it to others, and I’ve used it in many, many songs, and yet have by no means exhausted it’s potential.

    Once again a most profound thanks for this plug-in. It’s simply amazing!

  12. runagate commented on Feb 08, 2008

    Is there any news on the Windows release of this update? Pretty please?

  13. Victor commented on Mar 09, 2008

    The “no GUI” seems to be a problem with Mac OS X: the box with all the controls is too high for my screen. As a result I can with a little luck choose a preset, but definitely can not tweak any controls. Pity, because this thing sounds very interesting.

  14. edo commented on Mar 23, 2008

    I agree with VICTOR. I hope a GUI version for OSX will be released soon or later because this one is one of the most interesting free plugs out there. An AU version would be great too.
    Anyway thank you for this one! Great job!

  15. roby commented on Apr 16, 2008

    i think this plugin rules…. yeah i’m pretty sure…

  16. mattt commented on Apr 17, 2008

    This is one of the best plug-ins going. Free or otherwise.

    thanks Darell.
    i hope mac build with gui will be out soon :)

  18. Michael C commented on Apr 18, 2008

    I wish I could hear it. But this VST will not show up in Ableton Live 6 on my Mac PB G4 running 10.3.9. So much for that…sounds cool thou…

    Hi,

    I can see the potential of this, but honestly I don’t know how to implement it.

    Thanks. God Bless.

    Aaron.

  20. mute commented on Apr 20, 2008

    been using this thing nonstop for 5 years now! glad to see there’s been an update to the vst version :D thanks!

  21. Matteo commented on May 04, 2008

    Any chance you will repost the 1.0 version? The link seems broken…

  22. ronnie commented on May 04, 2008

    Hi Matteo,
    You can download v1.0 here:
    http://rekkerd.org/darrell-bar.....blkfx-v10/

    (I changed the link on that post since it went back to this exact page).

  23. Matteo commented on May 04, 2008

    Thank you VERY much!

  24. runagate commented on May 04, 2008

    I just can’t get over the fact that this is an *improvement*

    I’m shocked. And I love the six slots for algorithms. That alone is wonderful. Maybe only I would “stack” instances of dtblkfx?

    I love it, I really do.
