In reply to Jeff. It wasn't as good. Oversampling doesn't eliminate all Aliasing, it reduces the Aliasing, and the oversampling on the original Molot didn't reduce it as much.

In reply to heavymetamixer. Does that mean the oversampling in the original didn't take care of the aliasing?

Yes. Finally i can use it, the original version was too complex for me.
Glad the other pros prefer the older gui, as a newbie for me is exactly the opposite.

i liked all of goncharovs stuff and still use it, and i like the tdr stuff, even if its just to PAY back goncharov the respect he deserves for his works. and of course tdr for its consistency

In reply to tylab. More than any other plugin dev? Kindly, respectably, wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. However, TDR does have a few decent limiters and compressors.

I use the molot in form of the C1L1 in Reason as paid Rack Extension and the Sound ist not as full as the sound of c670 from mcdsp or with the fast response of Softubes fet comp, but i know its capabilities for drum shaping and as the most common limiter, with its aliasing overdrive problem.
Thanks for the info with the alpha and sigma mode Caleb. I often use the Transient+ vst with molot behind, amazing combo.

In reply to Harakara.

The strange attack behavior can actually be set up in the new one. I found this from the manual for Molot GE (though the alpha-sigma buttons are in Molotok, too):

α–σ (alpha–sigma) weighting sets the attack curve shape. In “alpha” mode the compressor reacts almost immediately. In “sigma” mode the compressor action is delayed and the attack passes through almost untouched. “Sigma” mode also has less distortion added to the signal.

Tip: If you’re using the compressor for transient suppression then “alpha” mode is recommended. If you’re using the compressor for transient shaping then “sigma” mode is recommended.

Note: “Sigma” mode brings about the sound that Molot is famous for.

In reply to DgU. If you prefer aliasing and strange attack behavior for some unknown reason then stick with the old version. If you prefer good sound quality then take the new version.

In reply to GB. I was talking about Molot, not Molotok >Now, I’m a big fan of the classic Molot design and its Cyrillic lettering
