[rickboot]

I don't know how much the UI has improved, but they got the pricing right.

No midi from what I can see

You can't use it unless you install iLok, which is a deal-breaker for me.

Now that it is free, I think iLok is no longer required.

I tried to install it yesterday and it notified me that I'd have to download iLok to run it.

Reading the description of the product and comparing it to how other products present themselves, I can't help but wonder which technology is actually behind them.
Some claim "component-based modelling", some claim "AI-based something", including "AI-based component modelling" or something, so some mix of the approaches.

So how do they actually do it?

Odd. I installed it on my Mac. I have iLok for other plugins, but I did not have to register Tonocracy to my account.

Unrelated, but after typing the name several times, I think the best improvement they can make is to rename it. Tonocracy. Cringe…

From what I read on their website it actually seems to be a combination of white box and black box modeling. So both component-based and ai-based.

As the software can also load NAM profiles, I'm guessing neural net for amp profiles and component modeling for amp-cab interaction.

Yep, that much I figured. Still too vague!
Like showing schematics in amp section and mentioning component-based modelling and then NAM - all too confusing.

You don't have to register it with iLok, but to use it, you apparently do have to have iLok installed, which makes no sense if it's free.

I tried it using the USB 5 input in AXE FX 3 in an empty preset slot and it is actually quite good with many amps.
Not as polished or complete as Helix Native that I have tried, but very good for free.

If Fractal would decide to do a VST I am sure it would be a big success.
