Arkin Tongco

Arkin Tongco (born July 1, 2006) is a Filipino logo editor that joined in 2016. He was also active on Dailymotion during March until November 2016 when he moved to Youtube. 
He was known for making insane effects that are sonically and visually different from other logo editors back in 2016-present, even though his effects were too hard to identify the steps on making his effect back then in 2016 due to lack of instructions.
He's also notable, being the early bird of logo editor that used 4ormulator, Orange Vocoder, 4ormulator, VOCOTRON, ERZATZ and etc. VSTs more earlier than other logo editors. (ex. dailymotion/yt vids, 2016/2017)https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4udxyoDailymotion unprivated all private videos in 2017 and so the upload date got modified.
Also known for its notoriety about the controversial copyrighted Ring Mod Vocoder 4.0 effect, he essentially has applied the effect multiple times in multiple videos, even adapting it to 4ormulator version.
=== History ===
He started logo editing in March 2016 using AVS Video Editor, at the same month he started using Sony Vegas Pro 11.0, later version 10.0 due to download issues on the website, all of his videos were privated on Dailymotion until April 2017 when Dailymotion has unprivated all of the videos uploaded on its website.
On November 15, 2016, he moved to Youtube where starts uploading videos on its website, however he had 2 accounts (the first account was disabled due to setting up the birthdate which it causes to disable its account), at the same month he got the Logo Editing-style watermark temporarily. This would be later used again in another style called "Circle Nexa 1.0" series watermark.
On December 4, 2016, he started making his own effect series which was insane and very different from every logo editors because of those complex effects used on Sony Vegas Pro (note: NO FX PLUGINS!)
In 2017, it is noticed that one of his videos were using Sapphire FX Plug-in which is noticeable that he's trying Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 which was the requirement of that version oof Sapphire.
At the same month, he got the NewBlueFX Plug-ins which his effects were getting more crazier.
On September 2017, his effects get more insane as he got the version 6.10 of Sapphire FX Plug-in which he uses currently along with the same version of NewBlueFX.
On December 2017, he took a break and decided to upload Black MIDI videos.
On September 23, 2018, it is noticeable that he starts to upload a logo editing video once.
On March 2019, he came back at uploading logo editing videos, at the same time he starts uploading ROBLOX videos.
On March 2020, his uploading schedule was affected due to COVID-19 closing its computer shop businesses where hes editing the logo editing videos on those places.
On September 2020-February 2023, he came back partially at uploading logo editing videos but much lesser due to chores/conflicts/problems.
On May 18, 2024, he came back as a logo editor, but at the same time his style/behaviour drastically changed, and is now more mature, his effect style remain the same, although it is more on trendsetting effects now. 
After 7 and half years, his effect series is back as "Arkin's Revamped Effects", although some of his old effects were revived.
=== Conflicts ===
==== Ring Mod Vocoder 4.0/SoFiA EpIsOdEs 0 ====
On July 2024, when he viewed at other logo editors' community tab and saw SoFiAEpisodes0 about it, he was absolutely mad on how he handles about copyright infringement. Arkin has been saying that "he can be sued by Prosoniq and Zynaptiq" (a company that created Orange Vocoder), stating he can get charges/lawsuit for abusing the copyright infringement over the custom preset he has made on Sony Vegas Pro and Orange Vocoder that he doesn't own. (to be specific: he didnt code sony vegas/orange vocoder and released it)
At the other allegations, he was also furiously mad, stating that "he's delusional for saying that".
At the swatting allegations, he has once been mad again, but still commenting about the copyright infringement Sofia's abusing of.
On September 7, 2024, the birthdate of SoFiA EpIsOdEs 0, one of his effect called "Block Train Pyramid" got the instructions leaked and guessedHe identified the properties of this effect, it is still considered a leak as it was never given to the public. by Arkin Tongco. More effects even got leaked weeks later.
