Thanks for the listen and the comments. For sure the snare drum is much too bright. I have four drum synths playing the snare part (pretty much everything except the vocal and the Desolate Guitars Fragment part in the beginning is being played with multiple instruments with minor variations in MIDI velocity and placement) and just a minor change in the balance can have major consequences in the sound. I wish I had listened to the exported file before I uploaded it or I would have redone the mix before posting. I know the panning is off but that was a conscious decision that probably didn't work the way I wanted it to. The guitar solo, or as I think of it, the interlude, over the verse is made up of me playing the same part six times as well as being doubled by two synths playing the same line. I spent a lot of time on that and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. I always have a hard time mixing my vocals. Maybe because I'm too focused on getting the lyrics across instead of how it blends in. Thanks again for your comments and I will keep all of them in mind when I get back to that project. It is still very much a work in progress.

It is nice seeing something like that and especially with it not being so commonly given away like many of the freebies tend to be. Here's hoping for more of the series

Full Bucket Music releases FB-02, a free emulation of the Yamaha FB-01 module https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fb02.html

If you haven't used the code yet, you can get this for about $1 or so, with code: PIBINDIAPITCH https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/24-Sequencer/12681-Rhythm-Box

It is better not instantiate 2 or more surface plug-ins of the same type, so 2 Mackie is looking for troubles. One option, if you really want 2 Mackie: Another option is to use different plug-in ("Cakewalk ACT", "Generic controller", "AZ Controller"), they should be sufficient for transport.

Even sweeter with some of the gifts to choose with it, especially the Moog MoogerFooger MF-103S

I've noticed that the "shift drag" is not working in any project. I can hold "shift" and then click and drag a clip but it doesn't lock the clip horizontally in time. I'm still able to move any clip right or left. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? Thanks!

Oh get this, get this. One of the more underrated sound design tools, I think. Absolute powerhouse, very useful presets and top notch A|A|S sound.

Wow, that EW Passion choir is some freebie. Pretty pretty good. Do not hesitate.

You can put it where …

Let me ask: Do you think that makers of virtual gear [aka plug-ins, such as instruments and FX] will charge new / higher amounts of money for MIDI 2.0 compliant virtual gear [both new virtual gear and recompiled/retooled gear]? Do you think the makers of virtual gear will consider any such MIDI 2.0 compliant products to be new products? Do you think that the older products will be discontinued, no longer supported, crippled, proclaimed as end-of-life / legacy products, etc.? From what I read, MIDI 2.0 is not intended to replaced MIDI 1.0; from what I saw as recently as today, it is intended to exist at the same time. That being said, as some consumers clamor for MIDI 2.0 compliant products, do you think that the laws of economics (as we have come to know them), will in reality make all non-MIDI 2.0 compliant virtual gear obsolete, worthless, and possibly crippled / non-functional for all practical purposes? I cannot imagine that making new products (or just retooling old ones), will not be without significant costs, and I cannot imagine manufacturers of MIDI 2.0 compliant products won't be interested in having consumers pay for these costs. I really don't know the answers (i.e., what are the makers of virtual gear likely to do), but these are some of my concerns.

Yes, it's always good to have options. 14 bit MIDI controller values (one of the perks of MIDI 2.0) have been available even with the MIDI 1 spec. Pitch Bends are 14 bit, as are RPNs and NRPNS. For instance, if you open up the PRV of a MIDI track that is routed to a synth that supports automation, then open the NRPN controller lane, you will see listed all of the automation parameters. I believe those are all 14 bit. You can even edit them like you would any other Controller Events. I have used NRPNs and RPN for years (I have an external synth that supports them for many parameters).

I hear you. I have no idea how many VST synth users are using midi controllers, but if they are, it is nice that there are midi 2.0 midi controllers coming out, like the Roland.

Thank you so much for posting this as I would have missed it. Settled on UJAM Piano for $9 as I dont have anything like it but would have spent $9 on the free EastWest offering alone!

Thanks, I know...but I never know if the current icon is on or off.

Thks guyz , V9 here and 69 , i seen once 49 and didn't jumped so i was like maybe V collection last version are the luky ones ./ I plan on getting the astrolab 37 maybe hence my possible move .... also fx collection for 99 from V2 , the new goldfire and granular ones are really great fx .... As for the v colection cpu hit on thier last one is stupid exept the j8000 exellent and optimised , but the uagmented thing and lofi , while sounding superb are cpu hogg .... the astrolab will resolve the issue ...

It doesn't look like Sonokinetic is doing their 12 days sale. Last year it was advertised mid November. So I jumped on this one since you probably wont see that price.

You fixed it. The bass string click is gone. Great work, as always.

@Larry T. I think I found what you are talking about. There is bass string noise that kind of clicks. Good thing you brought this up because soloing the bass track I found some badness that I had to fix. I can't fix the Youtube video but I made a soundcloud track. Let me know if you hear anything, you have better ears than me!
