My one and only collab with Lars

This, exactly. To be Larry's friend in this space is to allow and expect him to drop out as he pleases, for whatever reasons, just as we all get to do. And I'd go just a bit further, asking hey is there a psychological downside to hunting and posting deals all day? Not for me to say what floats another's boat, but that's a whole lot of time spent wrapped in a cyberscape, isn't it? I know for myself, and have seen it in others, too much webbery gets us stuck, wrapped up, poisoned. It's called "doomscrolling" for a reason. So bravo Larry, thanks for what you give to this group. I am eternally grateful! Let your time here be the "break" from whatever else you find more important in life.

All I can say is *****! At some point people are just gonna have to invest a little bit of actual effort!

Fixed again ? Seriously though some times data does show that major shifts in trends. As in like the shake-up of digital photography, just look now at Canon, Nikon mirroless cameras. It is just that I have had some VP's visit from different trades and they had NO idea about the businesses they were helping to run!

Fixed that for you

Sometimes people in charge come up with strange (i.e. dumb) ideas to make it look like they have a reason for being there.

screw that. i ain't wasting time doing that. i will sit and wait until next GB to get full versions.

Triumph - Follow Your Heart

I like turtles.

For any lovers of independent developer free synths (and drum machines and SF players), there's a whole set of them developed by Ronan Fed available here: https://ronanfed.rf.gd/plugins.html I get the impression (from the developer's/artist's YT channel) that at least some of the synths have been out for a while, but only recently advertised more widely (e.g., a recent addition to the KVR plugin list). They're not the poofiest poodles at the dog show, but the price is right and they could be worth a look. I noodled around with the Pneuma sub synth for a bit, and it's fairly nifty, with nice options and on-board effects, etc. Looks like VST3 and Windows-only, though.

https://kilohearts.com/banks $29 $14.50 Mostly Phase Plant presets, but a few also include some new wavetables (Crisis Design, I'mmortal, Suspension), and one (Polychrome) also includes some presets for Multi Pass.

I suspect most of us here know a lot more than we realise about how to use a DAW, and we don't realise/remember what it's like being new to the field of music making. Simple products for beginners are good: they bring people in and provide a bigger user base (and money) for the whole product range.

Sometimes the people in charge have data that shows truths the rest of us don’t see. Just say’n

Just updated from 8 to 9... and paid full price. A bit expensive for a 1 version upgrade, but I will say the Prophet was significantly improved. If you don't already have a high-end piano library/plugin, the Steinway piano is pretty decent. The new effects/modulation options are welcome. Looks like development for Pigments is crossing over into the other instruments. Next, I'd like to see the OB-Xa, Matrix 12, Mini, and Modular redone. ?

You Fixed the boss! Time to get your coat

I believe Bapu subscribes to his Daily Plugin Deals Alert Line... ?

XYZ > YYZ

Kinda contradicting. The CEO is making a straw man. People forget younger generations use phones. He is trying to create another Bandlab (not the DAW) I guess. Sometimes people in charge try to hide ignorance by coming up with strange ideas.

Frank, Thank you very much!? Larry,..... Larry who, I don't know a Larry, ?

Samba Pa Ti!

I found them. They are there. And they are playing. So maybe no update is required and it's just a IKPM glitch? No... not the PM!!

I compared. Mostly a lazy comparision - the factory presets. Ok, I'm lazy. Sometimes the presets sounded almost identical, sometimes a bit different. Sometimes I liked Repro better, other Arturia. But U-He is rev3 and Arturia is modeled on a rev-2, so it really seems like 2 different synths. One funny memory: the patch '25 Trumpet Flute', to me sounds just as flute on Repro, but really Trumpet/Flute on Arturia.

If you contact IK support, there's a good chance they will reset your downloads in this case.

The Prophet 5 and Juno 6 are my favorites with the Oberheim a close 3rd.

Just a little reminder:

Come home.

I just want to know he's doing fine, because I have been following this forum like for 2 or 3 years, and he's very nice (he's given away stuff to me before, and I guess to others?). If he doesn't come back because he doesn't want to, that's just fine to me. It's not like we pay him to post deals.

I see the same thing. There must be some mistake here. I wonder if those old kits do need updating though or whether it’s just a mistake. If they do though, this is truly obnoxious, a step well beyond what was their former (already slightly irritating) policy on this.

It's a great mix of a very cool song: the only improvement would be to not let SoundCloud's sound encoding mash the mix and introduce artefacts into the upper end, but unfortunately that's out of our control ? I had no idea - Larry doesn't tend to share his work.

The Pianos are modeled (not a large sample library). As Abacab mentioned, the virtual-analog synths are component/circuit modeled. The Prophet was ok before. Now, it sounds much closer to the Prophet 5. Had a Prophet 10 for a few weeks... and sold it to buy other gear. It's a simple synth with a single mono out and no onboard effects. Limited by today's standards... but it's fantastic within those limitations. Slightly regret selling it... The Arturia version is just good enough to (slightly) quell the G.A.S.

Thanks PC - as Zok said if you are in touch give him our best wishes and let him know he is missed!

@PavlovsCat Peter please send him a message via fb telling him that he has all our love and support no matter what his decision will be like. It would be cool that we somehow let him know, what an awesome person he is! To us here! Thanks man!❤

A good time for my favorite Damned song! ?

The Damned ~ These Hands:

Larry hope you're doing okay and it is perfectly okay to take some time off from forums. If you're down for health reasons know that you are in my prayer. Peace my good man

Absolutely agree!

Agreed, I miss him....not sure my wallet does ?

This is getting concerning. It's day three since he vanished, I think. I truly hope all is well. Larry is very much like a National Treasure to many of us.
