I just went to KVR and spent my way out of having to wait for Bueller to answer that question. I am weak. And I need another hard drive.

How does that work? Do you just get the updated product versions (Kontakt, Reaktor) or anything not in your version of KU that would otherwise be in the regular Komplete? You don't lose anything but gain updates or things that are new to regular Komplete?

Additional strings in CE but not in Ultimate: AMATI VIOLIN GUARNERI VIOLIN STRADIVARI CELLO Uhhh...I think that's the Quartet that was referred to earlier. I don't math much.

Didn't work in Firefox but switched to Chrome and it worked. Sounds fickle.

I'd vote for a $2.96 update from 2.7.

Stop it, Zo!!! I'm trying to save my penny rolls for Studio One 5!!!!

No way I'm looking for Larry...I might leave him with more discount codes than I can afford.

He's just a mile or so down the road from me...but if the guitar isn't wailing, I'll have no way of finding him...

Plugin vendors: the end is nigh.

Welcome back, Larry! Plugin vendors: it's gonna be OK.

The bank buttons stopped functioning a long time ago, so yes!

I've been using my K1 as a MIDI controller from the day I bought an Atar1 1040STE and started down this road. Its right in front of me but I haven't heard its actual sounds in 20 years. Looks like I'll be able to hear it again!!!

Yep - that Portal deal was awesome. I love that plugin like I actually paid full price.

Totally agree, Piotr. I stopped buying rigs months ago - it gets expensive after a while, and some just don't sound that good.

I have Guitar Rig but haven't used it much so I can't really tell how different the CPU typically is but a project I have open at this moment shows 4 instances of TH-U and none of them move beyond 2% CPU hit for the duration of the song. i7 4790, 32 Gb RAM, Studio One 4.6. I haven't found many amp sims that do Fender better than Amplitube!

THU is my main amp sim. I have Neural Plini, Amplitube, S-gear, etc., etc., but it is BY FAR the lowest CPU impact plugin of any own. By a mile.

Plini has some of the most gorgeous clean tones I've ever heard, especially with the reverb and delay plugins that are included.

Here's pullin' for you, sir. The circle of life is both awesome and unforgiving. Control or influence what you can, and observe the rest at a distance with humility and grace. Glad to have you here for however long you want to rejoin the banter or...just be around. That's what I like to think of as the "therapeutic" part of the forum.

Thanks, Kevin. I have a deal on Metal Room pending in KVR for $40; if the update is $29 I'd save a bit of coin and pick up the Marshall cabs, too. CPU is a real problem, though.

All the best to you. I've learned a few things from your posts - everything except which amp sims you DO like but in retrospect, I really appreciate that, actually. Because you're right - its so subjective. And it really isn't that important given the circumstances. So safe travels when they come, and strength when you need it most. I hope we see you back here someday.

Anyone find an upgrade price from Metal Room or other legacy Amp Room product? I don't have an account but might pursue the upgrade path if I find one of those cheap.

Hey, Zo. So I can drag MIDI from a windows explorer window into the bottom of the Song Track timeline in EZB. Midi imported via the Open File option in EZ Bass doesn't work in 1.3 but it did in 1.0. I'm in Studio One 4.6, Windows 10. No drag and drop working from within EZB.

Yes! That's the frustrating part, Zo. They fixed one bug and introduced another.

Sorry, misspoke: this morning I could import both MIDI and audio but the audio only worked if I select the file through the "Select Audio" drop-down. Just updated to the most recent version and still no drag-and-drop AND I can't even select a MIDI file from a project to import into EZBass let along drag it into the UI.

I got a crash in one Studio One project whereI was trying to edit MIDI and it killed the session. Notified Support. I haven't been able to repeat it in other projects.
