The thing is, back when all the REmatrix Solo to REmatrix Player migration efforts took place, everyone thought Cakewalk was ending and that they needed to find another brand of DAW to use. So Overloud packed the Solo library up as a licensed option for REmatrix Player so they could take it along with them to their new DAWs. Nobody had any idea at that time that BandLab would step in and continue with Cakewalk. But since BandLab was able to keep Cakewalk and ProChannel REmatrix Solo alive, the Player wasn't really necessary anymore, although the Solo download is available for those with an activation code and a desire to recover the download for the Player. That's about all there is to it...

The Solo impulses should run fine in the CbB ProChannel version of REmatrix Solo.

Overloud made a time-limited offer in 2017 for Sonar Platinum users to apply for unlock codes to the previously bundled Overloud products (ended 1/12/18). If you sent them a screenshot of your Sonar serial they would email you the unlock codes. That's how I got mine, I didn't "buy" anything. https://overloud.com/news/overloud-welcomes-cakewalk-customers http://forum.cakewalk.com/2nd-Update-Request-Granted-and-Delivered-Request-for-Overloud-Sonar-version-products-to-be-made-VST-m3696066.aspx "Please note that REmatrix Solo will be delivered as a REmatrix Library. In fact the Cakewalk REmatrix Solo was a ProChannel module, which is a Cakewalk proprietary format, so it cannot be opened into other DAWs "as is". So, we decided to pack the REmatrix Solo content (i.e. all the IRs and presets) into a REmatrix library that you can use within the free REmatrix Player. REmatrix Player, by the way, is a richer version if compared to REmatrix Solo. The installation instructions are provided in the email messages we are sending now."

The REmatrix Solo library download is freely available here, but apparently requires an authorization code: https://www.overloud.com/installation-rematrix-lib.php?p=2210

Overloud released the Solo impulses so that they would work with the player. They can be downloaded from Overloud site. https://www.overloud.com/node/180 https://www.overloud.com/installation-rematrix-lib.php?p=2210

Craig has been very active with PreSonus since he and Gibson parted ways. Continuing his tradition with Studio One contributions such as tips and a few books...

Those would probably work, as they include 128 WAV files, 44.1 kHz/24-bit. And there are more flavors here. I only have 73 items in my original Anderton Synthetic Impulse Responses folder.

That's the NYC IR pack included in your account with Sonar Platinum.

No, they are quite different. Try the demos... Abyss is a synth. It appears to be based on FM. Novum is a sampler with a granular synthesis engine.

It was waiting for you to recover from the trip!

This is a very good Moog Mini emulation. IMO sounds much better that the Arturia Mini V. There are a few other Mini emulations that cost quite a bit more, from $99-$199. https://www.kvraudio.com/7-of-the-best-minimoog-vst-emulations Cherry kept this model pretty much stock, except for adding polyphony. It's software, so why not? You can turn that off if you are a purist!

Yay!!! Waves has put the online installers for v12 back into Waves Central in this latest update!!! No more offline installer required for them. So I assume v13 would be there as well if I had any of those, which I don't. Everything Waves that I have here now is either v12 or v14, except for one v9 plugin. Not sure how far back Waves Central goes version wise now, as that v9 plugin shows offline install method only. I don't have any v10 or v11 plugins to check.

I have tried the demos for both Abyss and Novum. I'll pass on Abyss, but I'm still waiting for a great deal on Novum... It's a one-trick pony as well (mostly granular pads), but a very special trick indeed!

I got these updates last week, don't see any new ones today.

Well I can use either the $50 coupon, or 50 JamPoints... 😂

Same here. It is likely buried somewhere in years of Craig Anderton's Cakewalk related online posts... Maybe @scookhas seen it?

Ding ... ding!!! "Refresh" is the correct answer!!!

Look in your user folder. You may find that you already have them, like I did. The file names stand out, as they have a different naming scheme from the NYC Showroom IRs that all begin with "BigRoom*****" or SmallRoom*****". The IRs in the Anderton set all start with a number (in msec) or the letter "R" (for reverse) followed by the number.

Copy that! (See what I did there using communications lingo?)

Always wondered what the "cc" stood for... 🤔

A more straightforward method to use after step 3 above: 4. Set MIDI input on "Synth of choice" track to BlueARP. (If you do not see that option make sure that "enable MIDI output" is selected in the VST dropdown in the BlueARP plugin window.) 5. Set MIDI input on the BlueARP track to your controller, or just add MIDI notes to this track. (All notes entered on this track will trigger the BlueARP, and any MIDI notes generated by BlueARP will route to "Synth of choice".) 6. Enable "Input Echo" on both tracks. (Not required on the BlueARP track if you are just playing back MIDI notes from that track, in which case only the "Synth of choice" needs "Input Echo" enabled.) Then play your controller for a real-time arp, or start playback on the Cakewalk transport to use the MIDI notes you have entered.

There is another set of 72 impulses for REmatrix Solo produced by Craig Anderton: Anderton Synthetic Impulse Responses for REmatrix Solo Convolution Reverb https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=NewFeatures.082.html I already had them installed, so not sure from where or when I downloaded them. They don't appear among the downloads in the Platinum installers like the NYC Showroom. It may have either been a one-time special download offered directly by Craig, or they are just part of the Solo factory install.

Hey, good news! I tried using the REmatrix Solo module in the CbB Pro Channel. I incorrectly stated earlier that it was not available in CbB. You can import user IRs into that one! The NYC Showroom impulses just imported fine! See details: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=ProChannel.13.html

REmatrix Solo was bundled with Sonar Platinum. That plugin didn't make the trip over to CbB. But REmatrix Player was recommended as an alternative solution, because it could load the existing Solo IR collection. Edit: I was mistaken about REmatrix Solo. It is included as a Pro Channel module in CbB. REmatrix Player is a more capable VST plugin version of the reverb.

Well it is free. Just not a special deal!
