Came back to report that I cannot get the Sunset Sounds collection to show as activated within MixBox. Even though the collection shows as registered in my account. I have even tried re-authorizing it, and re-installing MixBox. No luck yet!!! 🙄

bx_masterdesk v1.6.2.0 (not True Peak) vst2/vst3 not crashing Cakewalk 2022.06 here. And I even tweaked every knob and button in the GUI. Sorry if that's not much help. Windows 10 Pro 21H2, patched up through May 2022.

Look at your available upgrades/crossgrades in your IK account. I have T-RackS SSR. In the cart for $9.99, total out the door price with 3 JamPoints is $6.99, + $0.51 sales tax = $7.50.

Unfortunately, not everyone's monitors use the same resolution and scaling. But you would think IK could use some intelligent way to detect the hardware in use and adapt their UI for the best presentation...

Updated to v1.5.0 for Windows: Implemented a UI optimization that could improve text readability General reliability improvements. Running OK here so far. And the new modules are not in your face, LOL! The missing modules are gracefully grayed out in the reverb module selector dropdown menu.

Version 1.5.0 [PC/Mac] You will get 180 new sounds. Open your browser and access the V1.5 bank. [PC/Mac] Output Gain parameter is added in the Global settings. The default value is 3 dB. [PC/Mac] The synthesizer engine, including the physical modeling engine, has been further refined and adjusted to more closely resemble the original hardware. https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/articles/4402451825689-Prophecy

Run KORG Software Pass to update. There are 180 presets in the new v1.5 bank!!!

Details?

Check out Pianobook, a free community driven collection started by Christian Henson of Spitfire. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ Free: 1025 sample packs by 480 samplists. Some have made their way into LABS, but you can check out the Pianobook sample collection here. By sampler format: Kontakt EXS24 Decent Sampler SFZ Overview by Cameron "Venus Theory":

I'd say the MixBox is pretty cool & versatile without the Sunset Sound modules. I have the T-RackS version of Sunset Sound if I need that stuff!

LABS ain't for Kontakt, LOL!!! LABS has its own player: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/?sortBy=prod_products_labs_latest

Gotta be quick on the deals around here! Don't hit the snooze button or the deal may be gone! 😂

It's a Dandy!!! 😜

Dang! Beat me to it! Larry, go play with your new computer!!! 🤣

I used to use that one, but found that Treesize is much faster, and can access system and hidden files better.

I would stick with VST2 for now if that works better. Or else load up a multi with MP2 instruments in SampleTank4, as I doubt that IKM plans any more updates for MP2. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 Latest Release On: 27-01-2020

Good luck! Blackhole is a must-have for sound design, IMO!!! Got a great deal on that a few years ago!

Reaper is very resilient, but not bulletproof. I use it as a test DAW, but it's not my main rig, so I've never tried it with any large projects. But it has often worked better for me with some flaky plugins than any other DAW! Is it crashing Reaper using a simple Philharmonik 2 project, or just with a full orchestra multi? Is it crashing with VST2 or VST3? I saw on another post that you mentioned you were using Windows 11. Did it also crash on Windows 10? You probably want to go ahead and get a ticket open with IKM support. If it's crashing Reaper, it's likely going to be the plugin misbehaving, IMHO. FYI: You can also load the Philharmonik 2 library via SampleTank 4. That is more modern software, and the newer plugin may have performance improvements that function better in Reaper.

Keep that M.2 slot chilly!!!

Well, if you already own other orchestral libraries, you may want to consider whether you really NEED it. But it does have some nice solo strings that a few libraries lack with string sections or ensembles only. And a nice percussion section (in the included MP1 folder).

MP2 is legacy SampleTank 3. I didn't include the version number in my post, but was referring to the current offering of Miroslav 2. SampleTank 3 is a legacy product. The original MP is even older, and you need ST3 to import it. You cannot bring the original MP directly into ST4, although there is a folder of MP1 instruments included in MP2. Tip: when you load a ST3 based instrument such as MP2 into ST4, the editor will display "Legacy ST3" directly beneath the zone button.

Update good here. Still annoying that you cannot hide the locked basses that you do not own. Even more so that IK places the locked basses starting in the 4th browser slot, so that you have to scroll past all of the locked basses in order to reach the remainder of your unlocked basses. 🙄

Thanks! Apparently still waiting for the IKM email! 🤣

Miroslav is a legacy SampleTank3 based library, that will load and play in SampleTank 4 if desired.

Run HWMonitor. It shows all available temp sensors, including the mainboard.
