The new synths are 100% Syn2, and include wave sets and editing ability. The 22 updated synths add Syn2 presets in addition to the original Syn1 presets. So they are now a hybrid of v1 & v2. All Syn2 presets include wave sets and editing ability. I can hear a big improvement in the sound quality when using the Syn2 presets!

No need to buy it! I don't think there is any difference in the Syntronik 2 program vs. the Syntronik 2 CS, as you are getting all of the Syn2 instruments through the Group Buy! I have all of the features in the CS version!

I have the same, and I am seeing all of the wave sets in the Syn2 instruments.

🤣

Not sure how this feature exactly works in the Focusrite Console, but probably worth checking out. It does random channel assignments as claimed. (From the manual) Console Channel Numbers L&R (TMT Section) Switches between 72 different Console Channels. In a Stereo instance, two adjacent Channel numbers will be displayed. Each channel has its own, different character! This is achieved by including about 150 resistor and capacitor tolerances in the modeling which correspond to the real-world component tolerance ranges, as specified by the component manufacturers and / or the hardware designers. TMT is Patent-Pending, a true Brainworx invention. Random One Only the plugin instance you click on will switch to any unused channel number in that session randomly. Random All If you have many channels of bx_console Focusrite SC running in your mix session, you can make sure to be using different channel numbers for every single instance with a single mouse click now! In most hosts you can add a copy of the same plugin to every channel with a keyboard shortcut (for example click ALT on a Mac to put a bx_console plugin on every channel of your Pro Tools session automatically). Imagine opening 48 channels with one click and then randomizing all the channel numbers with a second mouse click. Done. Tip: One very cool way of using the RANDOM ALL feature is to finalize a mix and bounce it, then save the whole mix session. Now you can play back the song and click RANDOM ALL a few times on any instance of bx_console Focusrite SC, and you will notice that the “timbre” or tone of your mix will change ever so slightly, depending on the use or abuse of the individual EQs and Dynamics, of course. The more processing you apply, the more obvious the differences become. Now by clicking through different randomized channel combinations you may actually find one that sounds a bit darker or brighter, a bit punchier or smoother than your original mix. Why not save 1 or 2 alternative mix sessions and bounce them, so your client can choose between 2 or 3 different “flavors” of the otherwise identical mix?

It's a leak.

47 to go until 21.

I really didn't pay much attention to the Arturia Prophet, as I already had the u-he Repro... Asleep at the wheel, I suppose.

Some History We’re proud to welcome Focusrite’s famous console to our platform. The birth of Focusrite began in 1985 when Sir George Martin, otherwise known as the fifth Beatle, approached Rupert Neve to inquire about custom modules for AIR Montserrat. His studio regularly saw everyone from Paul McCartney, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and countless others. George discussed with Rupert a design for a top of the line mic pre and an EQ with low noise and an extra wide bandwidth with the main goal of it being as musical as possible. What came out of this vision was the ISA-110, featuring transformer-coupled mic pre amp with a four band EQ and highpass and lowpass filters. Word travelled fast and these standalone units could sound be found in studios across the planet. With the massive success achieved by the ISA-110 and the companion ISA-130 compressor/limiter/de-esser module, a ton of orders quickly emerged. In the late 80’s Focusrite spared no expense when working on their ambitious studio desk but as costs rapidly reached astronomical levels, the rights to the console were acquired by Phil Dudderidge of Soundcraft Electronics and the Focusrite Studio Console was finally completed by his team. From the work on ISA-110 and ISA-130, Phil’s engineers crafted equally successful designs, the ISA-215, 220 and 430. Since then, the Focusrite Studio Console has gained an enviable reputation for dynamic punch and clinical equalisation and firmly established itself as the mixing desk of choice in studios all over the world. The list of records made on this desk includes everyone one from Green Day, No Doubt and tons of others.

My faves so far outta that bundle are the Oberhausen, Black Box, and Masterdesk. Haven't played with the console yet, but that Focusrite looks like a doozy!

I'll have to check that out. Didn't ever notice any dual layer Prophet 5/VS presets before...

No, I got the full version v1.6.0 free with the Soundwide Welcome Bundle. Never had the lite version...

V1 was worth every penny as a freebie! I've started putting this across my master bus in every project. It's THAT good!

I'm not a lawyer, but it's been a fairly common practice to use the sounds provided in a product any way that you see fit, as long as it's in YOUR own music productions. The legal problems would likely begin if you tried to distribute the sounds "as-is" as sample packs or otherwise, or develop software using a modified version of the licensed software. The Arturia license agreement only seems to be concerned with the software itself, such as this "No Unbundling" clause: But as you say, customer support should be able to clear up any doubts. But I wouldn't personally be losing any sleep by using the sounds to make music with.

Somewhere along the way, AIR released revised installers that placed an older version of the Pace iLok client on your system, regardless of whether you already had the latest iLok installed. These did not play well with Windows 10 and created a lot of reported issues such as yours. There was a big to-do where Plugin Boutique had to pull all the affected downloads until AIR got it fixed. You will notice that the AIR Music site now has 2021 updates for many of those installers, listed as: "performance enhancements for Windows 10".

There are easier ways to get samples. For one example, Computer Music magazine releases GBs of sample packs every month.

There are roughly two schools of thought for installing VST2 plugins... Let the installer put them wherever they want to. Then locate every existing VST2 folder path and make sure they are added to the DAW plugin scan paths. Use one common VST2 plugin folder, and ensure that EVERY plugin installer uses that one. Set that path as the DAW plugin scan path.

Bingo! And now 81 more to 20 free!

Well, that's interesting. The samples for Augmented strings are stored as common *.wav files, rather than encrypted files, as many companies use for their proprietary sample libraries. They open in any wave player, so I guess you could use them anywhere that you might import samples to. For example, Pigments! Found them here on my PC (I keep all of my Arturia content installed on a separate drive): "D:\Arturia\Samples\Augmented STRINGS\Factory\Samples"

Ha! Guess what? I did just that using the free Musescore 3 notation editor! It can import and edit tab files, and export them as MIDI and/or musicxml. https://musescore.org/en https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tablature https://chaidarun.com/musescore-tab Here's an example of a Bass tab I found online in GP format, that I exported as MIDI from MuseScore, and opened in the DAW. Works great! https://freeguitarprotabs.com/

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere. I recently updated the Freeware Instruments thread and the Favorite Freeware FX thread with these details...
