Sine. Spitfire Player. Soundpaint. Why the heck can't they all just use Kontakt?

Check out the free Foundations companion, Staccato Strings - for Kontakt Player as well...

I'm guessing that you missed EZkeys?

That's what worries me. I have a 10 year old Samsung 40" 1080P that just keeps on ticking. Until it doesn't... 🤨

I spent $500 at the dentist yesterday. I believe I would rather have spent that on a new 4k monitor, with a few bucks left over! 🤣

I would love to try out MPE, but my bank account keeps saying "Hell no". 🤣

Yes it was! And the Korg Software Pass has been updated to version 1.1.11 for Windows. I was running 1.1.7 and there is no automatic prompt to upgrade. It's a manual go get it thing. It clearly looks as if Korg could improve the process. As you mentioned, it is just a front end for https://id.korg.com/users/products

Maybe because additional wave sets don't exist for the original v1 instruments to facilitate re-creating them as pseudo v2 instruments with multi wave sets. I'm guessing that when a v2 instrument is created by IK, that process is enabled by producing additional new wave sets for it. But it would still be cool if the original v1 wave sets are available to load into Syntronik 2 presets! More options!

Does anyone remember the NASA inspired Space Pen? Ballpoint designed designed to write in zero G. Also for writing upside down on Earth. https://www.spacepen.com/ Our History "Even though our founder, Paul C. Fisher, revolutionized the pen industry 20 years earlier with the invention of the ‘Universal Cartridge Refill’, it was his creation of the sealed and pressurized ink cartridge that literally launched the company into space in 1967. Debuting on the Apollo 7 mission in 1968, Fisher Space Pen has been on every NASA manned space flight since. In fact, Fisher Space Pen now has its own permanent exhibit inside the Apollo / Saturn V Center at Kennedy Space Center, which proudly shares our history and products with some three million people a year. Our products have also managed to find themselves onboard the International Space Station and have been utilized by the Russian and Chinese space programs, as well!. "I am proud to continue the principles of accuracy and quality that my father instilled throughout our organization. I’ve tried to instill the same principles in our children and am proud to see them implementing those principles as they work their way up the chain of command within the company.” – Cary Fisher"

The one thing that really bugs me about Reaper is the amount of time users dedicate to tweaking themes. Doesn't anybody use Reaper to make music? 🤣 BTW, the new Neptune theme is nice. I actually like it a bit more than Echolot, which looks too similar to Cakewalk! 😉 Neptune:

Simply put as possible, yes all these new synths will work in Syntronik 2 CS. Syntronik 1 synths will load in as well, but only the legacy features will be available for them. Same as they always were! If you are still confused, it's all Peter's fault! 🤣

@Reid RosefeltAfter you launch Korg Software Pass and have registered your products, they will be listed as shown below. Clicking on any available "Download" or "Update" button will cause that instrument installer to be downloaded to your "Korg software pass folder" (NOT Program Files). That folder may or may not pop open following a download, based on your browser preferences. But in either case, that is where your instrument installers will reside until you move or delete them.

Only 25 more to go till 8 free synths!

From EZdrummer 3 Q&A: "Q: The EZdrummer 3 core library is recorded at Hansa Studios by Michael Ilbert, same as The Rooms of Hansa SDX for Superior Drummer 3. Are the drums the same? Is it the same recording? A: No, the EZdrummer 3 library is an all-new recording featuring its unique kits, tailored to cover as much width as possible from a songwriting perspective. The Rooms of Hansa SDX focused on capturing a very specific selection of rare boutique drums."

Yep! "Although EZdrummer 3 is new from top to bottom, it’s firmly rooted in what has made its predecessor the world’s number one drum production tool for songwriters: to make adding drums to your music effortless, inspirational and intuitive." "In EZdrummer 3, everything from sounds and grooves to software features and overall experience are new, improved and more powerful. Start scrolling for a glimpse of what’s to come." https://www.toontrack.com/product/ezdrummer-3/

@RiccoboniHey, we are just users here, not Cakewalk staff! You may want to drop your suggestion over at the Feedback Loop where it can be seen by the Cakewalk developers. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

Audacity's a good one! My go-to for quick audio editing, even though I have Sound Forge Pro.

Ozone 9 Advanced and Neutron 3 Advanced got updates here.

Only 1 week left to get the pre-order deal!

I don't think there is an update pushed for v1.x to v2.x. You would have to install that upgrade manually. I will wait till NI is ready to roll it out to the masses.

I am a Unify user, have many of Skippy's libraries for Unify, and am a big fan of Skippy's sound design skills. Try to watch his livestreams every Saturday to pick up a few tricks from his demonstrations. I had a KORG X2 workstation back in the 90's. Still based on the synth engine from the M-1, with a few updates. Sold it and bought a Roland JV-1080 rack after I bought my first PC. No longer needed a synth with a hardware sequencer, just the sounds... One big selling point for the X-2 that I recall was a larger sample ROM with a 2 MB multi-sampled piano.

I do seem to recall something about version 2.x being pushed out to subscribers. I'm not a subscriber and my Native Access is current on 1.14.1 (R156).

In all fairness, the M-1 piano is from the late 90's late 80's, and was usable in a mix back in its day. And if producers needed to record a real piano, they probably got a real piano! But compared with modern sampled and modeled piano's - - yep, the M-1's piano is nostalgic cheese! But I will say the the pianos in the Triton Extreme are in a different class. Much nicer, but I still wouldn't buy the Triton just for its pianos either. What is truly useful is using piano in layers with up to 7 other sounds in Triton Combi's to create original piano pads, textures, and splits with overall excellent sound quality. Edit: I mis-typed the year for the M-1. It was actually from the late 80's. Fixed! So there is actually more like a 2 decade difference in sound technology between the M-1 and Triton.

Not really. But definitely turning into iZotope. 🤣
