    ppg and largo are are both nks ready so help with GUI issues, if you use KK

    NKS is probably useful if you are playing presets, but not so much if you want to dive into the GUI and actually program this thing. Which is what this legendary synth begs for you to do!

  2. IK's GUI does not seem as well suited for an instrument like this with so many articulation, picking, and strumming options.

    The IK Resonator walkthrough video shows that you have to select and load from a list of pre-configured instruments to access everything.

    For example, the picking styles make use of the SampleTank 4 PHRASER, so a different view is used for that. You load the designated instrument, then click on the ST4 Groove Players icon.

    And in order to access the strumming feature, again you must you load the instrument that uses the ST4 STRUMMER, then switch to ST4 Groove Players, for yet another view.

    Cumbersome workflow? You decide...

     

  3. You get keyswitches and articulations in IK, but no Indigenus GUI like you see in the Kontakt version. Kontakt also offers a solo mode and a chords mode.

    The walkthrough videos on the respective product sites give the details, but here a couple of screen grabs that highlight the major difference in the GUI.

    Hmmm, in the Walkthru video I hear pops in the staccato and tremolo articulations. That's disappointing!

    I want to like this. Listening again....

    Wow, it's really annoying....

    Not hearing that here. Windows audio running at sample rate 48k.

    I too do not understand how to get this to work.

    The online video does not look like my 2.9.9 version.

    The Instructions:

    <<To download and install the expansion bank(s) from within SynthMaster/SynthMaster Player, please follow these steps:

    1. Run SynthMaster/SynthMaster Player (plugin or standalone)
    2. Right click on the plugin window and click on ''Check for Updates'' menu. This will refresh the products list
    2. Click on the 'Browse' button to switch to the Preset Browser page
    3. Click on the 'Purchased' button to list the banks you purchased from us
    4. Right click on the banks list, select "Refresh my licenses" menu.
    5. Right click on the banks list, select "Restore my expansions" menu. SynthMaster will start downloading the bank(s)>>

    There is no Purchased button on any page or right click.

    I see "Bluffmunkey" listed as authors, but no where do I find Darkwave listed.

     

    As the title of the post says "SynthMaster One". Not a bank for SM 2.9.9.

    That procedure that you posted will work for new v2.9.9 banks, l but doesn't apply here.

    Shhhh...! We don't want the IK's download reactivation credit's price to go up. 🙊🙉🙈

    Reactivation credits don't apply to Amplitube, or many other IK software products. You can always download them as often, and for as long as you wish!

    But any downloads under the "Sounds" tab in Product Manager are subject to expiration. So IK reactivation credits only apply to them.

    I've tried to talk Tracy into doing a fretless bass, or any bass with slides. He was resistant, saying the market is already saturated with basses. But imagine a nice-sounding bass that could do glissandos like these can...mmm. 

    I've already got the Ample upright bass... :)

     

  8. I have been wanting to try my hand at "Americana" style for a while. Now gosh-dangit, I may have to try this fiddle, even if I embarrass myself with poor fiddle playing technique. 🤣

    I couldn't help noticing in the demo that @Reid Rosefeltposted, how great the steel also sounded.

    Conundrum: now I want The Fiddle, The Steel, and The Resonator. 🤪

  10. Dear AmpliTube 5 user,

    AmpliTube 5 has been updated to version 5.1.1 for Mac/PC. This new version optimizes various functions and features as well as includes different fixes for issues some users might have experienced.

    We recommend all AmpliTube 5 users update for the best experience.

    Best regards,

    Your IK Multimedia team

    Instructions

    To get updated on Mac/PC, launch the IK Product Manager, go to Manage My Products, and use the Update button next to AmpliTube 5.

    Changes from version 5.1:

    Improvements

    • Fixed Pitch Shifter rack version split mode that had a wrong behavior. Now it splits the dry and pitched signals between left and right channels.
    • Receive channel in MIDI dialog in the preferences window now supports a None option to ignore any incoming MIDI signal from any channel.
    • Fixed Brit Silver wrong push-pull behavior.
    • Updated all Brian May presets containing the Chorus CE-1 pedal that had a wrong behavior causing the presets to be too processed.
    • Fixed X-TIME’s Arctic model that had no delayed signal when BPM mode was active.
    • Fixed a possible crash while drag & dropping pedals.
    • General reliability improvements.

  11. Cakewalk, Sonar, Cubase, and a few others, were all born out of multi-track MIDI sequencers. Later on they added audio via hard disk recording to their feature set, forming the modern concept of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

    But hard disk audio recording for personal computers was originally a separate line of audio only products.

    Digital audio multi-track recording and editing was actually an off-shoot of recording to analog tape. Digital tape decks started appearing on recording consoles, and later computer based programs were available for hard disk recording, such as Digidesign  Pro Tools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Tools , and SAW (Software Audio Workshop). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAWStudio

  12. I have the full Analog Lab 4 and Analog Lab V both installed side-by-side. My AL 4 did not revert to Lite (which I never had a license for), when I installed AL V (as it became available as a free upgrade from AL 4). The actual upgrade to AL V was optional, not forced, as it was only added to my AL 4 license.
