The full VC updates sure do spray a few icons onto your desktop, LOL! That's why I keep a folder on my desktop called "Instruments". I always sweep new instrument icons into that folder. Out of sight, but one double-click away!

Analog Lab V V 5.5.1 Improvements: Default Midi config has been improved Preset switching / loading has been improved Updated "Discover similar presets" feature to be more efficient Updated velocity curve sensitivity for Piano V3

Do you have VC8, Analog Lab V or Pigments? The FX were not updated as far as I can tell.

Release notes are in the ASC. Looks like bug fixes.

I just opened my Arturia Software Center and there are 27 updates available here. Looks like they are for Analog Lab, Pigments, Augmented Strings, and most of the V Collection 8, excluding the synths that were updated for VC9 (CS-80 V, Piano V, and Prophet V).

That was just an attempt at humor, but I cannot imagine that level of modelling not being computationally expensive.

Page 118 has an interesting DAW workshop article regarding some workarounds to get Studio One to talk General MIDI. IMO, it still looks like Cakewalk with the aging TTS-1 GM synth (or external synth) is a better option for that!

Gear lust 4-ever!

Everyone want to rule the world. (Their keyboardist owned the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Fairlight CMI, Roland Jupiter 8, Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and PPG Wave. So no telling what was used on this track. Classic mid-80's synth pop).

Hurry up! Get in!

Updated!

Like Ableton Live, but different?

I suppose I will be patiently awaiting the next sale. For just.one.more.synth. 😜

Plasmonic is from the same developer as NI Absynth.

Oui!

Still waiting for the email...

I was thinking recently that if I could only buy "one more synth" it might be this one. But no time soon, of course! https://rhizomatic.fr/

I walked into a local music store in the mid-80's, determined to walk out with my first synthesizer. I had a recent overtime check burning a hole in my pocket (my first GAS attack). So the salesman showed me two synths in my budget range. A Juno-6, and a Casio CZ-1000. Guess which one I bought after trying them both out? Hint: it had 8 voices, stored program memory, and was MIDI capable.

As in the video, it was obviously the simplicity of the synth. Everything was on "one page", and you could dial in a sound in seconds. That was a "usability" factor that many loved. And a lesson that many modern VST instrument developers should be aware of.

The "64-bit floating point engine" has to do with the floating point math that is used by the Cakewalk mixing engine, not the sample rate of the audio involved. Apples to oranges ...

Already been confirmed that Augmented Strings upgrade doesn't count towards VC9. But it's definitely worth $29 right now!

That worked for me. Sales support added the coupon to my shopping cart!

LOL!!! I was an early adopter of Fathom Pro (2018). It's still available, but seems to be in maintenance mode. I had high hopes for it. It's a bit quirky, but the semi-modular structure and sound quality is awesome! Fathom is from a small independent developer, Seaweed Audio. The paid versions apparently never really took off marketwise. It got rave reviews for the free and magware versions. The last update was to v3.8.3 and the most recent developer communication at the KVR forum was back in April of this year. https://www.fathomsynth.com/about But for semi-modular goodness these days, my vote would be for Phase Plant! Much more intuitive GUI and faster workflow wise than Fathom!

Yep, moved all my plugin content and samples to my internal 2TB SSD (D:) drive.
