With an interview with Def Leppard! 

I'm a music collector - I own all of the Alan Parsons Project and all his solo albums.  Though his later solo stuff is very uneven, his first album "Try Anything Once" is amazing. 

Check out "The Three Of Me"

I can neither sing nor play the guitar.  But I really dig Alan Parsons.... 

I really need to pick up that Children's choir.  Been on my radar for awhile.

I still wonder WHY I have to "Double" install these.  Select "install" let it run.
Goes away, but doesn't show as installed.  Exit program - Run Again - Select
"install" again and everything's fine.

Strange

Me as well.  Every. Single. Time.

Does the OPUS player require a network connection?

Don't believe so. 

I got one of these a few months back.  Very handy.  I'm still creating my Cubase profile, but it is useful for all sorts of things.

I check daily for all updates (like @cclarry) and I got tired of all the mouse clicking.   I setup a button that automatically starts all the updaters for me.  Sweet.

I can neither confirm nor deny I have a button that specifically opens the Deals page in Chrome.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw the "Fast And Secure" banner floating across the top.   From the company who was subjected to several SQL inject attacks over the past few months.

DId I tell you I got to do my own mix of "Rock of Ages"?  It was a BLAST!

Sweet.  I love that band - love that they overcame so much adversity and kept "doing their thing."   Their newest song kicks *ss.

Probably the $99 upgrade will happen, but only 1 year or more after VC9 release.

That was my point.  After a year, I paid $149 for the upgrade on BF.    

Love the Phil Collen presets in GR6.  I can't play the guitar worth crap, but at least I can pretend I'm in Def Leppard....

Larry can tell us for sure, but I think the $99 Arturia upgrades were over.  I don't believe the 7 to 8 upgrade was ever offered at $99 - I know I paid $149 after paying $99 for several V Collection upgrades.  And I own all the Arturia software.

Yup, they removed it.  Crap.  I was about 10 minutes too late - I had it in my cart and waffled...

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday with the Strings.  NA said to update to 1.2, but the Sonokinetic Manager reported it was already at 1.2, and showed no update.

The KV331 standalones suck! Have not used them since a brief dabble.

Try the free Tone2 Nanohost. The settings work well, https://www.tone2.net/nanohost.html

Just download the Nanohost.exe and make as many copies as you need in your plugins folder. The actual plugin "Synthmaster2 .dll" needs to remain in the same folder.

To use the .exe just replace the "Nanohost" part of the Tone 2 executable name with the actual name of the Synthmaster2 plugin .dll while leaving the file as an .exe. For example, "Nanohost.exe" becomes "Synthmaster2".exe and now you have a new standalone.

The Nanohost only works with VST2. I like it the best, but if you really need VST3 compatibility, check out SaviHost3x64 >  https://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm

I actually think the stand alone is fine, not sure why you don't like it.  I wish all VSTs had stand alones.  I can certainly use Komplete Kontrol or something (that is what I usually do), but it shouldn't be like this.   According to the last email I got from KV331, they said "easy fix" but I'm disappointed that it seems to have been a long time problem.  And per @User 905133, it sounds like I'm not the only one to report the problem.

What MIDI bug?

On both standalones, they have an artificial limit set on the number of Midi inputs available.    For some people that have a lot of midi inputs (like me), I cannot select my midi controller, as it is too far down in the list.

Logic and Reason - two things in short supply today....

I wish they would just fix the midi bug I reported about a year ago for both Synthmaster One and Synthmaster 2.

If it was an even $14,000 I'd be all over it, but that last $40 is just too much.

But you earn 10% Alto bucks!

I am setting a goal for myself to compose  a new piece

@David Baay - would you be so kind as to explain this concept?  It is rather foreign to me.

Mercury will come to me one of these days.  I need more plugins I don't use....

. Kind of in the same vein as Zero-G's Elements.

Which actually is a fantastic deal. Great product at a super price.
