Getting a bit confused with all these Izotope reformulations , but it still seems to me (I’ve got the previous everything) that what I’m getting for around $170 is the changes to Neutron (I.e 4) and two players to be named later,,(ie which will be substantial or insubstantial updates of two of their other platforms). Correct?

We have released a maintenance update to Syntronik 2.

What’s New in Syntronik 2.0.3

- Fixed a bug where Multis using a Syntronik 1 preset were not loaded correctly
- Improved GUI clarity on Windows systems using lower resolution displays
- Fixed a bug where the pitch bend range was displayed incorrectly on the Edit panel
- Fixed a bug on the SH-V panel where the Osc 2 controls were reversed
- Fixed a bug on the VCF3 panel where the BPM Sync and Osc 2 controls were reversed
- Fixed a bug in the 99 Synth where Syntronik 1 presets were missing the 12dB filter slope
- Fixed a bug on the Modulum panel where controllers were recalled incorrectly
- Fixed a bug where time DAW signature changes could cause an audio glitch
- Fixed a bug where Syntronik 1 preset Porta and Glide knobs were recalled incorrectly
- Fixed a bug in where Syntronik 1 presets incorrectly displayed the filter slopes for the C and R Type filters
- General reliability improvements

As part of this, does any content have to be re-downloaded?

Yeah, if they added in the new Modo stuff, that would be interesting. Otherwise just not enough for me, based on what Ive got. The Vocal strip and Fame reverb would be nice to have, but I’ve never really seen the rationale behind the Tascam/Teac stuff.

The website said that they were the two co-founders.  Denis says that the deal was to split 50/50 and to my knowledge, Souter has not denied this.  There's never been a "contractor" in the history of the world set up this way.  😄 

When you are a contractor you get a flat fee.  Everybody who has contracted for a job or has contracted somebody else for a job knows that is the way it works. 

So I think that Denis was insane to accept the deal that he did.  You don't get statements when you are a co-founder and half owner. Statements are for outsiders, because frankly they can be "finessed."  If you are a co-owner, you are in the accounts and see every purchase as it is made.  And you are equally involved in deciding how money is going to be spent. What Denis describes is not this at all.

Nothing else matters.  The amount of time... who did what, etc.

I could cry a rainstorm about how my company worked 15 months on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."   The film grossed 150 million, Sony didn't give me a bonus, and it closed my company, which was my dream.  But boohoo. Shame on me for working so hard without knowing that I'd be fairly compensated. (Maybe I'll do a video)

It's business. Like me, he made a bad deal.  You take the life lesson and move on.  IMHO, What he is doing by emailing people is only shooting himself in the foot. 

Sorry to hear about your case . Agree and disagree a bit here too. There are numerous types of regular or bizarre, standard or hybrid, good or bad, enforceable or non-enforceable business arrangements out there, that may either work in the long run, or not.  I have no personal knowledge of the details of the 2c one, and do not feel comfortable making any assumptions based on one side’s email. When there is disappointment over how any written agreement turns out, it is usually (but not always) the result of either inadequate legal representation or that party having insufficient financial/bargaining  leverage over the other to have gotten the terms they wanted. Oral arrangements more frequently go awry for those reasons and a whole host of others (for somewhat obvious reasons).

I agree that Denis is not helping his cause by sending out these emails (one of which I received also). It is not the role of the consumer to either do his own investigation into what transpired or solve the problems these guys are having. I’ll continue to use the 2c products I have, but would be pretty reluctant to buy any more in the future.

Love Breeze, and dig some of their other stuff too. As consumers, I don’t think we’re really in a position to figure out who’s right or wrong here, or whose telling the truth or not. A shame, really.

“Vender” Jazz Bass? Good thing the boys in Fullerton have their lawyers on speed dial😆

In fairness, I’d like to amend my earlier comments about BFD3. I spent the last few days trying to get the latest InMusic version of BFD3 to work properly. It took some time, but following  a clean install, some detailed instructions from BFD Drew as to what needed to be deleted  , a few hiccups, and a new beta version of the installer……it’s all working. My fingers are still crossed but I am, for the first time, optimistic that I’ll be able to reliably use these great sounds again.

I’m still not buying this. Getting off the cycle at least for this round. For what I already have, I don’t regard Neutron 4 as a being a huge step forward . And the promise of 2 updates to the other major suites is only significant to me if I expect a big step forward there. I don’t. YMMV

Them drums sound pretty gooood:)

can you even register the old FXP type serials in the new system ?

 

Hmm…Since I am still on the pre-InMusic BFD, I’m now wondering the opposite of your question, ie whether I can register and use this through the FX  licensor. As to your question, I’m pretty sure BFD Drew can hook you up with an InMusic serial for the product.

Glad you’re fixed Grem😀. Not sure if I fixed Syner in the preferred way, but I didn’t use new zip files or run IKPM again to fix it. Just copied the contents of the extra folder into the folder where it should have been, and then deleted the extra folder itself. Worked.

Support fixed it.

Ahh ……”support”. I have found  that every time I contact their generic “support” the response is either non-helpful or non-existent. When contacting  Drew through their forum,  results have been better. Still struggling though at this end. I would not assume your protestations about them losing customers will have any effect. Their forums have been littered with extremely dissatisfied customers for months now, to little avail.

Ok...I'm going to bite on MPS5....here's WHY!

And coming this Fall…

When you buy Music Production Suite 5 Universal Edition, you will also receive two flagship
upgrades to the suite this fall at no additional charge. Which ones do you ask? Stay tuned.
They’re fan favorites packed with new innovations!

Ozone 10 and RX10 most likely...

Yeah, but what if the update to RX10 is not applicable to Advanced? After all that work, working up to Advanced….

Wonder what the deal is with that?

 

Think I will wait to see what comes out the wash.

Just bought. Figure worst case scenario I get a refund. And if it was a “mistake” they might just grandfather in the people who’ve already bought.

Yeah. Great drum sounds. Very challenging implementation. I’m going to set aside a weekend in the near future to see if I can get it working properly. If not, it’s “bye-bye”. Time is not just money…it’s peace of mind.

Quick questions about the multis. What default location do they install to on Windows? I’ve only installed the 11 new synths (had Deluxe before that) as of this point and did so in a new Syn 2 location on my hard drive. Was leaning toward doing the remaining ones in same fashion. Should I just go with default multi installation or change it to something else? Thx:)

Anybody got any spare Excedrin?

I’m thinking I’ll just download everything from My Products to be sure I have all the sounds within the 180-days timeframe and not bother with Product Manager (yet). 

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that option too. OTOH, may be creating still more work for me if I’m gonna eventually use Product Manager to install—since Product Manager leaves behind all the zip files.

I can't.  Reported to the team, urgently.

It has been automated the whole time (including the page updates) so there's just a bit of a ghost in the machine.  I'm guessing something related to the Promotions page weirdness from this morning but I've reported it so the ghost hunters can figure it out and open that last synth for y'all.

Not to worry Peter. I’m not counting on a fix before Monday. I have inside info that while you’re feverishly  slaving away over your barbecue, the entire IK brain trust back in Italy has already left for Monaco to cheer on Leclerc and Sainz in tomorrow’s race.😁

Looks like it’s taking them a few minutes though to open up that 32nd promo slot. I can wait😁

5 to go !!

Glad to hear that. Drew is a good guy….and the only one over there who’s ever really helped me.
