    Or you get it via the mag reader of your public library for no additional cost.

    Another way to get Beat is to pick up Readly for a month. 

    Just saying.  Endless possibilities.  

    Does beat have any options for being read as resizable/fluid text?  I really hate that most digital mags I have come across are just big scans of the pages.

    On the other hand, I guess it makes it hard to say "the second word in the paragraph header at the bottom of page 88" when pages are fluid.

    What was updated.   I'm afraid to do any NI updates/

    Over the past couple of days Ethereal Earth , Session Strings, Sequis, have been updated in addition to Analog Dreams.   Others may have been updated as well.

  3. I have mixed feelings about the effect version requiring MIDI input.

    I suspect that in a large percentage of use cases, a person might just want to slap this into the FX bin.  In that case, it seems silly to have to have a MIDI track just to hold onto a C note.

    However,  you can use keyboard as an assign for things and use the envelopes.  Also the comb filter takes in MIDI input, which can be used for some interesting vocoder like effects.

    Arturia has also added a significant amount of new sound content, adding 100 new presets as well as new stock wavetables and samples. There are also three new add-on sound packs available.

    In all, there’s nothing massively revolutionary here, at least compared to previous updates, which have added entirely new sound engines and significant new features. If that sounds underwhelming though, it’s worth remembering two things – firstly, Pigments is already comfortably one of the most powerful software instruments on the market, and secondly version 5 is a free update for existing users, so it would be hard to argue that it’s not good value for money.

  5. 32 presets emulating the sounds of classic songs with varying degrees of success.  Songs emulated include "Cars", "West End Girls", "Thriller", "Running Up That Hill", and "Wonderful Christmastime"

    Same for 40s Very Own Drums, Empire Drums, Karriem Riggins and I assume the other similar library that I don't have and can't remember the name of right now.

    Also curious they added all those effects and no mention of new presets to take advantage of them.

    Exactly. Like getting Hank Marvin's Apache sound. Based on this video, I created the attached Guitar Rig preset with Guitar Rig 5, but it worked fine in GR6 and works fine in GR7. On my Windows laptop, that file is located here:

    C:\Users\johna\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Guitar Rig 6\Rack Presets.

    I had GR6 installed when I bought my new laptop. I just copied the file from my old desktop PC. There's an equivalent GR7 folder where you could also put it. GR7 found it here, no problem.

    I'm curious why he didn't use the AC Box considering that's more like what Hank used.

    Also, does nobody get the concept of ducking their mic when they are playing?  It's so distracting to hear the sound of his unamplified guitar coming through his vocal mic.

  8. It looks like these presets are from

    • Mike Dean (hip hop producer)
    • Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park)
    • Nick Hexum (311)
    • Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz)
    • Serj Tankian (System of a Down)

    This makes them a bit easier to find by clicking on artist in browser.

    If you are into Waves WUP then Bitwig is for you.   I avoid this DAW.  I have too many DAWs as it it. In long term it's an expensive DAW if you are one of those people who can't avoid paying upgrades.   I know the yada, yada, you don't have to buy the upgrade but who has that discipline? I don't.

    They haven't given me anything since v4 that I wanted, so where's the discipline required?
