  1. I have a lot of projects with instances of Kontakt 5 loaded (and a few with K4).  Over the summer I will probably take advantage of the sale on Komplete upgrades and will find myself with Kontakt 6.

    I remember hearing something about a feature that would let you replace older versions of a plugin with newer versions.  Did anything ever come of that, because it might be nice if I could effortlessly replace the K5 instances with instances of K6.

       BTW they brought Carbon VST back.

    Really?  I saw they were giving Carbon as part of their new freebie product Komplete Start, but I thought it was a Reaktor Player ensemble.

  3. Pick up the latest version of Computer Music.  They have a large number of free instruments and effects included, many of which are exclusive lite versions of more popular software (ie Bazille CM, Synthmaster CM, Rhino CM, etc).  

    Also, but I don't know if this is still supported, but in CM 200 they gave away a full copy of OG Rapture and in a later edition they had a giveaway of Home Studio with Rapture Session.

  4. It's been 8 months and they haven't even set up a store to sell things like Z3ta 2 or the Adaptive Limiter yet.  Even if that were anywhere on there task list, I wouldn't expect a Mac version any time soon.

  5. abacab's list is pretty good.  I'll add...

    Green Oak Crystal, aka the poor man's Absynth.

    Reaktor 6 Player has two ensembles included, Blocks Wired which is modular monosynth weirdness, and Mikro Prism, which is a type of physical modeling synth.

  6.  

    I decided to put up a number of patches I made for Rapture using the waveforms from the excellent Muz3um soundset.

    Hope you like these.

    As long as you are picking up Rapture presets, you might want to check out my ill-timed 30 for 30 set.

  7. This is odd, all of a sudden I don't have that problem any more, at least when opening existing projects or starting from an empty project.  This has been a minor annoyance for years.  My best guess is that when I opened the KA6 control panel to check on settings, it may have reset.

  8. I'm not most users, I guess.  I see the media browser and think, "Hey, one-stop shopping". 

    Also, like I said before, I tend to forget that the FX Chain is there, because I have all of my most used folders in my menu.  However, I suppose I could create a new preset menu for just FX Chains and set the browser to use that one.  Perhaps a tab under the Plugin browser for FX Chains might be a good idea as well.

     

  9. I had this problem which I first ran into maybe 4 months into "Platinum"...

    It used to be that when I started up Sonar, I could set up whatever instruments I wanted and start playing.  Sometime early into the Splat Era, when I started up SONAR, the audio engine would not start up.  I would have to press play before I could get sound out of my instruments.

    I think this is related to my interface, a Komplete Audio 6.  I had SONAR on my laptop with ASIO4ALL  without that problem (haven't uploaded CWBL yet).  I installed the last version of Home Studio (or whatever Computer Music gave away) on my kids HP, and did not have the issue either.

     

    I have been running at 44.1 kHz/192 samples in the process buffer, 1ms in the USB buffer.  Are other KA6 users having this problem?

    Drag and drop for fx chains works from the Plugins tab in the browser. Please try it from there rather than the media browser.

    Thanks Noel.  It does work from the plugin browser.  I don't normally use the plugin browser, and when I first tried your suggestion I was uncertain what you were talking about because I could not immediately see the folder for FX Chain.  I have a fair amount of menus and the FX Chains is down at the bottom, so I had to scroll to even see that it was there.

    This seems to be a bit inconsistent of functionality to me that drag and drop is not supported from the media browser.  The media browser supports drag and drop of audio clips, midi clips, and track templates, why not FX Chain Presets?

     

     

  11. I just tested drag and drop of FX chains in 2018.11.  When I try to drag onto the track the cursor changes into a slash through a circle.  It does this whether I am going onto instrument tracks or pure audio or even buses.  It doesn't matter whether these are Cakewalk chains or ones I just created.  Drag and drop of FX chains does not work for me.

  12. I seem to recall that I used to be able to drag an FX Chain preset from the browser onto the FX bin on a track.  If I am misremembering this, I would like to have this functionality.  Even better, I would like there to be an option to just import the individual effects (and not the wrapper) similar to the way you can do that by shift-clicking on the open button when you do it from the menu.
