For a while there I was thinking only interns were working on the updates.

With the latest Kontakt release maybe they called the intern crew back in.

I’ve had a pretty good experience with the updates over the last several months, but definitely it was rough from the time they switched over to Native Access 2.0 up to several months ago.

Great deal for sure!

Any reason to pick this up over Dune 3 or Avenger 2?

Because it’s not over automated. It has on par sounds with those two but it’s not over complicated to select choice sounds.  I have a good number of the main synth offerings out there.  Spire is my first choice to reach to when adding a sound to a song.

Also, the preset packs are very affordable to expand the libraries!

I picked it up for $17 yesterday at ADSR.

And this is a pretty sweet pack indeed. 

Guess I’ll check it out then!

What's different is that instead of custom wave shaping you have an XY pad to combine different distortion types. What's added is the multiband for the convolver and an XY pad for that too. So it seems like a good plugin but not as good as Trash 2 because of all the missing features.

I wonder if they will add the missing features in a future version. 

Trash Advanced

I use several of them on every song.  Really good.

Given their name they should have jumped for a 50% on this day.

The clip below has no connection to the sample pack.   But Cory Wong and his band(s) are amazing.

This clip is a Cory Wong clinic - a masterclass performance!

This is an extra add-on pack for about $9.

@cclarry - did you press the pedals?

first Cloudmax then Cloudmax Plus so we may expect Cloudmax Pro and Cloudmax Max as the same as with other products

this company is just wasted

Totally agree!  They are out of control!  So confusing!

At first glance I’m not wild about an organ soundbank from Toontrack for EZKeys 2.  Because the soundbanks for EZKeys in general have never been the draw, instead the magic is the tool itself and the midi that we can put together.

I am, however, quite intrigued about midi packs specializing in organ phrases.  I might grab the organ soundbank because it may accentuate those midi packs.  Very interesting new addition to their line up!

Instrument mode is still there. The button for it moved location.

@Soundwise - I had the same experience- no sound playing single notes.  I ran out of time trying to determine my user error. I did watch the Walkthrough vid on Silk (which is of course well done).  Single note playing is demonstrated in the Walkthrough. I just need to learn which button to get there.

The code worked.  Even as a guitar player, these sounds are desired.  And made convenient with this library!

Unify overall is a great value and a super creative enabling musical tool.

I wanted to not like Megamagic Guitars 4 - Old Strings because I play guitar already, and as a guitarist I prefer not to have old strings.  But he did it again - another magical pack!

@Realto - wacky!   It was. not an issue on the Mac.  Looked great, sounded great.  But then I clicked on Preferences just to see what was there and on display I saw an option for Responsive.  I tried that to see if I would get some screen scaling or something.  Nope, it locked me into the same issue I had previously on Windows.

But!  I discovered tonight (after much frustration) the following.  Just as a Hail Mary I loaded the Audio Unit version.  It actually loaded with a giant screen, but did reveal the menu on the right side.  It allowed me to change back from Responsive to Standard.  Once I did that the VST3 version worked again for me on the Mac.

The Positive Grid developers have gone off the rails on this display thing.  Otherwise it's fantastic and my go to for an amp sim.

This will be a great help!

Been waiting for this.  While not as much as I hoped, still appreciated.
Note that code/voucher is good till Jan 31st.

Thanks for the tip about the end of Jan. I didn't notice when I received the email.

Had the SAME problem! Fortunately, I figured out a workaround.

• Go ahead and do their recommendations and then, when you're inside of Studio One...
• insert it as an effect where F12 shows/hides it when toggled.
• Then, switch the view to a different track,
• then switch back and viola! You should be able to see every part of the display  including the right side which was previously completely hidden.

If you can't get it to work, let me know and I'll provide a more in-depth response. But since I'm not even sure if you're even going to see this , I don't see the need to shout into the abyss.

Hope this helps,

Paul

Paul - thanks much!  Great to know. I had followed their instructions and had no success. But you’ve presented a new tip here which is great.

Personally it just so happens I’m now in the midst of switching from a Windows machine to a Mac.  It may be a non issue in the first place on the Mac when I install Bias FX 2.  But I’m not there yet. I’ll know soon enough!  If it’s not displaying correctly I’ll have your tip to try.

Leapwing tools are pricey overall admittedly.  Good to see the discount.  I have picked them up over time.  Of plugins I have, I actually use the Leapwing plugs on every song.  For my mixes, they make the sounds better. 

Yes!  Thank you to all!  Merry Christmas!

Super thanks!

I don’t see what the deals are. I click on Today’s deal and just see the website and their products listed.
