the bugs have apparently mostly been fixed. Plugins sound and look great!

This guys plugins may be cheap but they’re pretty solid. Head Crusher is one of my favorite distortion units.

Wouldn’t count on it. Seems to be a one man operation with no commercial intentions. I’ll test tonight and report back here. For more info follow this thread: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=556310

No audio demos at this time https://sporesound.com/graphite/

If you wanna usenin other DAW than S1 you need to buy the Fat Channel plugin ($30) https://shop.presonus.com/Fat-Channel-Plug-in-Bundles-PreSonus-Bundle?fbclid=IwAR0aCiPPLg9mpqS9DSkTgOfg8IDDAMYFnfFXOXpykQG3W_wpRl8qAuJ4pvU

The blandest sounding soft synth ever made...

I’ve been around musicians my whole life. Mentally health issues are common. I think it’s important to have a routine, be organized, even if it’s not in your nature. Having a family and positive relationships is a must. Don’t fall for the “romantic” stereotypes of the romantic artist. Being a musician is about dealing with chaos. You need order to balance it out.

I’ve been eyeing those. I’ll try the demos if the free ones recommended above aren’t that convincing. Thanks!

Those look pretty nice, I’ll try them tonight. Thanks!

I’m using Studio One 5 Artist which doesn’t come with something like that, so I’m looking at 3rd party options. Is there anything that stands out from the rest? Hopefully not that pricey. Thanks!

I’m using S1 5 artist as my main daw now, great value!

Listen, fat...

Insanely good verb.

Yes, would be nice to be able to click and drag different tracks to select/deselect in the track manager instead of having to click each one.

playing with this on my laptop. VERY nice sounds! Great freebie indeed. EDIT: Is there a way to get the Rack Extension version as well?

Oh, ok. I've been having issues with the Arranger displaying weird characters, which seems to be language related. I was told through email that those would likely be solved in the new update. Is that the case? Thanks.

I get a fatal error opening an empty project. I sent the crash dump to the support email.

Wow, it looks really cool now. The old tiny GUI put me off, I'm glad they changed it.

You may want to email the developer and ask about a crossgrade offer. Synapse Audio offers free crossgrades between vst and rack extensions. Don’t know about Korg, but it may be worth the try.

Hmm, weird. The installation page says you can: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrummerDrumEmpire2020/installation Drum Empire 2020 is used by following plugins. Download MeldaProduction universal installer, run it and make sure you select one or more of the plugins that use this pack. MDrummer MSoundFactory MSoundFactoryLE MSoundFactoryPlayer Still, too annoying to download 60 gb just to check.

can anyone confirm that this works with their free player? Are they multi velocity? Cheers.

Sitala is nice but Poise is actually insane workflow-wise. Totally recommended! You can specify an audio editor program to send your samples and then reload them back to the pad (right click in the layer icon). You can resample a sample after applying effects to save cpu. You can click and drag to select all pads, etc. Possibly the best drum sampler I’ve ever used, and I used to own Battery 3 and Geist 2. If only the GUI was a bit bigger... but whatever.

UPDATE: So, a few weeks ago I installed Poise from One Small Clue, which was recently made free, but I discarded it since the GUI is a bit small. I decided to give it another spin and it's actually quite amazing. I can live with the small GUI, it's not that bad. I am using this skin though: https://vstskins.com/poise-aiva-1-5/ You can very easily layer drums and much more. You can even drag audio from the sequencer to the pads. Also, you can MIDI map the sample start and end points! I recommend you watch this 4 part tutorial, it is very useful:
