VERSION 2.33.0      10/11/2019

Added new FM Tonal Mode. A new mode dial has been added to the FM oscillator page which controls whether or not the oscillator runs in free mode or tonal mode. In tonal mode the FM modulator and carrier phase are synchronized at the start of every cycle which forces the oscillator to be tonal no matter what the FM parameters are set to.

Fixed the Serum Wave Table RIF header factory bit. The second bit should be set to zero so if the wave table is saved from Fathom and loaded into Serum then Serum will know that it is not part of its own factory library and therefore will save the table as part of the preset. Setting this bit to one was a bug since it will cause Serum to think that the wave table is part of its own library and prevented it from saving the table with the preset.

Made the modulator file path independent from the programs root path and added it to the list of saved paths. This enables users to grab modulators from the existing list even after browsing to different locations for presets. If a new programs path is selected and it contains a modulators folder with modulator files inside it then the current modulators path will be updated. If the new preset path does not contain modulators then the old modulator path will be retained.

Changed the file browser so when a program is saved the new program is highlighted in the list and the list scrolls to show the program if it is not currently visible.

Added a warning message if the user attempts to load a program or modulator from the wave file or wave table browser. This prevents someone from accidentally loading a new program while browsing for waves or wave tables.

Removed sharp edge processing from the LFO modulator when applied to the Gaussian filter in order to increase CPU efficiency. Sharp edge processing is only necessary for envelopes with sharp vertical edges.

Increased the efficiency of the wave draw Gaussian filter so it does not overload the CPU when its frequency and resonance are modulated.

Fixed the preset loader so it works correctly if the “Load Presets in UI Thread” setting is disabled and the host is playing.

Fixed all filter graphs so they are updated correctly when modulated by a MIDI controller.

Fixed all effects so they are audible when the host is playing a sustained note and they are connected.

Fixed the wave draw view so portions of the graph are not deleted during a mouse drag if the user interface thread is overloaded while the host is playing.

Fixed a bug in the Gaussian filter, caused by an uninitialized array, which resulted in CPU overload if the Gaussian filter frequency is modulated.

Fixed the modulation list so the order is retained after a program is saved and loaded.

Fixed the main signal flow view so it accepts drag and drop preset files.

Added Windows 10 optimization instructions to user guide. Optimizing Windows for audio processing cuts CPU load in half!

On my CW (cakewalk),  what happens once I have more that 8 templates is that I can see the top of the icon for number 9, but I can not get to it.  It appears that there is a "scroll strip" to the right of the window, but no handle to grab to move the window list up or down. [ and the up & down arrows or pg up/dwn have no effect ]

Don't know if EVINITY is aware of it, or has a virus doing it for him/her, but what s/he quotes gets edited to add links to all sorts of things.

See all four or his/her posts.

Thanks Larry !

I have all their synths and upgrade for me was 39 $cad.

Nice, easy installation.

I received an email from JRR with the Loom II product license and at the end of the email it said..."Free with your purchase, the Tapestry expansion pack and Touch Loops AIR Bonus Pack: -" with links to each item.

Thanks ZincT for this.  I found the links down at the bottom of the email which I had missed.

It was a pretty convoluted download, installation and activation procedure for Loom with multiple websites to visit and codes to provide.  I initially ended up with two versions of Loom in my iLok account, a demo version and a full version, and had to move my licence from the first to the second, once I figured things out.

The upgrade includes Tapestry expansion pack and Touch Loops AIR Bonus Pack.

My Loom2 upgrade version (the only version I have) doesn't seem to include Tapestry as the presets aren't in Loom's preset folder (I'll be copying them into it, as per the install instructions).

The free Tapestry download version found on the fingermarks website also includes NKS patches :

Where is the Touch Loops AIR Bonus Pack ?  Can't find it on AIR's website.

64 presets.  I know nothing about them.

Won't a simple 20ms delay give you the Haas effect ?

While the item says "upgrade from Loom Classic", I installed and activated it successfully without having Loom Classic beforehand.

(At that price, I figured what the heck, if it doesn't work, I'll just buy Loom Classic for another 9.99, but didn't have to in the end.)

There is a regular Loom II product for 19.99.

OK, just got it to authorize.

Had to run EXPOSE the first time as administrator (even though I'm always administrator) and it then accepted the code.

Lucky for me I just reinstalled Dimension Pro 1.5 in the last few days and had to do the same thing, which brought the solution to mind.

(it doesn't say to do so in the installation instructions, which are for LEVELS anyway)

Got EXPOSE (with Aparillo) and it fails to authorize.

When I enter my serial number into the licence authorization window, I get :

There was an error. This software has not been successfully authorised.
Error code: 28

I've written to Plugin Boutique for advice.

Plupgin Boutique just changed the bonus freebie to EXPOSE.

https://www.masteringthemix.com/products/expose

Looks useful, especially since I just created my first Youtube account for a new project of mine.

(5 days left, according to the first link in this thread)

The article is a good read and perfectly rational, which is why it probably won't encourage anyone to change.

If I'm anywhere near typical, there can be a lot of history and emotional baggage behind the desire to acquire the next piece of gear.  GAS is just the tip of the iceberg.  Dealing with what's going on deep inside us is a huge undertaking, the work of lifetime.  An infinitely worthwhile process with nothing to do with the studio.

We are super excited to announce the launch of the incredible new Zero-G Northern Lights Pad Machine.

Click below for full information:
https://zero-g.co.uk/products/northern-lights-pad-machine

To celebrate the launch of this fantastic new product, we are offering a 2 week 20% discounted introductory launch price. Buy now for just $52.95 (offer ends on Friday 6th September 2019).

Thanks Fleer for this.  I've been waiting for a while.

Now to wait even longer to see what freebie might be thrown in with it, since I recently got Iris 2 with something else.

I found that having to sign up to three different mailing lists was a bit extreme.

Especially in the context of a celebration.

And I don't FB either.

Here's a link to a thread in the Coffee House that shows how to disable the adware:

 

I just unchecked Update Notifier in the Windows services configuration Startup tab (msconfig.exe).

Well, I splurged a bit a picked up Soundiron's Lakeside Pipe Organ as an excuse to get Iris 2.

Thanks again Larry.

Availability: Out of stock.

Does stock usually reappear before the end of a sale like this ?

AAS puts plugins all over the place, even if you don't want them and told them not to.

Search C drive for (for exemple) "AAS Player.dll" and at least four will show up, none of them in your regular vst folder (which, in my case, is on another drive).

For example, recently they went for V9 to V10, and, if you didn't 
have WUP, you don't get that update to V10, but your V9 plugins WILL continue to work, so it's not necessary
to update until you have issues with the plugins "not working" and actually have to update.

Supposed to, but I spent quite a few hours installing, uninstalling, running the pertinent software 'fixer' provided by waves, etc, trying to have a V9 plungin coexist with V10 plugins.  I gave up and wrote off the V9 plugin which wasn't all that important anyway.  I'm picking up what I can as long as V10 is current, then I'll stop buying anything from waves.

I've been researching these last few days for something to help me with chord progressions.  I know when I like one, but have no idea what it is (apart from basic major scale diatonic chords, and even then).

So I looked at a few programs, including Instachord 'cause it was really cheap.  I was attracted to Harmony Navigator 2  along the way, but it costs a bit and I wasn't sure to what degree it would be helpful.  Until I watched this video this afternoon.  Forget that this video is aimed at hiphop music 'producers', it goes through in a very easy and musical way what you can do with Harmony Navigator.  I just bought it and after just a few seconds, I see that this is exactly what I was looking for.

Note that only the LE version of Harmony Navigator is necessary for exploring chord progressions.

More videos from the same author as the above (which he refers to) are a bit hard to locate, but they're here.

(I had no idea that hiphop and jazz could look so similar, albeit to someone with little experience in either)

PaulP setup works
Is the "H" home always suppose to sound? There is a unison effect happening, InstaScale sounds more like Instachord.

Do you have by any chance Instachord also present in  your project with Input Echo = ON ?

They'll both sound at the same time if you do.

Other than that, I only hear a single H note in Instascale each time I play the note either directly in the plugin or on my virtual keyboard.

I have yet to seriously learn either Instachord ord Instascale so can't be of much help.

For the general idea of multilayered 'polygonal' rhythms, check out this free sequencer XronoMorph :

I find Rigid Audio's pricing a good exercise in asking myself "Do I really nead this ?"

For some reason, it's easier for me to turn down a 3$ plugin that I don't even know what it does, than a 150$ choir library (that I'm also not sure I'll use any time soon).
