7.4 will finally have a long awaited new feature.! Wait for it. ;)

when will the upgrade price be like this low? whats the past experience?

@PavlovsCat: maybe somebody with a RX7 license could batch process/clean up the files?

thank you. what is the difference w between purchasing Witcher on GOG or on Epic or Steam?

imo all soundpaint instruments are.. they are stripped down libraries which rely too much one the internal fx.. they dont even have realistic release samples (at least in the libraries I have: the Rhodes and the free Piano).. strange, strange..

thank you very much! nice playing! I also tried some demos but it has never the same warmth than they achieved with the free Imperial.. strange VSL put so much effort into the sampling, and some of the mic positions sound so far away or when close a bit hollow and thin.. and too bright for my taste, especially in the lower octaves. If you like, please listen to the album h hunt - playing piano for dad (free download at Website Tasty Morsels or on Spotify).. How (or with which library) can I get close to this sound? Peter

yeah probably something like that, the third one is Sonar 8.5

Hi, I have found my old, well preserved (empty) Sonar boxes. If somebody wants to put them in their studio shelves or for some other reason send me a PM. I am in Berlin, Germany so there would be some shipping costs involved. Or you can come by and we have a chat about the good ol' Cakewalk times... Peter

The VSL free piano is very convincing indeed. I will try their demos one after the other. But what makes me hesitate is that most of the VSL pianos are recorded in the big "Stage A" which results in too much natural reverb for my taste. I would like to see some intimate sounding pianos from VSL. The Stage B is better, but still pretty "wet". The VSL free piano was recorded apparantly in a smaller room. But of course it has not so many velocity layers (does anyone know how many?) and no additional mic options. But I love its sound.

or sysex?

Whats so bad about Kontakt (apart from HiDPI missing)? I would feel free if the count of VSTs would be under 10 in my DAW.

I am looking at VSL instruments.. the free piano they have convinced me.. is the best free piano imo. the GUI is not as fancy but I actually - for the first time - do not need to change the first preset they have for it. I just open it up and play..

thank you guys.. but I did not get any discount with the codes you sent. maybe I have bought too much from 8dio in recent years - I am not discount worthy..

so what's the code?

I also realized a couple of weeks ago, that the VSL free piano is the best and most playable free piano i know! even better than the paid ones i have. There are also a some nice pianos on Pianobook, if you take the time to browse throught all of them.. "Sol's Piano" is a nice one for eample, or the "Woodland Piano".

@PavlovsCat: have you tried the Vintage Series by 8DIO? I bought the Rhodes and the Wurlitzer.. and they are my go to e-pianos. nothing comes close to them.. p. s. I also think the Soundpaint Wurlitzer is dull. I have given it a chance a few times.. but it doesn't keep me going..

"still" using?

I've never done it. So how is the upgrade process of Kontakt 6 to Kontakt 7 normally? is it cheaper than a crossgrade?

https://www.amazona.de/leak-native-instruments-kontakt-7-kommt-bald-ein-komplete-14-update/ there it says: 7.0.0 — 2022-08-17 New HiDPI Browser, Factory Library 2 (first HiDPI content), new effects.

it's very nice!

FR - Make Smart Grid adjustable, which means i want to adjust how fine the snap-raster is set, based on the zoom level. The snap-raster is often much finer than i would like to have it. Thank you, Peter

@scookThanks, AutohotKey is a good workaround. Just for anyone who wants to know my Script for 2 shortcuts is as follows: BR, Peter

yes, Pianobook is addictive. Besides Google and a news website, itts my most visited site. every 3 or 4 days i check if there are new libraries..

+1 my keybindings dissapear every now and then`also. I suspect that changing the Cakewalk Version could be the reason perhaps? I export my bindings often, to revert if i have to.

Hi, Description: I would like to use "Show/Hide ProChannel" in TrackView with my left hand, and therefore i want to change the default keybinding "Ctrl-i" to "Ctrl-e" . Issue: But in the Keybindings Dialog the "Show/Hide ProChannel" function is only only available under "Console View" and not in "TrackView" or "Global Bindings" (see image) Thus, the custom binding "Ctrl-e" to show/hide the ProChannel in does not work TrackView (only the default binding) This is s small bug which i hope can be fixed quite easily? Thank you in advance. Peter
