Assuming it’s not a startup of an opening chord like a guitar strum, keyboard chord, or other melodic element. If it’s an attempt to mimic releasing something like analog tape coming up to speed at a studio 15 ips to begin a song, it would be pretty quick in terms of reversing a slew of transients. I’m thinking ‘startup’ in terms of a song startup.

What happens if you capture the audio spin down and then reverse it so that it changes direction?

Izotope Vinyl could get you where you want to go. I think it’s free. It will do the spindown like a turntable. Not sure about the spin-up. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/vinyl.html

Never knew you could convert manually entered keyswitches into Art. maps. Thanks!

I have a bunch of native instruments the VSTi. It would be helpful to color code the PRV keys to replicate keyswitches etc. as native instruments S line of keyboards are keyed with colors. Make sense?

Is this device considered a Midi hub? I’ve read that hubs should have their own power source (not USB power) to work best in this application. This one is USB powered. Not an issue? Also, this uses the 5 din connectors? Equal performance to the newer USB Midi connectors?

Trying to figure out how to reverse the waveform of chord in CbB. In my case, I'd play in the piano chord where I want it, then I'd like to reverse it to use the backward swelling effect as a build into the choruses. Best way to do this? Thanks much. Edit: Solved. Guess I deserve some RTFM comments! 😝

@Glenn StantonI use the "junior?" version of this, Park Control from BitSum. Do you use Process Lasso? I've tried to figure out what it does beyond what Park Control does, which is optimizes so no cores ever get parked and are always available. Thanks for any insight.

I also typically route out of EZK to other VSTi keys. Eager to hear the new grand piano that comes included.

What are these instrument expansion serials mentioned? You buy and then sit on them for a future purchase?

I’m in. For all its ancient shortcomings, EK1 is a core to my songwriting. I play piano and have a working understanding of music theory, but I simply can’t play what I hear in my head (a man has to recognize his limitations!) EK2 is a quantum leap — which it should be after a decade(?) of development stagnation. Given EK1, I CAN’T WAIT! A bonus is a beautifully recorded grand piano as part of the package.

I just posed this question on the EZK forum board. I couldn’t find any official word on this?

Trying to get my jaw off the floor. YAY! I’ve been on a thread on TT Forum pleading for this that goes back 7 years. Wow.

April Fools, RIGHT? Hilarious! Here’s the last graph:“UNSUB say that the new software will launch next month. Prices start at $99 a month for the basic UNSUB plan with a pro version costing around $199 per month. You need a plan for each converted third party subscription. For those who sign up annually this drops by 20%.” So… Get out of your SUB plan by, wait for it… buying UNSUB’s SUB plan! But wait, there’s more: “You need a plan for each converted third party subscription.” 😁🤣

As are the 3 Sigma IRs, according to its developer; the solution is turning up the IR loader’s output, he says

OMG! Are you kidding me?? FINALLY??? Trying to manage my hope. EDIT: Doh! Just realized it could all be a cruel April Fools joke! 🫣

Yes… 3 Sigma is one of the more comprehensive acoustic IR developers I’ve come across. There don’t seem to be many out there focusing on acoustic guitar. Here’s another resource. https://worshiptutorials.com/product/acoustic-ir-sample-pack/. These are free versions from their paid packs. As has been mentioned in this thread, a big key is finding IRs that will match up well with your guitar’s type of pick up. These two suppliers offer a selection of pick up types to choose from.

Brilliant. I never stop learning on the forum. This is super handy! Can you also select all nodes like this and delete all if you want to start over?

So true. I still haven’t figured out how to direct monitor through FMC in my 4i4. It used to be an actual physical knob on my 2i2. I usually take one side of my cans off an ear to hear what I’m doing. Inelegant for sure, but I got totally frustrated and just wanted to make music not fight the tech. And I’ve watched all the tutorials but can’t get my thick noggin around it. Bring the knob back!😊

Thanks all! So… anyone used any acoustic IRs they like?

For those who have been considering Soothe2, you may want to hold off and mark your calendar. I received this email and will hold off purchasing until this nice deal hits, regular $209 down to $139. The goods: Spring sale While traditionally our first sale of the year has been during Easter, this time it will be held one week afterward to coincide with the NAMM Show 2023. The prices will be as follows: spiff: 99 € / $99 / £85 soothe2: 139 € / $139 / £119 The sale will begin on Friday April 14 and end on Monday April 17.

Would love to hear thoughts/experiences with IR loaders. 90% of what I’m looking to leverage are Acoustic Guitar IRs. Also, various studio/venue/room/hall IRs I could use as a “common space” to put a mix in. I’ve watched video tutorials on how to use, but one thing I’m unclear on is… they all seem to focus on running through amp/cabs, mic’s with certain mics in certain spaces. I don’t necessarily want to run acoustic guitar IRs through amps/cabs. For example there are nice acoustic guitar IRs out there, say Gibson Hummingbird with nice and clean tone. Can I run those and ambient IRs through ANY IR loader? Or are some geared toward amplified instruments? Thank you!

It is fun there! Just added my fun to the collective bail of Waves users...

Funny. I DID contact them to let them know I was done if they're going to screw longtime current users; maybe enough (ex) users are piling into their email boxes.

I got into Waves when I first started, and I have a ton of their plugs, starting with the entire Abbey Road collection. But, I'm done with them. Going to subscription is one thing -- seems more and more of the big developers are -- but screwing current longtime users with no way to stay current UNLESS you fork over $150 minimum for a limited number of products compared to the $250/year for access to them all via subscription? Nope. Buh-bye.
