Scaler has just been updated to version 2.7.2. I wasn't sure if I should have started a new thread, or posted to this one. Thoughts?

It's free again (with coupon code HAPPY-HALODAYS)... https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/01/04/halo-lite/ https://dhplugins.com/product/halo-lite/ Edit: I tried the code, but it doesn't work.

Mine is $10 but unfortunately will expire before their annual spring sale.

Did we all get the Indie Melodica?

I bought the instrument based on what I heard in the demo video and b/c I was (and still am) looking for good solo woodwinds. While playing through most of the patches I realized it was lifeless. And this is particularly true given that this single instrument now consumes 23.6GB of space on my SSD! Frankly I've lost faith in Troels and Soundpaint at this point. I greatly admire his passion and vision but, based on what I'm hearing when playing the instruments I own, I'm not sold. I haven't completely written Soundpaint off, but I'll not buy anything else for quite a while. Bottom line, the sounds just don't live up to the hype. BTW, if you peruse this thread, you'll see that there are others not completely enamored with the platform. Cheers...

It's lifeless.

I just discovered a very serious flaw with this synth. After going through all the patches I realized I had toggled half of them as my favorites! The sounds this thing produces are so thick and delightfully weird that it's hard to stop playing with it. So that's the flaw: it's very addictive!

Please be patient while the little code elves hand craft one for you. They sleep all day and work just one hour each night. You certainly don't expect this sort of thing to be done automatically in 2022, do you? Sure, we've landed men on the moon, mapped the human genome, and can packed billions of transistors on a chip of silicon the size of your thumb nail, but those were mere cakewalks compared to generating a code.

Neither could I!

For those interested, the link to the legacy downloader is working again: https://kilohearts.com/docs/download_and_installation#khs_one

I picked-up Modular City. Just a heads-up, most of the 121 presets are five versions of the same sound. So, it's like you're really getting ~24 different sounds. Not bad for a freebie.

Decisions, decisions!

Oh no! You're right. Thanks for the heads-up. I just emailed support and asked them to please fix the link. Cheers...

Actually, you can click past the removal option in the installer (which you should do if you want to keep that plugin b/c the link to the dedicated installer for KHz One is broken).

Some do like those from IKM and Acustica. The size of the latter -- which were all freebies except one -- takes up ~20GB of space!

I seldom use loops in my music, so Loopcloud would be of no value to me. But thanks for the suggestion. Cheers...

You 'll free up storage space and your DAW's plugin scans will be quicker.

I did the same thing last year for the same reasons as you and it was definitely worth the effort. My specific focus was to cull thing downs to mainly the large plugin providers (Waves, PA, NI, UVI, Melda, iZotope,...) and maintain as few plugins from the smaller companies. Like you, I now am working much more efficiently. Best of all, updating is much easier and faster now b/c, consolidating to mostly the large plugin providers means I can run fewer installers and update more plugins than before.

Thanks for the info!

If you have time, try Autoruns (it's free). You may be surprised at how much stuff is running on your system without your knowledge. The reason is that despite unclicking the option to run at startup, some companies ignore your preference and install their software anayway. Worse still, others don't even ask leaving you to discover it on your own. I regularly run Autoruns everytime after installing a program or performing a Windows update. I've been using it for more than a decade and would say that it's the most useful tool in setting up and maintaining a lean music studio computer. It's always the first program I install when setting up a new system.

Thanks. But the list of programs you can control via Settings is tiny compared to that which can be controlled with Autoruns (the exception being Windows Apps which I just delete via WPD).
