If you buy this, do you get updates for the 28 included synths to the current versions?

Actuate is a subtractive synthesizer, sampler, and granulizer made in Rust with Nih-Plug and Egui. Actuate follows a philosophy of "limited but creative options" for making sounds. Review: https://www.audiopluginsforfree.com/actuate/ D/L: https://github.com/ardura/Actuate/releases

Great synth!

Another hoopla-like option (for movies, TV shows, and courses) is Kanopy. My library gives me 20 credits/month which can be used to stream ~ 10 movies/month. You can check it out here.

You can watch a few free previews:

Review: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2024/02/20/tilr-time-gate/ D/Ls: https://github.com/tiagolr/time1/raw/master/dist/TIME1.vst3 ... and ... https://github.com/tiagolr/gate1/raw/master/dist/GATE1.vst3 Tilr launched the Time1 delay and Gate1 gate and volume control plugins, free Windows releases available via GitHub repositories. The developer describes Time1 as an open-source delay modulator similar to plugins like Gross Beat or TimeShaper, while Gate1 is an envelope generator for gate and volume control.

FYI, I installed the updates shown below, but when I did, all these libraries appeared in the missing content section of the Installation Manger and generated error messages in Opus when I tried to load them. So I performed a "Locate" for all of the newly missing libraries, but this resulted in them all re-appearing under the Updates section again. So I gave up and will wait for EW to fix this bug. And now *all* my Hollywood Orchestrator functionality is gone!

This synth is an absolute beast!

The plugin allows you to alter the timbre of any source material/sound beyond recognition (or less dramatically if you’re so inclined). It breaks down the frequency spectrum into tiny bits called bins, each delayed by a specified amount of time that you can manipulate in various ways, including basic shapes, white noise, and custom waveforms.

Anaglyph is part of an ongoing research effort into the perceptual and technical capabilities of binaural rendering. This audio plugin was designed both to support ongoing research efforts as well as to make accessible the fruits of this research to audio engineers working in DAW environments. Amongst its features, Anaglyph includes a personalizable morphological ITD model, near-field ILD corrections and HRTF parallax selection, a localisation enhancer, an externalisation booster, and multiple HRTF support via the SOFA file format. http://anaglyph.dalembert.upmc.fr/

Looks like a few other plugins were just updated as well; e.g., PSP HertzRider2.

The Cubase 13.0.21 maintenance update is now available. This Windows-only update resolves several issues that could lead to graphic glitches on Windows systems. Although these issues only occur on specific hardware configurations, we recommend all Windows users to install the update. The update is immediately available via the Steinberg Download Assistant. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/cubase-13-0-21-maintenance-update-windows-only/894308/2

They have a version 5 sound preview...

I just updated to version 5 via the ASC.

The course on reverb is excellent. I particularly liked the discussion regarding the difference bewtween early and late pre-delay.

NM.

https://www.thehomerecordingstudio.com/rubber-bridge-guitar/ Note: The library creator asks you to subscribe to his newsletter and confirm your email to get the free guitar, but clicking on the link in the email to confirm the subscription takes you to a ConvertKit log in / create an account page. Some have tried creating a ConvertKit account (and confirming that too), but still did not receive the freebie. So this one may not be worth the trouble.

Yes, thank you. That is what I was asking. I kinda like the old GUI better. Oh well...

Speaking of Vocal Synth ... does anyone know how to 're-skin' it from the old design to the one below? https://www.kvraudio.com/vocoders-for-your-vocal-ventures
