Got them since 2015 or so, but now I’m wondering what to do with them as they fill up so much space. Kick them all out? Only keep the last one (2020)? But even that one’s over 50, like me. 

I noticed they have a filelist. Is it possible to d/l that, search it when you need a sound, and then just d/l that one?

Really nice rack for free!

Agreed.

I'm in the process of making FX chains for vocals, guitars, bass and drums that can be easily 'dropped' into new projects and then just tweaked a bit rather than starting from scratch. I've done this in the past with Soundtoys' Effect Rack, but their FXs are more geared to just sweetening rather than also fixing and enhancing.

It would be great if there were a 'universal' chainer possessing all the features of StudioRack but also able to load *any* plugin in your collection.

I’m saving my money for the upcoming VaporBox series plugins...

MODO BASS LH

We're proud to announce MODO BASS Left-Handed. It's exactly the same as MODO BASS except we've changed the pictures of the instruments to reflect the different string order. $199

Syntronic BW

We're excited to introduce Syntronic BW. It's identical to Syntronic, but we've reversed the color of the keys: black is white and white is black! $199

AmpliTube PLUG+

The greatest achievement in our flagship VaporBox series is AmpliTube PLUG+. Our brilliant artisan engineers have meticulously modeled amplifiers with *large* electrical plugs. True, there's absolutely no difference in sound compared to the small-plug version, but you'd be absolutely crazy not to add this *powerful* (get it?) new upgrade to your arsenal. $199

But wait! Previous owners of the tired, old, boring original versions of these products are entitled to the *special* upgrade price of only $999!

Hurry! Act now! Quantities are limited!

Cpu hit .....

Howard Benson Vocals?

Is it much worse than what you'd get from the individual plugins (comp, saturation, EQ, multiplier, width, delay, verb)?

This one seems to have considerably less mojo/vibe/character compared to Howard Benson Vocals; especially considering the current sale price of the latter.  To my ears Overloud Voice seems kinda bland.  Just my $0.02.

Normally all four together would be $51.

Just read that to get these for free they "...require another version of Reason, Reason Essentials or ReCycle than what you currently have registered to your Reason Studios user account."  Bummer.

I will definitely get it to test it out if no one does.....the only question is WHEN!?! 😛 

Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day?
One by one, little problems

In other words: Right now!

I bought Bells to get Trash/Carbon free, came here to post about it, but was beaten to it by our King. 😀

sorry, @locrian was just being facetious   why these just weren't added to the FX collection and called  FX collection V2 is a mystery to everyone.   Now we have several different product groups to try to update - total pain but hey they are great sounding plugins ..... even if their product lines are over complicated

We're good. Cheers...

clue is in the title of this thread  

 

The title refers to the 3 Modulations FX, then there's the  FX Collection, then there's the combination of the two, then there are three different prices for the 3 Modulations FX, and two different prices for the combination of the two.  Add to that my lack of familiarity with Arturia's products, and I was just checking to see if the "new ones" were in fact the 3 Modulations FX or rather something else they just released.  But you knew all that, right?

Wow. The FX collection + the new ones for $199.

Which "new ones"?

Sorry but if Miroslav Philharmonik 2 sounds like a GM stock crappy soundset you might be doing something wrong or have an issue with the install or your setup.

https://download.ikmultimedia.com/html/miroslavphilharmonik2/audiodemo/Scarlet Fey - Hetoreyn Miro2 Demo.mp3

And a bunch of other great examples at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/philharmonik2/index.php?p=media

There's nothing wrong with my installation, setup, or technique.

Your own links confirm my assessment.  Cheers...

I’m a bit sad I even bought Miroslav 2. 

The sounds it produces reminds me of my 90's Sound Blaster General MIDI card.

I just discovered in the review below (~1:52) that you can actually mouse-click on the rotating disk in the GUI to add modulation.  Cool!

Can you use your Reward Points for this one?

Several months ago I spent 3 days downloading Total Studio 2 MAX (over a top-tier CDN), manually running dozens of installers, and then spending hours and hours to get Sample Tank to detect all my content.  After firing it up in my DAW I noticed that one of the products I own (Syntronik Memory-V) was grayed out.  So I went online to download the files but was furious when I saw that my window-of-opportunity had expired and I had to pay to redownload the content.  I own numerous plugins from nearly 150 different companies and none of them charge me to download content.

So, the icon for Syntronik Memory-V remains grayed-out because I will never give IKM another cent of my money.  In fact, I make a point of steering people away from IKM because this type of behavior is not just greedy, it's just plain stupid business practice.  The plugin market is fiercely competitive, so why would any company deliberately piss-off their customers?

In the end, IKM has lost far more than $10 (which they never even got from me).

Hell, rather than a group buy we should run a group sell to get them to change this policy.

Updating SampleTank to version 4.1.2 causes Cubase to crash.  Nice!

I had to laugh when I read that "General Reliability Improvements" was one of the items in the Release Notes.

Just what I need, more DAW pain...

It's a nice trade-off: my software is completely up-to-date, and it's completely unusable.

And SampleTank 4 is no longer listed in My Products.  So now I can't even fix this problem.  What a joke!

I see a download pref but not where to install VST / VST3 / soundbanks ect ....? (judging by the video alone)

The installers prompt you for these locations (both VST and VST3).

Peter,

Would you please ask your developers to just show the products we actually own when we click on "Manage My Products"?  Currently it mixes what you own with stuff you don't own.

And it would be nice to be able to hide the scrolling product banner at the top of the Product Manager.

Cheers...

I just succesfully updated AmpliTube, Modo Bass, SampleTank and T-Racks.

I wish I had this a few months ago when I was installing StudioMax.

I like that I was able to choose the path where the installers were downloaded.  I set it to my USB docking station which is where I archive my studio software.  This saved me the time of moving the files from my laptop to that drive.

Wave Destroyer is an audio distortion plugin capable of a massive range of tones. The distortion character is endlessly tweak-able thanks to a unique compliment of controls as well as independent pre and post EQ sections. It can be used subtly as a saturator and exciter or it can be a tool of ultimate sonic destruction. Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, glitchy broken tones, and anything else you can dream up; its all possible with Wave Destroyer.

PreFET is a Machine-Learning based transistor pre-amp emulation which was designed using the same concept as PreTube. The included artificial neural network has learnt to precisely imitate the transistor pre-amp stage of a 70s tabletop cassette recorder. Depending on the Drive-Setting PreFET can colour your sounds from subtle analogue saturation to heavy overdrive.

This is sounding like something that's not worth downloading.  Too much hassle?  Or worth it?

It's not bad; but IMO it lacks 'character' compared to Kramer Master Tape, J37, Saturn, iZotope Exciter, etc.
