    Other than the envelope, I don't see a lot of correlation.

    A lot of modern virtual-instruments have similar UIs (Icarus, Avenger, Serum, Pigments, etc).

    If you look at guitar processors, Line-6's Helix almost defined the current generation's UI (Quad Cortex, GT-1000, Headrush, etc).

     

    IMO, looks closer to Tone2's Saurus:

    No. It doesn't. Lol

    Yeah. It's a bit of a strange one....they talk of it as "taking the studio to the stage", but then made it look like a piece of designer furniture that should never leave the home. The central controller screen/wheel is fine when just noodling ideas about in the "studio", but looks less than ideal for live purposes. That's not to say that I don't quite like it, just that for me it misses the point of what they say the point of it is.

    A MK3 keylab with a NI sized screen and V collection/ALV built in is more like what it needed to be to achieve the stated aim.

    At that pricepoint NI should be able to make a Standalone NKS Keyboard, where you could have the same Arturia sounds and then some

    EZKeys 2 Updated to 2.0.5

    Release notes for EZkeys 2.0.5

    2024-04-02

    EZkeys 2.0.5 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the ‘My Products’ area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 2.0.5 is required for the support of EZkeys sound expansions (EKXs) released from this point forward (Q2 2024).

    CHANGES

    Session Organ EKX

    Bandmate and the Grooves tab now have an “Adjust for Organ” button/function, which can make non-organ MIDI sound better with the organ.

    The Velocity controls in Edit Play Style, Bandmate and the Grooves tab are replaced by Expression controls when Session Organ is loaded.

    In Session Organ, starting Song Track playback in the middle of long notes will start playing those notes.

    Pedals Drawbar 2 (Fundamental) has changed CC mapping from CC34 to CC35.

    Tooltips for drawbar preset keys in the Grid Editor now say the preset name.

    Song Track

    The Import MIDI dialog now has an option to apply current MIDI Input settings.

    Visual feedback is shown on MIDI blocks when CC is recorded.

    Grooves Tab

    Some rearrangement at the top of the Grooves tab: “Song Key” was moved next to “Tempo” and “Show Web Shop MIDI” was moved to the right.

    Grid Editor

    In the context menu, “Select All Notes” was renamed to “Select All” and got an icon.

    “Merge” has been added to the context menu.

    Merge can now be used when notes on different rows are selected, to merge notes that are on the same rows.

    CC Editor

    For MIDI blocks with no active CC nodes, the latent CC value is now shown with a horizontal line in the CC editor.

    When CC curves are edited, EZkeys now avoids merging blocks, if possible, so that no ramp is created between the last node of the a block and the first node of the following block.

    Double-clicking with the Pencil Tool no longer inserts two nodes, and a click on an existing node now removes it.

    Bandmate

    Grooves in the Riffs folders in the Session Organ MIDI will always pass through the tempo filter.

    BUG FIXES

    General

    Fixed several cases of notes getting stuck ringing.

    Trying to import an EZkeys 1 project when Session Organ EKX was loaded would cause a crash.

    Now also for Session Organ: a green dot is shown on the MIDI In/Out menu in the bottom right corner if the MIDI Input settings are not in the default state.

    Song Track

    “Automatically Loop Selection” made the Loop button not work when no block was selected.

    When “Automatically Loop Selection” is on and a block becomes selected, the playhead will now jump to the beginning of that block, as intended.

    When “Restrict Recording to Loop Area” is on, the red recording area will only appear where recording is really being done, i.e., inside the loop area.

    Recording CC over blocks that already contain such CC has been fixed/improved.

    Wrong initial state could be recorded for Rotary Speed (in Session Organ).

    Recording over existing blocks now sets the Song Part Type to that of the first old block instead of always to Verse.

    When playback would reach a new MIDI block (where playback did not start), CC values to the left of the first nodes were not applied.

    Adding MIDI blocks with the Pencil Tool did not properly update the Grid Editor to show all the new notes (unless Session Organ was being used).

    Edit Play Style

    Using Amount on a block without any notes would cause a crash.

    Grid Editor

    Merged notes could get unmerged if a chord over the block was changed.

    It was not possible to merge notes in different MIDI blocks. The blocks now become merged.

    “Paste Timing Settings” would apply an incorrect swing value (unless it was 0).

    Turning on Solo for a Session Organ manual no longer mutes the notes that are currently playing in the soloed channel(s).

    In Session Organ, changing channels for a note (through the Organ Part submenu in the context menu) no longer changes which channel is active for editing. Also, the Organ Part submenu is now disabled if no notes are selected.

    Bandmate

    On Mac (in version 2.0.4 only), drum MIDI as source did not produce any sounds.

    Settings

    Closing the Settings dialog with the Esc key did not turn off metronome preview.

    I wrote this DAW off because there is no such thing as a loyalty upgrade.

    I think they ditched upgrades from any version but the previous one, when they released v12. 

    If they don't have an upgrade even from V12 to V13, that would be stupid

    would be great if the damn  Productmanager was working properly.
    Most of the time it doesn't show if it's downloading.
    But you can't close the program because it thinks it's downloading

    Isn't this just a bug fix release? 12.5 has been released in May last year.

    Probably the final update on this version until they will release V13.0 in a month or two

    Just checked in my Ableton account to see if Live Lite 12 is there yet. Still just showing Live 11 Lite - does anyone know if they are making a Lite version of 12. I don't use Live enough to justify the cost of the Intro version

    I assume so. I think the lite version is a month or so behind the 'regular' release. And from what I remember the Lite versions upgrade each time.

    Yes, same as REAPER was once freeware and is now payware.

    Are you suggesting  that if someone likes programs that go from freeware to payware they might also like REAPER?

    Seems like an odd criterion....

    Oh, I so hope Cakewalk Sonar will have the same pricing structure as Reaper...
