Hmmm. Maybe I didn't find that yet. The list of presets was fairly small. Maybe 20 entries at most? I didn't say anything with Rudess' name on it in that list either...

Thanks again bf... Yeah! Now I'm getting it! Using both the british amp and the 147 amp/cab... Getting much closer to what I want... Well, at least for this particular patch! 😉 Fun plugin... Very fat and rich sounding

Ha! I knew he used an amp to get his volume up there with the guitars, but I thought he used both. I'm sure I saw Leslies (plural) stacked on stage with him... But that may be the issue the particular sound I'm identifying with him is one that used either primarily or completely amp... Thanks bitflipper. I'll give it a try.

Rockin'! Installed and operating... Of course I was also surprised as I constantly confuse ik and ni... I've been using a very ancient NI B4 plugin for decades. I love it but it's 32bit so problems always... The B3-X sounds great though I'm still trying to create my favorite Jon Lords patch. Drawbars are the easy part, but setting up the Leslie? Whew! Anyone with pointers that might help would be appreciated... ...now back to Hammond-Land!

Juneteenth? I have nothing against what the day celebrate but I never heard of it being a federal holiday before . So I must wait another day so that the post office will be open and I can cash the money order to buy the B3X, ...more waiting

Cool! Now I'm understanding. I've seen the Berringer 2600 but didn't know it was rack mountable size. and I see that the depth was hidden in the view... Looks like a very fun playground. I'm sure you have lots of fun with it. I miss my 2600 a lot. These days I mostly use Cherry Audio's 2600 vsti as it's the closest I can get... It's a great piece of sodtware, but I miss the hands on feel of playing with it. I spent countless dreamy hours creating....

Nice setup. I miss my old Hammonds. Sadly, I’m far from a good enough B3 performer for this to matter much. I've heard/seen masters who truly use the drawbars as an inportant part of performance much as Jeff Beck incorporated his whammy and volume knob. For me the drawbars are mostly static settings so I haven’t had to consider such. I did create a drawbar studioware device way back then. I may even still be able to find it if anyone is interested? More important for me right now is a client just paid me enough so that tomorrow when the post office is open I will have access to enough funds to buy the B3x! I’m excited! May take a day or two but hopefully not and tomorrow finds me happily enjoying it!

Wow! Very cool! Who makes the arp? I would love to know more...

Oooh! I’m itchin' fir that Hammond! I’m still using ik's old 32bit b4 (i believe that’s the name) as it's still better than most out there. Opportunity calling! Can I resist? I’m essentially broke, but I know I can find a way if I give in! I'd love to drop another 32bit vst I’m still dragging around.

Yeah, but as they're aging, I guess financial needs finally superseded certain aspects of product "integrity"?

Where have I seen this before? 😉

Whew! I couldn't resist having a Moogerfooger... I love it! That said? What a pain the purchase was! The system is one of the most convoluted and complicated I've yet run into... Many screens and emails before finally finding what I needed. Then their system kept refusing my card? Works fine. I ended up using the same card through paypal so it is NOT the card. Could be their web pages as it was very unclear what was wanted where. Info boxes poorly labelled etc... Finding the download was difficult. Registering at two different moog websites to make everything happen... codes, authorizations in numerous places, then all the added issues of iLok... I'm dying to buy another but I don't think I want to go through that again!

Nicely put. Definitely one option to be hoped for. It would be again a very generous gift from "them"

The arp doesn’t appear to be deep enough to be a piece of hardware? Looking at left of screen it appears less than an inch deep.

Now that’s quite a pic! What am I actually looking at? It looks like hardware. An Arp2600 and a number of maybe eurorack modules? But the arp looks on-screen but there appear to be wires running from hardware in the foreground straight into the "screen" as if it’s hardware? No matter, looks cool!

Maybe some, but more so because it's GREAT!

Yes! I thought this a very reasonable take on the situation. I hope That the new Cakewalk designs something along this approach as I think it is a very fair deal!

Without Hesitation!

Yeah... I hear ya'! Old world synths especially the early polyphonics often had drift problems. I still own a piece of that. A few remaining modules of Oberheim SEM modules & kybd. Talk about drift. Using an 8 voice version back in the 80’s involved turning it on a night or day early of intended use to allow the drift to settle... I didn’t get to work with a moogone but I did a memorymoog and had no trouble. They still have the thickest sound of any analog synth I’ve worked with. I miss my minimoog big time. These days mostly replaced by arturia's minimoog and cherry audio's memorymode... (also cherry's arp2600 and OB8vouce but that’s another matter)

Yes... they are not the same company as when Bob was alive. Would you really expect otherwise? 🙂 ...and pricing? Well, the still make (arguably) one of the best product lines in the synth market (to me) and I still dream of owning a Model 15 and a Memorymoog before I die! oh, I’ve owned a Minimoog but sadly no longer.

I don’t know if this is good or bad but it caught my attention. So I thought to post it here to see what thoughts people might have here... ...a little scary watching all our favorite developers eaten up by conglomerates.

It may seem so to some, but I see it on track. You made many points... we all do or there would be no discussion. Lifetime subscriptions died when the company Cakewalk died... Any concessions that Cakewalk (subsidiary of Bandlab Industries) might decide to grant anyone are purely out of the kindness of their' heart. They have no legal or moral obligations. Social obligations? Maybe. I bought lifetime without blinking to support them as well as acquire for myself and would do so again if such a situation ever arises. Even if the new company offered it now! 🙂 ...yet I don’t even remotely consider any such obligation by these people.

To be fair, I feel you took what I said a bit differently than I intended. I was stating that Cakewalk sold lifetime in good faith. The parent company shut them down. Not a decision of their own. Company gone... all obligations terminated. New day! Someone (Bandlab) bought the remaining properties and began making decisions of what they wish to do with it. Their' decision? Share it with the world for free and pay out of pocket to continue it’s development. Years ago by ... Now, Bandlab has decided to begin marketing new products. Yes they are based in the code they bought and continue the line. Now while it would be a very nice gesture for them to create various deals to thank their' continuing followers, they are under no obligation either legally or morally. Socially? Yes. It will be nice as they have shown themselves (Meng, Noel, Jesse, Morten, and all the other Bakers) to be caring, and giving repeatedly. So I’m guessing they will offer more than reasonable accommodations...

Nice way of looking at it!

Yeah, we just stare out the window! 🙂 Funny... I have Macs and I had logic installed for a bit. It’s still the closest to Cake on a Mac, but Cake is still better for me.
