In my neck of the woods, we have a bundle of first class microbreweries. We Canadians take our beer seriously.

Oh you beat me to it. And I had such imaginative titles for this thread... IK 25th Anniversary Group Buy Part Deux IK 25th Anniversary Group Buy Thread- The Sequel IK 25th Anniversary Group Buy - No Poly Ticks Allowed

Pre-pre-deleted just in case what I say is misconstrued.

Hope this doesn't lock this thread, but here is a link to the explanation of the meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thanks-obama

Can a thread be reopened once it is locked?

The comment was pretty innocuous, I thought. The poster listed a bunch of bad things that happened to him and then ended it with "Thanks Obi-Wan" referencing the meme about O getting blamed for everything bad.

For what is it worth, AmpliTube 5.2 works fine for me in Studio One. Also the VH4 does seem to be any more power hungry on my machine than any other amp.

Well here is one step back. Every time I open AmpliTube 5.2 in standalone now it tells me that if I want to use any gear in trial mode, I should start the IK Multimedia Product Manager and restart AmpliTube 5. Thing is, I own everything in AmpliTube and have no need for trial mode. How do I get rid of this message?

So all you need to do is mention Obayamaha in a thread and you can kill it?

I don't get it. How are we ever supposed to beat the KVR thread count now?

Why is it now locked?

If you ever saw me dance, you would know that I break dance (ie. nothing I do resembles dance).

I never give you my number I only give you my situation And in the middle of investigation I break down

Who is this she?

We actually only need about 6/hour to make the goal. In the last 8 hours, it has been 16/hour. So unless someone turns off the lights and we all go home, we can party on.

I am not Peter (obviously), but you would qualify for Amplitude 5 and Sampletank 4. I bought Amp5 for $199 and was able to pick up Sampletank 4, Sampletron 2, Modo Drum, Hammond B-3X, etc at the crossgrade price, even though the MSRP was above $199.

The software versions of X-Pedals for AT5 were/are a separate $149.99/pedal purchase. The update only provided for the ability to add the X-Pedals to AT5 but did not add the actual pedals.

You mean, like iRig Keys I/O 25 or UNO Synth?

Too true. This has actually made me excited about the GB again (which of course was its intended purpose). I no longer feel left out because I already had everything. Now is that really mixed up or what?

31 new items? Oh no! I will only have 28 free slots if this goes the rest of the way to 25x1. I want it all! How can you do this to me, Peter? Now I have to choose which three not to get. Wait...I only count 27.

The install to location is different than the download folder location. The download folder location is specified in the Product Manager options and it is where the installation file are downloaded before they are installed. That is probably where you are short on space.

This is a brand new plugin, released a couple of days ago, so I doubt this is what you have. I did not take to InstaChord or InstaScale either. This one look more useable though, kind of a scaled down RapidComposer.

Thanks for you thoughtful response. This is certainly more helpful than "sounds pretty lame to me". I guess how you respond to a plugin like InstaComposer depends on your tastes, goals and expectations. If you feel that only humans can produce listenable music and you want your plugins to produce music that sounds like it was produced by humans, then these plugins will be a disappointment. I actually found the InstaComposer videos interesting and could see how it might spark ideas. I do not look at these plugins with the idea that they will produce songs for me. I believe that part of the creative process in using these plugins is being able to see the possibilities presented and then expand on them, kind of like taking a piece of diftwood and carving it into a image based on the hints of an image contained in the driftwood.

So this tool is not for you. Are there any generative midi tools that you find useful or are you of the school that all generative midi tools are garbage?
