somehow I missed this at $19 at launch.  Anyone have it?  Any reviews?

 

I got it at launch and I think it's good. You can try it out for free to see if you want to pay the current price.

It's also in the guitar bundle that's really cheap at Lootaudio at the moment.

It got updated, there's VST3 and AAX versions now.

Great plugin for throwing together a drum track quickly.

Yes. I received an email with a discount for having the 8Dio version.

For this 1969 piano? I got a code for the 1985 piano a couple of months ago but haven't got one now.

No discount for those who have the Kontakt version this time. The price is lower though.

There's a lot of interesting presets. I've bought way too many keyboard/synth libraries recently but I'm tempted.

Many vendors don't have your products in the DB if you didn't buy directly from them,
and sometimes we just forget to "register" them ( I know from experience )

I did buy it directly from them though. They even sent 4 confirmation/code emails.

Weird, I bought this when there was an intro sale but I don't have it on my account.

And the download is still version 1.0 (iLok version 1.2).

I see $29,95.. is there a code I should apply?

The code is "STAM40".

I assume it means that I can install my Augmented Strings Intro on my external disk? Is it the same installer for both, the Intro and full?

Arturia Software Center is used to install. You can choose the folders yourself.

It didn't download anything when I upgraded. It just registered the full version.

If it was promoted on social media I'm not seeing that either.

There's ads on FB and IG. I'd imagine they're happening in the USA too because they mention dollars.

No other forums that have deals shows this.

It's promoted on social media and it was 70% off for me. Does this link work for you?

 I have that and the upgrade is $99.

Maybe it unlocks at a different time depending on your location.

So far I'm not seeing this.

Are you logged in and do you have Intro? Looks like it's free still.

Doesn't work for me. Clicking on the Buy Now button but nothing happens.

Try disabling adblock.

Downloaded and installed yesterday. Cannot get it to accept my registration code.

It did accept the the code eventually but it didn't happen smoothly. I checked the settings and clicked the login button instead of continue, not sure what helped.

I think there was something wrong with the drive if it overheated that easily.

Just let it update to W11 and you're done. 😉

I've tried several different upgrades since last year, but I always get "You are not eligible to purchase this version."

New update 2.0.7.

Still very slow to open and I still don't see a third party Reaktor library I have.

They're doing the same thing again. Release notes with the version number typo:

Changes from version 1.5.0: 

New module pack available for purchase: Sunset Sound Reverb Collection SE edition available for purchase, with upgrade path to Full CS version available with 8 starter modules and over 30 new presets for free

Native support of Apple M1 processor

macOS: Improved UI resizing smoothness

Windows: Implemented a UI optimization that could improve text readability

General reliability improvements

A dollar more at Audiodeluxe (+freebies).

On Windows you can open the .exe files in for example 7-Zip. Inside there's a .tar file which contains the instrument file which can be extracted wherever you want.

Is it crashing Reaper using a simple Philharmonik 2 project, or just with a full orchestra multi?

Is it crashing with VST2 or VST3? I saw on another post that you mentioned you were using Windows 11. Did it also crash on Windows 10?

You probably want to go ahead and get a ticket open with IKM support. 

VST3 just multi on W10. I don't think W11 changes anything, but I'll test it a bit.

I think a support ticket would be 5-10 years too late. 😉

I've tried to use Philharmonik 2 full orchestra live multis a few times in Reaper but they've always made Reaper crash pretty soon. It's the only VST that's crashing Reaper. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Tell us how you like windows 11.

I installed it recently and had zero problems. Even my 15-year-old webcam worked right away (better than W10).

One thing I had to do was to buy Start11 and use it to change the start menu and taskbar back to the way I like them. I like the full screen start menu so I can open any app in a couple of seconds by using just the mouse.

Is NI going to end-of-life the 1.x installer and push out the v2 to all?

Is it recommended for all v1x user to upgrade now?

I wouldn't bother updating manually. Some of my libraries seem to be missing from 2.06.
