  1. Who's ya Dadi?

    Ample Sound has released Ample China Dadi (ACDD), a new virtual instrument built on the Woodwind Sample Engine (native Apple Silicon M1 support), with 5.8 GB samples, including head and body articulations, FX sounds, as well as a select collection of improvised licks.

    The Artist: Xiaokui Ding (China National Traditional Orchestra).

    The Instrument: The Singing of Dragon C D E F G key 5 Dadis (Xuehua Dong Masterbuilt).

    Sampling:

    Recorded with 5 mics (Front, Middle, Back, Stereo Ambient). Each mic volume is adjustable and equipped with channel EQ.

    3 Mic modes: Mono, Modern and Traditional, capable of colorful sound designs.

    There are 3 kinds of articulations – Head Group (blue keyswitches), Body Group (yellow keyswitches) and Special Effect Group (red keyswitches). Each group occupies one octave.
    The head group is used to perform grace notes at head. Articulations with more grace notes are assigned to higher keyswitches; Ascending and descending articulations are close together.
    The body group can not only perform grace notes at head, but can also be used for articulation legatos to express changes of the sound body.

    The woodwinds have great dynamic range and timbre variation. The sample library provides 5 velocity layers, with sound from mildly soft to bright and strong.

    There are 2 velocity layers for Expression articulation, 2 velocity layers for Vibrato articulation, and real samples of Trill sounds. Together with SAHDS virtual modulation system, they can create vivid and realistic notes.
    Note velocity is used to control the start time of Expression and Vibrato articulations, to generate slowly developing notes or strong notes.

    The sample length is about 8 seconds on average. In most cases, it can meet the requirements of a note. If longer notes are needed, users can turn on the Sample Loop function.

    Features:

    Intelligent Legato System:

    The Auto Legato System detects the duration of each note. For legatos whose duration is less than this value, only the straight legato will be triggered to ensure that no unwanted grace notes are generated during fast performance.

    When note duration is longer than Legato Time:

    Velocity(126-127)Triggers Layering Legato (Ascending) and Ripple Legato(Descending

    Velocity(96-125)triggers Grace Legato

    Velocity(32-96)triggers Straight Legato

    Velocity(16-31)triggers Soft Legato 1

    Velocity(1-15)triggers Soft Legato 2

    In Slide Legato mode, low velocity triggers slide notes.

    In the real performance of the Woodwind, the legatos are ever-changing, sometimes hard and sometimes soft. Legatos with no changes cannot completely simulate real performance.

    Hold pedal can be used to turn on Double Legato Mode.

    Endless Articulation Legato:

    The body group can be used for endless articulation legatos. For example, you can start with a Sustain, hold the note, then play the Expression Keyswitch (C1) to play legato to an Expression note; then play Marking keyswitch (E1) to play legato to a Marking note, and then press Laying keyswitch (F1) to play legato to a Laying note, and so on.

    Creative Mirroring Feature:

    Playing the keyswitch when a note is sounding will reverse the sample at current position. It changes for example a Slide Up to Slide Down, or a Slow-Fast Vibrato to Fast-Slow Vibrato. It can also be used to control the sustained body of notes like Expression.

    Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System:

    Each voice has its on SAHDS modulation envelope.

    You can get natural and realistic vibratos while keeping the Mod wheel in one position.

    The mod speed, gain, and pitch can also be adjusted.

    Adjustable Wind Effect:

    The Wind is the sound of air blowing in the Woodwind tube. We extracted this sound from each real sample to enable the independent control of this element.

    The sound of the woodwind without the Wind is very pure. Moderately control the volume of the Wind, and make some changes during the performance, can increase the feeling of "dirty" and breath, and improve the realism.

    Other new features include sample skipping technology, random articulation, keyboard mode for playing chords etc.

    System Requirements:

    Windows: Windows 7/8/10, 64-bit only (32-bit not supported).

    Mac: 10.9 or newer versions.

    VST2, VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone host (Rectangles).

    Intel i5 or higher.

    iLok Anti-Piracy system, which requires a free iLok account. The license can be stored on the local machine without an iLok dongle, or on 2nd/3rd generation iLok dongle.

    Intro Price: $109 until February 20th, 2022 (Reg. $149).

    i wonder why, when the update can be done via cakewalk? is it just for new users getting the app for the first time?

    It's for those who have opted for the "Beta" program.  If you go to settings, there is an option to 
    get the beta updates.  Yes, Cakewalk updates can be done via Cakewalk directly now, but
    there are still things in BLA for some!

    Does that mean that going forward, hosts will eventually stop scanning for/loading VST2 plugins? I tend to only install VST3 ones nowadays, but I'm wondering if it means I'll (eventually) no longer be able to use some of the older VST2 plugs I have.

    I only install the VST3 Versions, unless there is none...then I install VST2.
    Soon I won't have even do that I suppose

  8. Another reply:

    Sorry for your issue, I am Jason one of the Support Managers and will be taking over here to help you resolve the issue.

    Let me explain in more detail here so you understand.

    You participated in the Group Buy this summer which you were able to choose many free IK plug ins. It looks like you haven't authorized many of them.

    One of the plug ins you choose was the EQ 81 among other items. So you own it already and can't redeem it if you already have it.

    My response?

    NOPE!  TOTALLY WRONG!

    ALL means ALL...not "Select"...not "with the following exceptions"....ALL

    They'll regret playing these idiotic games with customers...I GUARANTEE IT!

    I don't need it...it's the PRINCIPLE!

    The FOLLOWING is from the Truth in Advertising Act

    When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it's on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful.
    Under the law, claims in advertisements must be truthful, cannot be deceptive or unfair, and must be evidence-based.

    Did you buy TS MAX 3.5 after GB25?  If so, try telling them that you should have been entitled to the promotional EQ-81 based on that purchase, not based on the prior GB25 "freebie" selection.

    Completely Irrelevant.   It says ALL T-RACKS USERS...not "select" or "Group Buy Participants Excluded"! 

    It shouldn't matter if I have 500 Licenses....ALL T-Racks users means "ALL"
