It's not over yet 😨

I need either an intervention or an exorcist. 

Here we go , at one pint you'll get the uad and see it's enougth .... heheh and probaly negligeable on cpu hit versus softube

Larry is back ... thedow jones jumped 2.5 today lol

Hit the support , since their update with the wrapper and resize it doubled !! Liteeraly , might be oversampling or some but i asked them , and finally tolled back to old versions ...

Amproom also , i m stiking with the old one , as for synth i skipped for cpu hit also, old ones are ok 

By the way guyz @jngnz

Here i explain how to use it for all your plugins (and don't forget synths )

For synths , guyz i need your help to find those kinda stuff we can make on demand : 

I wanna make some for C1

I was just thinking the other day during mixing how amazing it would be to have to stare at my screen less.

Might have to get Console 1.

This was one of the best investment i made  BUT beware , i'll get loked in the ecosystem ..... sounds is superb (and i could mix with it only ) but CPU will increrease fast .... so my advise for exemple is use the API as a test , and drop it on all channles and buses you wanna control and see how things goes .... it is more cpu hungry than the Neve and SSL 4000 ,on par with the SSL 9000 and Chandler if i recall well ...the most consuming being the Weiss witch is usually on my master or during mastering (a pure beauty)

Wow— anyone using this?  Lowest I’ve ever seen it advertised.  I have Infinistrip, OMNi Channel, etc.  Does this fill a gap somewhere in there?

If you own console 1 , this might be , but if not , i do think the UAD is superior , PA is a joke ... strange to be honest ....

The softube versus UAD has this ability to get you non stepped values if important .

lol didn't even knew form was granular ahahah thks for the thread ....

Pad shop is great , or grab something like straiglight from NI (i did to drop my samples in and it's superb)

In context with the now expired BF price you're quoting - yeah.
Still a bit pricey but not so much compared to the current pricing.

His/her/their skins are awesome.

If you have Hive 2.1 (which was released with a plugmon skin**) you should pick up the free dark version here.
**https://plugmon.jp/2021/03/hive-2-1-is-released-and-my-skin-officially/

I picked up Neuman Pro for Zebra but for me that was kind of a waste because I haven't touched Zebra since I got it (combination of circumstances, nothing to do with the synth itself). Nice skin, will come in handy if I ever take that deep dive into Zebra like I had planned.

I mean to pick up Tokyo Ghost for Bazille (around $15) after the holidays.

I went back to zebra the other day just to check , and it's sublime , how well it aged , i'm selling my hive licence because basically i tend to graviate around emultaions and for serious sound design , i went hive instead of pigment for cpu prupose , but i foun dmyslef still going old school way ...

Designing complex stuff is less and less and i rather grab an hydrasynth or a blofeld if i need that to add to possibilities , hands on controls ...  

You should give zebra some time , once you get to master it it is imho , a pure beauty and something that paved the way for a lot of others ...

35 euros for a skin of a synth we buy 75 is a litlle too much 

the wavetables for hive are interesting ...

IS plugmon ever doing sales ?

https://plugmon.jp/

Theres a gearlsutz version with a license of plugin doctor offered ....lol 

Yep you need to play actually  or it goes idel (if vst 3) 

Some synths don't allow sleep if audio is not generated they anyway keep max loads on cpu , last moog is like that

CPU is not something I usually monitor as I seldom have problems. 

CPU hits shows as around 6% in the according to UVI Workstation's display, but in windows task manager +/- 0.5%  I suspect the CPU meter in Workstation refers to one core.

in contrast GForce's  SEM is +/- 0.3% and Arturia's  Pigments from 1.5 to 2.0%

CPU hit in Falcon is a little higher but remains below 1% in task manager

All the samples are in a monolithic *.UFS file. While some have recognisable names like "Harpischord"  they are not realistic but do provide useful sound sources.  In factory presets they are often layered with the conventional oscillator. 

You need to give us cpu hit in daw , in task manager it doesn't means a lot since , in your daw , if only one core is loaded , you get droppoed or crackles starying to appears , even if you 30 % overwall in task manager , hence the pressure we put to dev , to code optimise for Multi core use (thk you UHE !!       , UVI , MOOG are you listeneing , Roland ? lol )

Oh... I'm not implying that it wouldn't Zo. It's just that every other MS-20 VST version has emulated analog oscs or is entirely sample based. This being a hybrid and "korg flavored" virtual synth not including the waves I mentioned is kind of a wasted opportunity (as I said... IMO).

Edith: and I don't even know if the waves are included or not. I haven't looked with more attention to this yet. Mainly because I'm more interested in  the new Moog VST right now.

lol the mogg was an easy pass for me , 40 % cpu on my laptop witch is more powerfull than my desktop is enougth to skip (for reference , the softube model 72 is 12 % on this one)

If they included the waves from the DW8000 and the DWGS from MS2000 this could be considered a "good enough" emulation of these synths IMO, except maybe for the filter that is different on the MS20.

If they provode a good MS 20 filter (maybe two versions) this could be something solid imho and enougth !!

Taking the time to say that i really dig Venus's videos ....for UVI ... never boring and straight , less detailed than some others but enougth to get crucial infos ...

Installed. (I have the Sonic Pass sub) .

Its an interesting architecture with two oscillators with a conventional choice of waveforms and a sample layer with a good choice of samples. The Oscillators and the sample have separate filters both HP and LP with individual resonance.

Its very programable and way beyond rompler territory and I was very quickly creating sounds far from the initial patch. First impressions are its probably one of the most versatile of UVI synth libraries. 

Cool i need your precisions  : Wavetable , are they original wave form in wave table format or just fancy custom ones (or both) ?

Cpu hit : ? (give us if ya can a reference with another well used plugin) 

Thks !

" Zut alors! I just popped outside to smoke a Gauloises and that guy who just wants to play with everything all day is coming down the street.....quick let's all hide, but don't tell Jean Luc... let that sucker deal with him..." 

Literraly until he said "zo , i gotta close , are you taking the syntakt " ....  ahahaha

lol i went to shop today ... and played all day , went to see syntakt and try it , tried some other drum machines ,prophets , oberheim OBx8 , gaia 2 , Nord  Waves 2 , then went to workstations and controller , and the one that impressed me was it , from keayboard feel to features , as for synth , i  had room for a big one , i would have went out with the nord !!! yep or the prophet rev 2

Hmmm...

So they are allowing iLok to stay in use instead of changing to this proprietary system?

Curious as well , that is use ikok to get licence to moog , how do they know the serials or licence ? I dont understand how they get it , is it duringbthe plugin phase or account creation phase ?

I kinda like iLok more than some in-house activations.

So do we have the choice to stick with it ?
