Inside that folder is a 'Virtual Guitarist CARBON 1.0.1 (497).exe' and three related .bin files. I have only the .exe and one empty .bin file. The download said it was completed at 4.1GB so I have no idea where the rest of it went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Search your entire system for a file called "VG-CARBON.blob" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulo 4,157 Posted September 6, 2020 Imagine all the bad words that you ever heard of...........today I direct all of them in the general direction of UJAM. 4 download attempts later I finally get all the files, install them, run the VST scan, so far so good..........hope it was worth the fuss...............the UI is opening and...........Trial Period has EXPIRED. Erm, I installed it for the first time just now, so WTF? Imagine all those bad words again with UJAM on the end. 😬 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Bradley 362 Posted September 6, 2020 Thinking maybe I don't need a free copy of Carbon after all. The whole process sounds more than a little annoying for a thing I'm unlikely to ever use, beyond the initial dick-around-with-and-then-forget-about stage. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got Iron and Sparkle and they show up in Komplete Kontrol I don't know the answer to why, but when I checked I found that Carbon is available as a regular plug-in in KK, but it doesn't show up in the KK Library. Further checking of the UJAM folder in C:\ProgramData\UJAM shows that Sparkle has a NKS sub- folder, but Carbon does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is worth 4gigs of HD space, honestly that is the question I'd pose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd recommend trying the demo first, then if you no likey, you can get your 4GB back. No risk, except for a few minutes of your time! 😉 I do like the instrument mode, where you can actually play the instrument without using the preset phrase player. This mode has keyswitch articulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't really used it so can't comment, but I have plenty of guitar equipment - so I'm not exactly the typical customer for a guitar plugin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you launch the program in your DAW a registration dialog will pop up asking you to login and active it. This, unfortunately for me, does not work in any DAW that I've tried, so still haven't been able to register. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have already done this part, then I could only imagine that you are having some sort of networking issue. You must be online to activate. Are you using a firewall?

Philip G Hunt 590 Posted September 10, 2020 I promised myself I wouldn't, but I caved. 😖 Ended up going the full izotope. Got Iris 2 for £9. What a bargain! Ujam Carbon was a pleasant surprise. I've already got silk and the other one, but Carbon is great for sound design. Tomorrow I'll play about with the others. 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
