Anxiousmofo Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Yuck on the timing of this release after I just blew a bunch of cash. Can anyone tell what, if any, new sound/synth content is included since v3? I see a lot on new feature/structure updates, but the new sounds part is escaping me.

Also, SA3 has about 3,700 presets, compared to just over 5,000 for SA4. As a result, SA3 requires 15GB of disk space, whereas SA4 requires 21GB. I have SA3 and will keep it. Regardless any potential enhancements and being offered the update for €49, I hate the new four-shades-of-gray UI of SA4. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't yet looked at the manuals, but it seems they would want to emphasize the new sounds content more in their ad copy. I appreciate the info. To the extent this makes SA more MPE friendly and less MPE-setup-cumbersome in Falcon, that alone makes the update worthwhile to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Can anyone with Synth Anthology 1 or 2 share their upgrade price? I have 3 and the 49 upgrade price but given I haven't really used it much I'm tempted to wait for a future upgrade. Assuming the upgrade from 1 or 2 is 49 as well. Much closer to the intro price of 89 and it wouldn't look much like an upgrade price at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott H Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Does it make any sense to get Synth Anthology if you already have Vintage Vault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 $49 here from version 2. I take it I can uninstall 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any SA, but my upgrade price is $49. It obviously has many more synths than VV, but, do I really need it. (Probably not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 48 minutes ago, Scott H said: Does it make any sense to get Synth Anthology if you already have Vintage Vault? I’m afraid so. Vintage Vault is much larger, holding all the separate UVI synths, while Synth Anthology is more like al integrated vehicle, somewhat comparable to Arturia’s Analog Lab. Conversely, you could compare Vintage Vault to Arturia’s V Collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The dual engine is what makes SA4 different from SA3, apart from more sounds and FX. That dual engine reminds me of what AAS have done with the latest installments of their instruments. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dual engine reminds me of what AAS have done with the latest installments of their instruments. It reminds me of those quick n cheap Play Series Kontakt instruments which NI have been focusing on instead of creating real synths. I don't particularly like any of those Kontakt instruments, however, UVI's sample/sound quality is much higher.

Fleer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Yeah, that A/B bitimbral thing doesn’t imbue originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 On the other hand, that new Proximity Explorer seems very interesting, offering eight alternatives for every sound you pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here the gui is an insult, also i don t see any upgrade price , i hade originaly an nfr of 3 bougth the upgrade of v 3 and dont see any upgrade offer .... seems im supposed to buy new versions evrytime ? Lol better not having an nfr to strt with . what i see is that newresets must be based on this dual concept . my advise for anyobdy seriously looking for those vintage sounds : 1) stickwith v3 2) disable scond osc 3) take of all fx original soundsource will then reveal themselves and will show they true caracter printed by the hw ! the dual approch is the second osc enhnced in v 3 , sound matching is exactly what s present in xln audio XO if we have control over that lfo in the mix area , it cn be great but it deosnt seem to be teh case , a more solid way to play with the mix mod ( enveloppe , seq or several lfo type) is imho a must , maybe its there but didnt seen this ....

Promidi Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Can someone who has SA4 on UVIWorkstation 3.1.12 and select any 28. machine preset and post what happens. When I select any 28. machine preset, I get SA4 display an error mesage "Unable to load the convolution reverb data from'SFalcon Resources.ufs/Samples/Convolver/Speaker/Champion.wav'" and "Unable to load the convolution reverb data from'SFalcon Resources.ufs/Samples/Convolver/Speaker/bass Green.wav'" I have reported this to UVI support but I just want to make sure it's not just me.
