Product Page : http://rigid-audio.com/products_sore.html This seems to be another Rigid Audio Cinematic Loop Underscoring instrument using the same engine as Cinematrix. I wonder how it is going to be distinguished from it, considering that its interface looks exactly like that of Cinematrix.

Finally got it! I am gonna have a lot of fun with this!

It appears to be Dimension V02 from DSK.

I think I may have found a close match, it's a patch from the DSF Classic Keys, under Atmospheres called Synth Jumper. I also went ahead and made custom versions with more modulations on the Jupiter 8 layer, and with an extra Grand Piano layer added. It should work, provided you own the DSF Classic Keys expansion.

Yeah, I agree that the demo really isn't a pure representation of the instrument, but I can assure you, it's clean DI.

What sort of amp sims did you try?

I have tried that before, and it didn't work. While it did eventually kill Cakewalk, the ASIO drivers are still occupied and will not be available after a relaunch.

Also, their functionality is superceded by the Sonitus effects suite and ProChannel modules.

Yeah this problem is still a thing, when Cakewalk crashes unexpectedly, which can happen sometimes, it hijacks any Audio or MIDI drivers it uses, like the Arturia Keylab Drivers and the ASIO drivers of my Roland SD-50 making them unavailable to be used in ASIO mode, or in subsequent launches of Cakewalk until a system restart. It also stays a zombie process and cannot be force-terminated from the task manager until I go to the resource monitor and suspend the zombie Cakewalk proccess. This is unacceptable, there should be a way to force Cakewalk to release those drivers upon temination so they can be continued to be used without needing a reboot. This is important, because rebooting is the ultimate interrupt to a workflow, and sometimes when you get into project files that for one reason or another becomes unstable, that can happen a lot.

I know it's late, but I finally tried the patches you suggested and it didn't really work out. Now that I have a better understanding of sound design. It seems to be some sort of arpeggiated synth sequence with a filter sweep on an LFO. What makes this patch unique is that it seems to react to this riff here : In a way where a ghost pattern lasting several bars emerged, with a seeming high pitch spike manifesting every 4 bars.

Oh no, it's all Clean DI. I would know, because I have used them.

I mean, Audio Assault has never did me wrong. I have yet to buy a plugin from them that I didn't like. But this does sound like self-sabotage in that those who buy into it due to reduced price will be the first ones to complain anything goes wrong, scaring off any would-be customers after release.

This is a nice deal for what it does, but I already cashed my chips on the Palette series a while back, so I will not be jumping for this.

I recommend Unreal Instruments to get the clean DI, and then running them through either TH3, or perusing one of the Audio Assault amp sims currently on sale. They work very well and are light on resources. Here is a WIP of something I am working on using the Metal GTX for the melody guitar, Shreddage 3 Stratus 3 for the Rhythm section, Abyss for the Bass, and GGD Invasion for the Drums. I also used AGML II Lite for the Acoustic Guitars. As for FX, I used Amplitube 4, Grind Machine II, Head Crusher and RM-2. https://metapop.com/valerie-grimaude-valens/tracks/compassion-is-the-way-2019-master/98332

Try loading the song into a matrix view and assigning an extra audio track to playing external songs?

There's the Meat Bass from Karoryfer Samples which runs on Sforzando.

Sitala seems to be what you need for Drum samples. You might also want to look at Sforzando.

I just found out about this, but right now, and for a limited time (Obviously) the Waves Grand Rhapsody Piano is on sale for $40, and with an extra $10 off with the code GIFT10.

It's bad though. You're better off using SForzando and the Unreal Instruments free libraries, and yeah sure, it may not be a wall of sound massive right out of the box, but I'd argue that a Clean DI is much better so you can use your own FX Chains with it. If you need an amp, Audio Assault has a Black Friday deal still going on right now.

Have you checked to see if CSC is loaded into the project? You might want to hit Alt+9 to check your synth rack. If it has been loaded, try removing the synth, and reloading it.

I remembered playing around with the demo years ago, good stuff!

It also doesn't help that I grabbed 8DiOboe and was really satisfied with it. I think I'll just save up for the next sale.

Must....resist....GAS You know, that feel where you can just barely afford something, but you know you should be saving? I have that.

It means that the plugin is broken, and you might want to look into 64 bit alternatives.

Like for example, you have clip A which have notes at the low end of the PRV, clip B which has arpeggiation all over the keyboard range, and then clip C which has chords in the mid range, right? Put them in the folder, and when it's collapsed, the clip pane would show data from all 3 clips in one pane. In a similar example with audio files, it will show the waveform preview of all the summed up audio clips in the folder pane. In the case where you have MIDI and Audio data, you could have the MIDI data display, super imposed over the waveform preview.
