Okay so here's the situation, I had a mega rack in Kontakt with 13 instruments loaded, and I wanted to split the tracks into multiple instances of Kontakt to modularize the workflow. So I opened another instance, deleted the loaded instruments, then reloaded the instruments in another instance, before splitting the instrument tracks to properly assign them to the new synth. Then when I tried to re-emerge the tracks, I get an error message telling me that they need to be assigned to the same synth. This is confusing, because they are. What am I missing here?

I'd gladly oblige, but you'll need Blocks Primes Polysynth 1.nksr

Oh back on the topic of Voltage Modular, I made this, it's a 3 layer arp patch that you play chords with. I included the preset for anyone willing to play around. Put it in <User>\AppData\Roaming\Voltage\Presets\User Presets\Arps 3 Layer.voltagepreset

Blocks is amazing. Like in just a couple of days, I've learned to make this monstrosity. A monophonic polysynth with cross modulation options.

You can find plenty of smaller, but also fantastic deals on PluginBoutique and KontaktHub, to name a few.

I got Nucleus, it's great. What you can do with what's available is quite impressive. I'd explore more, but right now I am playing around with Reaktor 6 which I just got from SoS

Tempting, but I am gonna go with my Reaktor Full upgrade this time around.

Were you thinking of women with a little extra again?

Well, I got Komplete Select, so in the future upgrades will be easier.

This is a pretty good one to grab. Especially in conjunction with the sequencer, you could get some interesting basslines this way.

I grabbed the ST Tonewheel, the demos won me over :3

I am more asking about best practices. Like number of bars, BPM, etc.

Does anyone know how to make use of the User loop section of the instrument? I figured that it's a way for us to insert our own things into the instrument, but I am not sure how to prepare and integrate my own sounds.

FrontDAW is good for when you have to have some more drive and character to your tracks. The Pro Channel console has a bit of a gentler character that is good for general purpose, so it's one of those cases where having more tools at your disposal is better. While we're on the topic of console emulators, Waves Abbey Road REDD is also on sale for $29.99 with code CREATIVE40, it's a no-brainer at this price point.

I second this request

Y'all should grab this. I would have grabbed this myself if I didn't already own it.

Yeah, I stopped looking at the TH-3 series the day I found out about Audio Assault, which is really a shame because the guys really looked like they wanted to make the best amp sims they can.

This is a powerful synth for which I only begun to scratch the surface of. Highly recommended

As an early adopter of Paradox Lost Redux, I highly recommend anything this developer does. I absolutely loved what they did with Mountains and Allmosphere, Autumn Choirs is also very nice.

This is really tempting...

This is a company I would definitely recommend you check out, they put out quality plugins at practically dirt cheap prices, and are super helpful. They also worked with Wavelet Audio when they produced the seminal Cabal8 virtual guitar library for Kontakt Full, by also making an amp sim that goes with it, called the Bulldozer. If you're not convinced, Glen Fricker has reviewed their two recent ones Sigma and RVXX.

Yeah I am inclined to agree, they do sound like amateur recordings that you'd find in soundfont files for GM 20 years ago, quite synthetic.

I am looking for a nice keyboard carrying case that will fit my Arturia Keylab Essentials 49

Now this is a better choir bundle. I like Impact Soundworks' stuff. :3
