Scaler is better overall, but I have discovered (after letting instachord sit for 2 years) that for guitar parts instachord works slightly better for love input on guitar parts because of the ability to have multiple strum patterns and speeds. They work well together

I originally bought from PB and offer was still in my account

It's been free on gamepass for awhile and it is just as weird as it sounds

If studio one turns to trash I am going with Logic

I did not take his words to mean they were getting rid of pro but trying to create entry point that is usable without reading an actual manual. The strategy in the past was to give out an an "entry level" version of the pro version which requires you to have an understanding of the pro product to use but with less features. The core is identical but has locked features and less auxillary content. A DAW is going to be pretty hard to document in a manual less than 150 pages considering all the hardware products it replaces. Take every manual to every hardware console, processor, effect etc and you are still going to have a lot of documentation. For many of us, most if the manual is redundant. Most of us don't need a manual on an EQ and will simply start using from day 1. Fender, like other hardware manufacturers in the past make the fatal mistake when getting into software business of trying to recreate nostalgia of the "good ol days" of buying a 4 track and having a few friends plug into a cheap mixer in the garage. The truth is the customer base is too diverse for that to work.

It is my primary synth now. I often find myself using it for everything. Most of my bass even comes from it these days

Pigments is a known cpu hog but my computer handles it pretty well. I got upgrade. Worth it imo.

my computer wouldn't install. said it had a trojan and deleted install file lol

I think i will trigger today

I actually meant to say CPU hog but I am glad I messes up since you gave a good explanation

I expect such an instrument to be a memory hog. I tend to freeze these types of tracks early on.

Touché, but I do use the others, just not as much. A workhorse main synth is just bound to get more work than niche synths. It would be kinda weird to use a Mellotron daily?

I'm surprised how little info is out regarding differences aside from presets. I was looking for a way to adjust ADSR in the Intro version and was hoping full version had just that.

Hard to resist at this price. I can't justify upgrading from 8 to 9 to get a few more synths I will barely use, but the strings seem aimed at guys like me who love lush strings but don't make enough orchestral stuff to justify a dedicated string library

You would be surprised how many younger artists use Arturia. Hip-Hop and UK Drill artists love it. Also great for modern R&B and Lo-fi. Any genre that has the need for creating retro sounding samples they are better than most. Omnisphere is still king in the genres I named, but Arturia has a respectable showing. Not trying to sell you on them, but it might be worth a look. I too use Pigments more than the others. It just works

Never noticed that issue. Maybe I just lowered volume and kept going lol

I still use my old z3ta+ patches from him. Great sound designer

Retro machines is one of those products that fly under the radar because most of is received it as part of a suite of other NI products. It has quite a few usable sounds. The DX7 EP preset is perfect for Neo Soul and 90s RnB

How dare the non-believers doubt His Dealness!?

Crispy tuner for that price is awesome

Their one shots are good. This is more than worth the price if you don't already have a million drum samples

I will be honest and say that I don't understand how to make anything useful with euclidean generators lol

I can't justify it, but i can see a person who is looking to get into mpc style production and liking the idea of working completely without computers biting. I suspect you may be in a similar boat. You likely have multiple controllers, virtual instruments superior to the suite offered and some form of sampler. I have MPC software already and even id I didn't MPC Beats offers the sampler aspect for free.

And that pricing makes sense. You get a keyboard, audio interface and 1000 set of software for 290 euro more

I got it, opened once and have not touched it lol
