Lots of "needs improvement" and "I prefered how it worked in V2" comments on their YouTube videos. I'll skip this upgrade.

Why, what's wrong with their authorization and installation? I find it quite easy. However, I'm starting to feel less excited about their deals as I realize that I hardly use the ones that I already have.

You could have gotten it for that price from November 21st to January 16th at Plugin Boutique, ADSR Sounds, Audio Deluxe and Thomann. https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/vocalsynth-2-by-izotope/ I recommend using that website's price alert when there's something that you really want to have.

Oh. Then maybe there's no upgrade price for that.

add the full product to your cart, you should see your upgrade price then.

The new issue of Beat Magazine, #218, gives you a free Bitwig 8-Track license. Plus a 5.9GB vocal soundbank. And of course, there's a new Zampler expansion again, called Hyper Vox. Bitwig 8-Track is free quite often. Owning the 8-Track version gives you an upgrade price for the higher versions: You get Bitwig Essentials for 79$/€ instead of 99$/€, Bitwig Studio Producer for 169$/€ instead of 199$/€ and Bitwig Studio for 359$/€ instead of 399$/€

I just installed the demo. What is strange is that the installer says I have 29 trial days remaining, but inside my DAW the plugin tells me that I only have 7 days left However, I gave it a try and figured out that to play it like a real guitar you have to use instrument, trigger mode off, hold one of the white notes between C3 and F5 to pick a chord and then simultaneously press the white notes from C2 to A2 to play individual notes, or H2 to strum the whole chord. It's how a guitarist would play the guitar. The notes from C3 to F5 represent the left hand that frets the strings and the notes from C2 to H2 represent the right hand that holds the pick. tip: click on the little keyboard icon with a question mark on the right to see the help menu for the key layout:

Not even if you switch from chord mode to note mode? I would have expected that that's exactly what note mode is there for.

Multicore mode reduced my CPU peak from 28% to 18% when playing a chord with 6 notes using the rainforest preset. When I just hit one key activating multicore goes down from 18% to 11%.

As has been mentioned before, a lot of the free soundbanks on the website are for their hardware synths. These don't show up in Analog Lab because they can't be used with Analog Lab.

Are you sure it's MicroFreak, not MiniFreak you mean?

They're hardware synths. Not part of Analog Lab, that's why they don't show up in Analog Lab.

Feels like yesterday that they launched Pigments 4

Like Husky, I don't see any new free soundbanks for Analog Lab or Pigments either. Yes, there are a lot of free soundbanks, but they didn't come all suddenly. They have accumulated over the years. I don't know about Analog Lab Play, but the soundstore inside Analog Lab has been there for ages too, with the filter to show only free soundbanks. So, I really don't understand why Arturia would send a newsletter like this was anything new. I didn't get that newsletter myself. As Husky mentioned, a lot of the free soundbanks that you see on https://www.arturia.com/sounds are for Polybrute or Microfreak.

Ujam have announced that Silk 2 is around the corner and the upgrade price from Silk 1 will be $19. Until 23rd of January you can get Silk 1 for also $19.

Was also free with Loopcloud subscription last July. Still haven't used it yet ?

Oh no, we have neither Larry, nor Satya?! ?

Only Vintage Lab is new. The other three have been around for a month or so. See:

Wusik. By the name he's the Wario of Musik.

New Nation staying true to their unprofessional image. The confirmation page tells you to register at https://newnationllc.com. But that domain doesn't work. Should probably have been https://nnaud.io. Then when you go to https://nnaud.io/plugins/evanescent-baby-grand-piano/ to add the plugin to your cart, it takes AGES to load. How do they even manage to survive in the business?

Is it about the subjective value of plugins?

I believe it's the same as the one you can get for free from this page: https://yurtrock.com/pages/yurt-rock-demo

And I have the impression that the maxgrade from 3.5 to 4 has been available for $199 for months.

$199 with code TS4MIK2

Apparently they're working on a preset browser. I got this email in April this year when I asked if there's a chance of having an improved preset browser in the future: It's also a very requested feature on their KVR Forum, so I trust they'll give it a high priority. I love how the design/user interface doesn't feel outdated at all. Timeless synth. Highly recommended preset bundle for Sylenth1: Sylenth1 Bundle by Cartel Loops, currently only $9.95 at Producer Spot. It contains 17 soundbanks with a total of 826 presets. I've got it and I like quite a lot of the presets.
