Hmm... ran my Native Access (v1.14.1) and it didn't mention there's an update...?

Native Access v1.x does not update to v2.x. So far you have to go find the download if you want the upgrade.

I would use a heatsink if it's a particularly hot drive.

One of the two available M.2 slots on my ASUS board comes factory equipped with a heatsink. Check the other M.2 slot if so equipped. There is also a header for an M.2 fan here, whatever the heck that is?

Any new presets being added within Mixbox if one springs for the Sunset Sound expansion?

Sunset Sound Reverb Collection is a set of 5 new modules for MixBox derived from the different reverbs offered in T-RackS Sunset Sound. You get a Chamber, Live Room, ISO Booth, Plates 1 & 2 and Spring Reverb, plus over 40 new rack presets.

How does yours say "3 hours Ago" and mine says "1 Hour Ago", and yet you acknowledge
in my post that I beat you too it?

I'm corn-fused.

I dunno, except that I posted my Prophecy update  thread 2 hours before you did, and I then claimed in your thread that I beat you.

IIRC, I have 3 MixBoxes: one as a separate purchase, one that came with TS MAX 2, and a third that came with TS MAX 3.5.  I also have several licenses for T-RackS, and at least one for SSSR.

Evidently, I don't qualify because I don't have TR-500-SSSR-DD .  I assume that's SSSR purchased individually at full price as a single product.

As I have said before, I do not understand IK Multimedia's modus operandi.

Yeah--I bought it as a single product before I knew a whole lot about how IK does business.

To me it does seem silly that if someone purchased SSSR as a single, they qualify, but not someone who purchased MixBox.    Situation Normal . . . ?

Well, according to the Custom Shop, I have SSSR as a T-RackS Reverb.  As a Collection, I also have the T-RackS 5 Max Upgrade.  Maybe if I Restore My Purchases . . . . ? 

Nope.  Its $50.00 no matter what.

I would contact customer support for help if you actually bought the T-RackS reverb as a single product. You can also look and see if your reverb license in your IK account is transferable, which should be evidence that you had bought it.

I did. But it's registered in My Products and everything.  Maybe they ding you if it's an NFR license, i.e. from the GB as you said?

Is your license transferable, i.e., is there a transfer button for it in your account? If not, then it's an NFR freebie.

As far as I can tell, there doesn't look to be a way to SEE if you've got "TR-500-SSSR-DD".  My Products page simply hasa a serial number and says I own it...

Apparently, I bought the T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb in December 2020, as I have a transferable license.

And that apparently got me the eligibility for the $9.99 MixBox SSSR Collection.

Edit: According to my records, I originally bought T-RackS SSSR from Best Service for $76 using a $20 Promo Code. Great deal!!!

A further evolution in expression. KORG Collection - Prophecy version 1.5 is now available with new sound programs.

Quote

In version 1.5, the quirks of the hardware Prophecy can now be expressed even more precisely thanks to deeper creative input from the brilliant minds in the original Prophecy development team.

Version 1.5 also adds 180 new programs. This unique sound collection brings out the individuality of the Prophecy, ranging from fresh, software-only sounds to those that pay homage to the original Prophecy and pushes monophonic sound design to all new levels. Please enjoy the new programs created with the participation of the original Prophecy sound designers.

I'm betting this update won't help that MixBox is a resource hog....adding some higher end resource hungry Reverbs to it.

I'm betting that all depends on your CPU. ?

Came back to report that I cannot get the Sunset Sounds collection to show as activated within MixBox.

Even though the collection shows as registered in my account. I have even tried re-authorizing it, and re-installing MixBox. No luck yet!!! ?

bx_masterdesk v1.6.2.0 (not True Peak) vst2/vst3 not crashing Cakewalk 2022.06 here. And I even tweaked every knob and button in the GUI.

Sorry if that's not much help.

Charging us for Sunsey in MixBox while we already have it in T-RackS? Not cricket. 

Look at your available upgrades/crossgrades in your IK account. I have T-RackS SSR.

In the cart for $9.99, total out the door price with 3 JamPoints is $6.99, + $0.51 sales tax = $7.50.

This is scary--"could improve text readability!!"  Syntronik is is much more readable (text and images) than Syntronik 2 on my PC. Evidently the folks at IK have a  way of optimizing UIs so that they look better for some users and look worse for others. Oh, well.  As the saying goes, "You can't fight City Hall."

Unfortunately, not everyone's monitors use the same resolution and scaling. But you would think IK could use some intelligent way to detect the hardware in use and adapt their UI for the best presentation...

Updated to v1.5.0 for Windows:

• Implemented a UI optimization that could improve text readability
• General reliability improvements.

Running OK here so far.

And the new modules are not in your face, LOL! The missing modules are gracefully grayed out in the reverb module selector dropdown menu.

Version 1.5.0

• [PC/Mac] You will get 180 new sounds. Open your browser and access the V1.5 bank.
• [PC/Mac] Output Gain parameter is added in the Global settings. The default value is 3 dB.
• [PC/Mac] The synthesizer engine, including the physical modeling engine, has been further refined and adjusted to more closely resemble the original hardware.

Run KORG Software Pass to update.

There are 180 presets in the new v1.5 bank!!!

they may have the best installer, but the 2 bx_updates I've tried (and 1 reported elsewhere) are crashing CW to the desktop if you click on the UI. 

Details?

Before Spitfire came up with their Labs engine,  many of their current Labs instruments had been previously released as Kontakt instruments.

And I kinda wished they would still be Kontakt instruments because, as many have mentioned, the Labs engine seems to have problems with keeping the instruments installed.

Check out Pianobook, a free community driven collection started by Christian Henson of Spitfire. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/

Free: 1025 sample packs by 480 samplists. Some have made their way into LABS, but you can check out the Pianobook sample collection  here.

By sampler format:

• Kontakt
• EXS24
• Decent Sampler
• SFZ

Overview by Cameron "Venus Theory":

I'd say the MixBox is pretty cool & versatile without the Sunset Sound modules.

I have the T-RackS version of Sunset Sound if I need that stuff!

I used to use that one, but found that Treesize is much faster, and can access system and hidden files better.

VST3 just multi on W10. I don't think W11 changes anything, but I'll test it a bit.

I think a support ticket would be 5-10 years too late. ?

I would stick with VST2 for now if that works better.

Or else load up a multi with MP2 instruments in SampleTank4, as I doubt that IKM plans any more updates for MP2.
