I don't have that unit, but there is some possible good news in the upcoming release of Cakewalk 2022.06, currently available as an Early Access download. This new feature worked very well for me with a different brand of controller that is Cubase compatible, but never worked very well with Cakewalk before. With the controller set to Cubase DAW Mode, and with Cubase Mode selected in the revised Cakewalk Control Surface definition it's 99% compatible for me now. Mackie control surface improvements The Mackie Control surface includes several new enhancements. New compatibility modes In addition to the recommended Cakewalk/SONAR mode, the Mackie Control surface now supports two extra emulation modes that can be used if your control surface does not provide a dedicated Cakewalk/SONAR mode: Mackie Control Universal (Universal Mode). Emulates Mackie’s default button layout. Mackie Control Universal (Cubase Mode). Emulates Mackie’s Cubase/Nuendo button layout. The NEKTAR is Mackie Control Universal (MCU) compatible, and NEKTAR DAW integration supports Cubase. So this might work! Give it a try! There are a few bugs in the Early Access that have already been reported, and fixes are being pushed into the final release, so you may want to wait until then.

I have been a synth-head since the mid-80's, and I have always loved layering sounds from several instruments to create new textures. In recent years as computers and soft synths have grown in power and capability, I've found that it's even easier to layer sounds while working all in-the-box now. With that said, I have been exploring the creative side of soft samplers alongside my collection of virtual analog, virtual digital, and virtual modular synths. It's pretty much a given that you can make some very interesting soundscapes and pads with classic synths and some effects. But what I see now is that modern samplers allow you to synthesize with organic waveforms (real world samples). which expands the creative possibilities for entirely never heard before sounds by shaping, blending, and/or morphing them together. I think that some of these sample based instruments from SoundPaint, Mntra, iZotope Iris, and even Unify have the potential to take sound design to the next level. And you can still layer them with traditional synths if desired. Worth exploring, and just my two cents...

I would say that Hans actually shattered the traditional boundaries of orchestration with this Dune score...

Thanks! That was a very educational video! Hans is a genius! I imagine that he would have used Zebra 2/Dark Zebra if he could have gotten these sounds out of a soft synth... Best quote: "Wherever you have a goat and you have a piece of wood, all I want to say is the goat better watch out!" LOL! ?

I would start looking for answers here, and then contact NI support... https://community.native-instruments.com/categories/komplete

Does Komplete 14 have a release date yet? There is probably a grace period, but I have no idea how long it is...

Regarding the link from the Groove3 Perks page: "Enjoy 25% all Eventide plug-ins when shopping online at www.eventide.com. *Can not be applied to sale price plug-ins." Except nearly everything is on sale...

It's a no-brainer if you are into Voltage Modular!

Yep, looks like they killed the code today! ?

If you are on the fence regarding Physion, there is a cool Groove3 "Eventide Physion Explained" series by Eli Krantzberg (52 minutes) that is very enlightening! https://www.groove3.com/tutorials/Eventide-Physion-Explained *free for registered Groove3 users

Glad that you found your way in...

But you could do 9 separate transactions for $25 off on each!

I just used my Groove3 perk for another Eventide deal and it worked again. $25 off...

First, you need to log in to your Groove3 account. Then go to your "Groove Perks". Find the one for Eventide and "Claim perk" if you are eligible (Requirements: Previous Paid Order at Groove3). Once the Groove Perk status is "claimed" you simply hit the blue "Redeem Here" button, and you will be taken to the Eventide site. Add the plugin of choice and the discount is applied in the cart when you hit "Checkout".

The Z3TA+2 VST2 is a 64-bit plugin, as is the VST3 version. The display scaling settings are found (in Windows 10) in the Windows settings applet, in the Display section: "Scale and layout" [100% (recommended)].

Sounds interesting. But at 73.29 GB whoah!!! ?

This is really strange, because the Z3TA+2 UI should be rather tiny at that 3200x1800 resolution. It is a legacy plugin that wasn't really designed for today's high resolution screens. So it should shrink as the resolution gets higher. Are you sure that you don't have scaling enabled? That's the only thing I can think of that may be a factor here... For me running at 1080P, the Z3TA+2 UI only takes up a minor portion of the screen. See example:

Hey thanks for reminding me about the Groove3 perk! Eventide gave me $25 off for that! Got a $29 plugin for $4. Note: I didn't use the code "Groove3". I logged into my Groove3 account, redeemed my Eventide perk, and hit the "Redeem here" link. That took me to a cart in the Eventide site with the discounted price...

I picked up Blackhole a couple of years ago. It's my favorite reverb for sound design. Also grabbed Shimmerverb, which is very nice as well, but a bit more subtle than Blackhole. Adds a nice ambiance to just about any instrument. These reverbs are best if you dial the wet mix back a little bit to taste... just saying...

I'll pass on this one... but here it is if you want to check it out! ? YOU are the shark. Eat! Explore! Evolve! https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/maneater

That only allows the Cakewalk plugin window itself to be resized, not the actual plugin UI. If you do it that way to shrink the plugin window, the plugin UI will appear cropped and you will need to slide it around to see different parts of it in the window, but not all of it at the same time. Big difference from a re-sizeable plugin!

Here are some BBCSO templates for other DAWs... https://www.spitfireaudiothepage.com/posts/discover-templates https://www.spitfireaudiothepage.com/posts/core-templates https://www.spitfireaudiothepage.com/posts/pro-templates

Z3TA+ 2 does not really have a very big UI on a current HD monitor. Are you using a laptop screen? What resolution and/or scaling are you using? The only size option that I am aware with this plugin is the show/hide preview strip at the bottom (the virtual keys).
