Have you tried the demo of IK AmpliTube 5 yet?

When using SSD for storage, loading everything in RAM is not that important, except for loading large samples for active virtual instruments, and any data that is currently being processed by the CPU. Let Windows do it's thing, as it's the OS's job to perform memory management, and you are good to go! For extra SSD speed, look into M.2 NVMe if your PC supports that. https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-2-tb-mz-v7s2t0b-am/ 3,500MB/s Seq.

I think the 2 GB is related to the use of convolution. Don't really have much desire to use plugins that need that much space, although I made an exception for the Waves IR Convolution Reverb. Also I did notice quite a bit of lag whenever I changed a setting. I have a few other channel strip emulations that do just fine, so I gave up on this one.

That's what you see when you try to edit one of the freebie v2 presets from CS. You will probably need to use the "Reinstall Library" option for the v2 synths using IK Product Manager (in the "... more options" menu) to get all of the new presets and wave sets. That's what I had to do!

New oscillator editing in Syn2:

Locating oscillators in Syn1:

Once you have a Syn2 preset open in the "Edit" window, just click on any oscillator name. That will open the wave selection pane on the right and you can add any wave in the list. To add an oscillator, just click on any empty oscillator slot, and then choose one from the wave selection list. Easy!

I got that for free last year from the Focusrite Plug-in Collective. It's uninstalled now because I found it too cumbersome/fiddly to dial in the settings in the GUI... it looks cool though!

If Larry posts a deal that appears "too good to be true", it probably is. You should jump on those immediately if it's something on your wish list! Sometimes distributors like JRR make mistakes when posting a sale and then correct them as soon as they notice them. But if you get in before the "fix" you are good to go.

The new synths are 100% Syn2, and include wave sets and editing ability. The 22 updated synths add Syn2 presets in addition to the original Syn1 presets. So they are now a hybrid of v1 & v2. All Syn2 presets include wave sets and editing ability. I can hear a big improvement in the sound quality when using the Syn2 presets!

No need to buy it! I don't think there is any difference in the Syntronik 2 program vs. the Syntronik 2 CS, as you are getting all of the Syn2 instruments through the Group Buy! I have all of the features in the CS version!

I have the same, and I am seeing all of the wave sets in the Syn2 instruments.

Not sure how this feature exactly works in the Focusrite Console, but probably worth checking out. It does random channel assignments as claimed. (From the manual) Console Channel Numbers L&R (TMT Section) Switches between 72 different Console Channels. In a Stereo instance, two adjacent Channel numbers will be displayed. Each channel has its own, different character! This is achieved by including about 150 resistor and capacitor tolerances in the modeling which correspond to the real-world component tolerance ranges, as specified by the component manufacturers and / or the hardware designers. TMT is Patent-Pending, a true Brainworx invention. Random One Only the plugin instance you click on will switch to any unused channel number in that session randomly. Random All If you have many channels of bx_console Focusrite SC running in your mix session, you can make sure to be using different channel numbers for every single instance with a single mouse click now! In most hosts you can add a copy of the same plugin to every channel with a keyboard shortcut (for example click ALT on a Mac to put a bx_console plugin on every channel of your Pro Tools session automatically). Imagine opening 48 channels with one click and then randomizing all the channel numbers with a second mouse click. Done. Tip: One very cool way of using the RANDOM ALL feature is to finalize a mix and bounce it, then save the whole mix session. Now you can play back the song and click RANDOM ALL a few times on any instance of bx_console Focusrite SC, and you will notice that the “timbre” or tone of your mix will change ever so slightly, depending on the use or abuse of the individual EQs and Dynamics, of course. The more processing you apply, the more obvious the differences become. Now by clicking through different randomized channel combinations you may actually find one that sounds a bit darker or brighter, a bit punchier or smoother than your original mix. Why not save 1 or 2 alternative mix sessions and bounce them, so your client can choose between 2 or 3 different “flavors” of the otherwise identical mix?

It's a leak.

I really didn't pay much attention to the Arturia Prophet, as I already had the u-he Repro... Asleep at the wheel, I suppose.

Some History We’re proud to welcome Focusrite’s famous console to our platform. The birth of Focusrite began in 1985 when Sir George Martin, otherwise known as the fifth Beatle, approached Rupert Neve to inquire about custom modules for AIR Montserrat. His studio regularly saw everyone from Paul McCartney, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and countless others. George discussed with Rupert a design for a top of the line mic pre and an EQ with low noise and an extra wide bandwidth with the main goal of it being as musical as possible. What came out of this vision was the ISA-110, featuring transformer-coupled mic pre amp with a four band EQ and highpass and lowpass filters. Word travelled fast and these standalone units could sound be found in studios across the planet. With the massive success achieved by the ISA-110 and the companion ISA-130 compressor/limiter/de-esser module, a ton of orders quickly emerged. In the late 80’s Focusrite spared no expense when working on their ambitious studio desk but as costs rapidly reached astronomical levels, the rights to the console were acquired by Phil Dudderidge of Soundcraft Electronics and the Focusrite Studio Console was finally completed by his team. From the work on ISA-110 and ISA-130, Phil’s engineers crafted equally successful designs, the ISA-215, 220 and 430. Since then, the Focusrite Studio Console has gained an enviable reputation for dynamic punch and clinical equalisation and firmly established itself as the mixing desk of choice in studios all over the world. The list of records made on this desk includes everyone one from Green Day, No Doubt and tons of others.

My faves so far outta that bundle are the Oberhausen, Black Box, and Masterdesk. Haven't played with the console yet, but that Focusrite looks like a doozy!

I'll have to check that out. Didn't ever notice any dual layer Prophet 5/VS presets before...

No, I got the full version v1.6.0 free with the Soundwide Welcome Bundle. Never had the lite version...
