Nope. Liquid Music by WaveDNA and Liquid Notes were from two different companies. Liquid Notes was from Re-Compose.

Oops, it appears that Liquid Rhythm 1.4.5 (what I have) has been ended as a separate plug-in, and no longer maintained. I got a crash, and now it won't run at all. Guess now my options are to either get Liquid Music 1.7.0, or go home. Home is where the heart is!

I forgot that I had Liquid Rhythm. Time to re-visit for free!

No problems with IK plug-ins here. And if it is also crashing Cubase for you, it's not something specific to Cakewalk. So in other words, something else is likely wrong with the IK setup/installation at your end. This is an issue that you need to get an IK support ticket opened for.

No, not the radioactive piano team. The OP here was for the Pripyat sound library for the MNDALA player, by Mntra Instruments. The radioactive Pripyat Pianos was the Kontakt library of actual radioactive pianos from Pripyat in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone by Strix Instruments. From the Mntra Instruments description:

I bought Vital Pro, and wish Matt Tytel all the best. It seems that "or Vital" seems to be the "last word" comment on forums these days. That said, I hope that Matt can leverage this kind of support for long term success!

Just an update here... I bought the Atma instrument pack from Plugin Boutique for $10 (Feb deal), which includes their MNDALA player. A sampling engine by Mntra, a small team from Toronto. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/8115-Atma So far, so good. No crashes! The Frcture and Rasa instrument packs are also free at the moment. So 3 sound packs for $10. https://www.mntra.io/instruments "All of our Sound Sculpture instruments are loaded with our free MNDALA Engine, allowing you to quickly switch between many different sonic landscapes. Simply download it for free and load in any Sound Sculpture Instrument." So you can download the free instruments + the free MNDALA Player to check it out first. No risk!

I have both Vangelis Tribute banks, and the Synthwave 2085 bank. Just added the 2 Richard Devine Signature banks, for the DX7 and Buchla. Some good stuff there! I marked 8 of 32 new DX7 presets as favorites, and 13 of 36 new presets as favorites for the Buchla. Not too bad for $2.49 each!

Ouch! My ears! ?

Congrats! That was fun, right? I hope I learned a bit more about patching a modular synth from scratch. I usually tend to open up one of the many VM presets and experiment with them, but it would be useful to know how to intuitively build a modular sound from <blank>. ? I'm looking forward to checking out some of the other 27 Music Radar synth patches that make use Dune CM, Bazille CM, & Thorn CM. ?

Yep, there is. Buy Arturia Analog Lab and the JMJ Tribute Bank.

The lead synth sound for this song, using Dune CM! https://www.musicradar.com/how-to/the-40-greatest-synth-sounds-of-all-time-no-19-europe-the-final-countdown

Agreed. As it is, if I get motivated, I will try to copy over the preset FX parameters from the AL 4 version into the AL5 presets manually, and then save them in AL V so that I will not have to open AL 4 unnecessarily. I'm lucky to still have AL 4 installed, and Doug is also lucky they gave him a copy. But both versions are covered by the same license serial, so that makes sense to me.

I humbly disagree from my perspective, and I fully understand what you are saying. But that's OK. We all have our personal preferences, and I don't expect anyone else to have mine. YMMV. I choose to spend my available budget on things I NEED. Since I don't use retro or lo-fi very often, I don't really have much use for instant inspiration for this technique. I waited my whole life to go from LP's and cassettes to digital hi-fi, so I ain't gonna go back now (very often).

Maybe preset compatibility with legacy presets, as shown in the pic above? I got the same message with some presets in the Vangelis bank, but not all. It's real and the affected presets do not sound right in AL V. For example, when I open Blade Runner Blues or Blade Runner Strings in AL 4, they sound much better!

The instructions are pretty clear. Took me about 15 minutes to patch that up. Saved as a User preset for future use. If you don't already have Voltage installed, plan on another 15 mins. YMMV! Good luck! For extra credit, try patching it without looking at the pics in the article, LOL!

Worked for me!

Step by step tutorial, using a free synth! It's a Music Radar article from last year. Posting for anyone interested that may have missed this. https://www.musicradar.com/news/jean-michel-jarre-best-synth-sound https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/voltage-modular-nucleus

No, but get you some Luftrum Bioscape, and YOU can be like Pedro! And that is a beautiful piece, from the list of Bioscape demo tracks at the Luftrum site. https://www.luftrum.com/

Well, I've compared RC-20 with several retro manglers that I already have, Arturia TAPE MELLO-FI, iZotope Trash 2, and Waves Abbey Road Vinyl. Conclusion for me is that Trash 2 has the most mangling options and presets available within categories [Distort, Drive, Faulty, Fuzz, Heavy, Retro, Saturate] along with filtering and effects. How about "Cassette", "Earbuds", "Home Recording", "Vintage Soundtrack", etc.? TAPE MELLO-FI has a cool "crappy radio" preset, as well as a few others along with a basic interface, and Abbey Road vinyl has the most realistic musical retro effects. I'm going to pass on RC-20. Although it probably has the most relevant features in a single interface. Probably a no-brainer for $19, if you don't already have similar tools.

My thoughts exactly! Nori is amazing, and I have all of his banks for SynthMaster 2. Need to get me some more of the Arturia banks by Nori! In addition to Richard's Devine's work with Arturia for the Matrix-12 V, I also have several brands of synths with his presets included, including AIR Loom II, AAS Chromaphone packs [Epicycles, Microsound Textures], Tracktion Biotek 2, and Waves Flow Motion. I probably need to pick up Richard Devine's Signature banks for the Arturia DX-7 and Buchla Easel.

I woke up "tomorrow", and still scratching my head... ?

That would be GIGO...
