  1. I just thought I would add this example of multiple chord, time signature, and tempo changes all within a few bars. Sent a copy of Claire De Lune from Notion's classical score library, and extracted the chords to the chord track. The score view is presented by the new internal score feature in Studio One 5 Pro. You can freely send score and note info between Notion 6.8 and Studio One Pro 5 now. No need to use Rewire unless you want to sync transports.
  2. Yes, Fleer is correct! ? Erik Norlander is his name (he is also the managing director of the sound production company Sonic Reality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Norlander Erik Norlander bio: https://eriknorlander.com/bio Moog Foundation photo essay of Erik: https://moogfoundation.org/photo-essay-erik-norlander-and-the-galactic-collective-rock-a-tribute-to-dr-bob/ Managing Director of Sonic Reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Reality Creative Tech Nerds interview with Erik: https://creativetechnerds.jimdofree.com/ik-multimedia-uno-synth/ Flashback...

  3. Maybe, but it will likely take years to design and manufacture bug-free hardware based on the new spec. MMA just finalized and adopted the 2.0 standard this year. Most of the gear is just prototype at this stage, like proof-of-concept that MIDI 2.0 messages can be sent and received. With the exception of: https://www.musicradar.com/news/namm-2020-rolands-a-88mkii-midi-keyboard-is-its-first-midi-20-ready-product https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21028136/roland-a-88mkii-keyboard-support-midi-2-0-ces-namm-2020 Well the 88mkii appears to be ready!
  4. I will also add that if you have a license for the full Analog Lab 4, those presets should also have been added to AL V with the latest update. I seem to have all of the factory presets from Analog Lab 4 (7,455) available in AL V now, plus the new AL V presets.
  5. Yes, that's what I mean. Like would you put off buying a new car now (if you needed one) because a better model is coming out next year? MIDI 2.0 devices won't replace MIDI 1.0, it just adds the capability for new features. It may be some time before there is anything useful on the market, so it could be a long wait. And MIDI 1.0 has a proven track record of several decades of use. Is there something particular in the 2.0 spec that you would rather wait for? https://www.musicradar.com/news/what-is-midi-20-and-what-does-it-mean-for-musicians-and-producers
  6. I have a fix for that. Apparently that is all you get now with AL V if you are using the controller setting for "Generic MIDI controller". AL will auto-configure for certain Arturia controllers, but will default to "generic" if not. AL 4 used to show all of the controls regardless, so it looks like they made AL V "smarter", LOL. One step back actually, ha! Just open the AL V settings gear icon in the top right, and select the MIDI tab; click on the pull-down menu for MIDI controller and you will see a list of controllers that you can select from. Keylab 49 or 61 work fine for me, and I see all the controls again, even though I am actually using a generic controller.
  7. I was referring to my archived installer file from 2016. No iLok installer was included in the original PIB file. Had to obtain it separately from the iLok website. I was mentioning this only to provide some insight to the fact it hasn't always been like this. Something has evidently been changed. Like I said previously, I've no idea what Sonivox did to "improve" the current installer, but it doesn't sound good. One of the reasons I archive my installer files on an external USB.
  8. Why would it be? MIDI 2.0 devices will be backwards compatible...
  9. Here is the integration info on Studio One and the P1... https://nektartech.com/studio-one-panorama-p1-p4-p6-daw-integration/
  10. Plus, the color scheme looks rather IKM friendly! ?
  11. Great minds think alike, LOL! That's exactly what I did. Redeemed 5 of them, keeping 1 on standby... ?
  12. Awesome! How do you like it, and what software do you use it with?
  13. I like the idea, but to be useful for my big hands, a touch screen display would need to be huge! And that would probably require too much space for me ... ?
  14. No motorized faders, but this looks interesting! https://nektartech.com/panorama-p1/
  15. And don't forget to check if you have any tokens accumulated at Plugin Boutique! They covert to Virtual Cash at £1.25 each! I just found 6 of them in my account! ?
  16. I don't know what Sonivox may have done to the recent installers, but the version of Vocalizer installer that I downloaded from Plugin Boutique in 2016 has no iLok installer inside. The install instructions at the time were very clear the you first need to register an iLok account, install the iLok license manager on your computer, and then authorize your product before installing it. I have the Sonivox Premier Collection and all installers were from 2016-2017. They never displayed any of the troubling iLok behavior in the recent reports. The Air Music products were also using the same method, and my most recent installer from them was for Loom II. That file was created over 3 years ago, and no trouble with it either. All of my Air installers were created in 2016-2017. I mention both Air Music and Sonivox here because they are run by the same company, inMusic Brands. Now I'm glad that I have them archived.
  17. For an example, Studio One has several independent global tracks in their track view design. The arranger track, chords track, signature track, and the tempo track. . The time signature changes and the key signature changes do occur on a common track, but that doesn't appear to conflict. Those functions appear to be logically separate.
  18. Here is the full YouTube playlist for Scaler from Plugin Boutique, which provides a good feature overview. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFWyKYiiiIjAyooer13GbqA But I think I will still pick up the Producer's Guide because it goes over several workflow scenarios which I think would be useful, plus gets into some practical hands on use. Things such as chords and accompaniment, basslines, to creating a full arrangement.
  19. Great tip on the video course! I got Scaler 2 recently, and I believe I will need a proper orientation. The current v2.2 has got so many features, it's hard to tell where to start! ?
  20. Which "one"??? LOL!!! Best bang, probably the Syntronik crossgrade for $79.99 that got me into the IK Group Buy at the $199 level! Ended up with MODO Bass, MODO Drums, and the Hammond B-3! 2nd best bang was probably the IK Total Studio 2 MAX Maxgrade for $139. Maxed out my T-RackS 5 and Amplitube 4 collection! Most fun? Not sure where to start! But I'll be staying busy for the foreseeable future! ? Added (all at sale prices, 20-50% off) EZKeys, EZDrummer, Chromaphone 3, Ultra-Analog VA-3, Pigments 2, Scaler 2, Analog Lab, IK Mixbox, IK Sunset Studio Reverb, Eventide Shimmerverb, Waves IR1 reverb, upgraded to Waves Abbey Road Studio collection, upgraded to Band in a box 2021 Ultrapak, upgraded to Studio One 5 Pro... Favorite free? Probably Arturia Analog Lab 5 (for AL4 users) and IK Amplitube 5 CS (with my AT4 Max collection). Favorite hardware? My new Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen. And a full hardware refresh for my PC! 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9600k, running at 4.6GHz. Thanks, 2020! ? It's really amazing how much money you can save when the bars and restaurants in your area are in lockdown for over 9 months! New Years Resolution: Not buying anything else until I learn to use everything I already have! ?
  21. Wait, what? Surge was the new kid on the block back in the day, but... Not the same guy! ? The guy that created Serum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Duda The guy that created Surge: https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/about/
  22. See my post earlier in this thread for a link to the free e-book "How to Make a Noise - a comprehensive guide to synthesizer programming" that covers many aspects of programming synth sounds. The author uses the original version of Surge from Vember Audio, along with 5 other synths, including Cakewalk z3ta+ classic (many thoughts here should also apply to Z3TA+2). Gives examples and comparisons of synth features, covering topics such as envelopes, filtering, sound sources, wave shaping, LFOs, and modulations. Hard to believe that Surge was a $150 synth back in the day (2005 - 2007)! Now free! Even z3ta+ classic was $99.
  23. Working for me: Windows version 2004 OS build 19041.630 Resolution 1920 x 1200 Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen ASIO 48k buffer 256
  24. Got it in the last hour! Installed and authorized. Very nice!
  25. I wasn't even aware that there was a "Lite" version. I've got the full Lab. What's included in that as far as sounds? If it includes their acoustic and electric pianos, they aren't bad! And the B-3 is decent. ? Everyone knows that Arturia covers synths very well, but I was a bit surprised at the quality of those keys...
