I emailed them since I had just purchased yesterday. They said they unfortunately couldn't offer any discount for purchases prior to the code was active, but did offer to add an "additional" free bonus of my choice to my account. Nice folks at Best! ? I chose a Halls of Fame reverb. Can't have too many reverbs now, can we? ? Already have the Harmonica, Ozone Elements, and plenty of drums, LOL!

Yup, saw that here as well...

Just set your Cakewalk project tempo! Right here at 7:39 >

Ableton Lite is a very capable DAW. Just seems that many of the really cool Live demos or tutorials utilize some feature from Suite. I have the Standard Edition and still feel limited by that at times... but really have no interest in paying for Suite. But I might add one or two instruments a la carte someday. I got Live 5 full version in a keyboard bundle like 10 years ago, and I've kept up with the cheap upgrades to Standard.

Cakewalk comes with SI Drum Kit. Just insert it as a virtual instrument track, and play along with one of the included patterns. You can adjust the tempo of the project any way you like, and the drum kit will stay in sync with the project. You can audition the patterns from within the Drum Kit UI. Then you can drag and drop any of the patterns you like into the track as a MIDI clip, that you can edit and arrange them as you need to accompany your music. There are also multiple pre-defined drum kits that you can choose from in the program browser.

And Cherry also has the same deal on the ARP 2600. Trying that demo now...

I did some more digging on these 2 presets and it appears that it's only happening with LFO 1 on layer 2. KV331 will probably figure this out and fix quickly. Many of the presets don't even use Layer 2, so maybe that influenced the oversight. If you encounter this issue, you can isolate the problem layer by enabling/disabling each layer one at a time. LFO 1 is apparently modulating the pitch here on these presets. You can flatten the curve in Mod Matrix to zero the LFO 1, or select a new target, and the weird sound stops as soon as the pitch modulation quits. There seems to be a bug in the preset Layer 2 routing here, that was missed in Beta testing.

Is that the full version, or is Insight 1 required?

Yikes! Seems like I pulled the trigger a day too soon! Larry where did you find that code at?

I think that integration requires the use of the Max for Live plugin, which as far as I know requires Live Suite. https://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/create-song-ideas-instantly-in-liquid-music-for-ableton-live-plugin-628550

I think that Scaler 2 (that I have) is likely more capable than LM, as are many tools that have come around recently, as it has been a few years since Liquid Music was released. For example consider the pattern generators in Waveform, and the chord tracks & chord assistants in various DAWs such as Cubase and Studio One.

My opinion is that anytime you can confirm a bug with another user, it's time to submit a support request to the developer.

My stand is that unless you want to geek out on a detailed emulation of the original synth with all the bells and whistles, you might be better off with Analog Lab. Get all the sounds of V Collection, but for much less!

Done! More wouldn't hurt, though...

Those 2 do sound strange! For PAD Man at the corner, LFO1 in the Mod matrix on Layer 2 is clearly bonkers. For LED Birdland, it appears that the same thing is occurring... On the flip side, I have listened to dozens and dozens of other patches that sound just fine! Maybe a support ticket is justified...

Yes, I understand that Bulent, the KV331 dev, has been busy merging the architecture of SM One back into SM 2 for v2.9.9. In preparation for SM 3... SM One was a test of new technology that eventually became a successful iOS app that took him away for a while. His main fault was pre-announcing, and then postponing SM 3 for several years. But he says he is back on track now, and I am inclined to accept that. Hopefully he will stick to his earlier announcement that SM3 will be compatible with presets from both libraries. That would be awesome! Not to mention more layers, a wavetable editor, and granular synthesis. ?

I agree that that those synths are great as is! My first virtual instruments actually... And to better acquaint myself with them, I acquired the book "Cakewalk Synthesizers, from presets to power user" by Simon Cann. He covers those synths, as well as the others by Cakewalk. First edition published in 2007. I believe it's out of print now, but I did snag the 2nd edition, published 2010, with an update for Z3TA+2. Simon has made a free e-book available here on synth programming. It covers z3ta+ and a few others, including Surge (now an open source freeware synth): https://noisesculpture.com/how-to-make-a-noise-a-comprehensive-guide-to-synthesizer-programming/ But I doubt that there will be any new commercial libraries created for them however, as the VI market today is flooded with free and cheap synths.

Like with u-he's mythical Zebra 3, it a race to the bottom as far being first to be last, LOL! But I can imagine that SM3 will be a beast when it is released!

I have the everything bundle. Which presets are you speaking of?

I went ahead and grabbed that upgrade deal for S1 5 Pro. With my bank offering me 5% cash back for using my Visa card on PayPal purchases thru year end, that's another $5.00 discount. So that brings the price down to $94 for the upgrade. Plus I got $2.97 in BestCoin for the purchase. So that is really like $91.03 bottom line, assuming I make a future purchase at Best. And the Chris Hein harmonica for free (a $69 value)! Not quite $85, but I can live with that! ?

A big improvement that I see is that the matrix, filters, envelopes are all animated now. It's cool to see an envelope trigger, sustain and release. So when you hold a note now, you can visually see what is being modulated, based on source > target.
