For me the soundbanks with stalled GUI are Acousticsamples GD-6 and Strategy. No idea how old are they.

This...?

160 was enough, no idea how did I collect them over time .

And there's also this https://vstbuzz.com/the-vault/shimmer-shake/ and with my reward points I can have it for less than half it's price! Maybe not as awesome as the SSS but if you cannot stress out hundreds for a shaker, there is an alternative .

I can confirm too. When I load a soundbank the GUI stalls. The workaround for me was clicking on either EFFECTS or ARP tab up in the UVI window and then back to EDIT, then the GUI starts to work as normal. Not sure whether it's a Cakewalk fault, though.

A voice from heaven ... Thanks Alexey, apparently AzController is much more than I thought and that's a good thing. I'll take a close look once I buy the iCon. For the moment I have just one quick question. Without going into detail, since Platform M+ doesn't have a dedicated button for it - is it possible to assign one of the available buttons and create a custom function for it that will let icon enter a plugin control mode where I can use it's faders, knobs and buttons to control fx bin and prochannel plugins? (Synths in synth rack no possible from what I've learned already.) Guess that's all I need beside basic mixing functions. Presumably the answer is yes (perhaps even possible with Mark's mackie control plugin, idk). I've tried to download the manual for AzControl from the website but the link didn't work. Feedback you mean the display with channel names and control values etc? Like this https://iconproaudio.com/ic_product/platform-d2/

Had a look on it right now but I see it's an alternative for ACT. FWIK ACT doesn't support high resolution for the faders (10-bit i.e. 1024 setps vs 128 for MIDI). Other than that looks pretty interesting.

ChukE Baby, thanks but I think I'm going with small factor. It's a home studio, no serious recording at least by now, more of a producing/mixing ITB. And as for new gear, you know, warranty may be handy etc. Looking mostly for something that may give a bit of feeling of working with hardware mostly when mixing or fooling with plugins.

Alright, now you made me understand Marco's previous post (about instruments), thx . they released recently this https://iconproaudio.com/ic_product/platform-b/ and this https://iconproaudio.com/ic_product/platform-nano/ so there's a hope! Unfortunately I have 0 (ZERO) experience with control surfaces as by now so there are very simple questions from me, Thanks for patience.

Mark, thanks for your clarification but my question was if you can control 3rd party plugins from the MCU/HUI devices? I'm interested in buying iCon Platform M+, it looks like very basic console but it has few function buttons, I wonder if I'll be able to control plugins from it.

I'd love to have the option to jump to marker I point to but have Cakewalk do it once it reaches the end of current measure or marker or maybe other landmarks.

Is it for real? I rekon I've read some people are controlling plugins from their MCU or HUI surfaces. So what are the options, only ACT? I plan on buying little iCon or X-touch and would like to know prior to buying which route to take best.

It was "emulated" waveforms and not samples, that's how .

Not sure whether this forum has enough weight to make IKM fix the greyed out issue and I simply wait now that I have 30 days or should I go the contact support route... EDIT: 30 20

As a Blue3 organ user I can only say that it's awesome! Whether you're looking for an ultimate experience of a real hammond organ in a virtual world or just wanting something nicely growling at the back of your production, y'all get it all in one plugin, and then even more. It's got some innovative ways of controlling from your live MIDI set (like the Roland type lever-bender for slow/fast rotary switching) and the infamous Custom leslie cabinet, that I don't believe you'll be able to recreate it's sound in any other vsti! Plus on my old laptop I can throw in easily 30 instances in a project before the first dropout occurs, then I could relax a bit the tight, live-oriented buffer settings and load another 10 instances, then I had to stop the live video streaming on my second monitor and load another 10 instances etc . The only thing Blue3 is seriously lacking, in my opinion, are some quality pro-level videos, maybe good endorsement videos idk - something that could show off how good it sounds - unless I'm missing something but I don't remember seeing anything of that, a few casual youtube vids only. There are some other nice sounding organs now, the IK approach from above and of course the trustworthy VB3II (VB3 the first version is *NOT* a contender for me, though I understand it works for many... but don't know how ?) but I didn't play any of them myself yet so can't comment much on them except that I like their sound for the most part, maybe except that I'm not always a fan of VB3II leslie sound, based on the demo videos in some situations it's not "there" yet in terms of realm, oh it's great for jazz that's for sure. IKM has done a good leslie too, I think it's at the Blue3 level, both sound great and I can only hear different qualities from them.

Wondering on "buy one get one" promo if they would let you choose a different meal for the second one.

Link please?

The ARC 2.5 crossgrade is only €10 less than the full version, isn't that lame? And I have my account full of products over €99. ?

So I'm all into the double tracker and at the same time completely, let me repeat, completely not interested in the other plugin. I'm so torn...

Couldn't find any changelog for frontDAW

Yes absolutely, music/sound that's always a matter of taste and by giving our subjective opinions we're not necessarily disrespect each other, so yes I'm with you on this . What I like more in IK leslie it's the subtle grit sound of vintage tubes when the overdrive is just breaking in, I think IK has got this better than Blue3. But then, by saying that Blue3 overdrive have some room for improvement doesn't mean that it sounds bad, no not at all, and the growl... that's Blue3 at it's best! Overall Blue3 plugin as a whole does not pose much room for improvement imho. I didn't test the IK organ yet but based on some users demo videos I think it's good at similar level as Blue3.

That's interesting because if there is one area where Blue3 would benefit the most from an improvement that would be the overdrive in my opinion. And I feel very related to this plugin as I was beta tester watching it's birth, first steps and how the developer brought it to it's full glory to my pleasure.

A phantom center manipulation plugin for £179? Or even £144? Or even $99? I must be missing something...?

And where is the 11th free? Where is Fleer? ?

Thanks for the last vid. After listening to the official ones I thought to myself "oh it sounds rather like a nice clone of a hammond-suzuki clone" but this vid is putting the organ right into the Blue3 league. The only thing I'm really affraid to check is the resources it uses as Blue3 takes virtually no resources.
