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.

FUNK ME! ? speechless

Oh I see, that looks more like regular Kontakt-style keyswitching . Still I think Maestro Tools was more automatic, read intelligent, unless things like alternate bowing, legato-slur etc, are coded into GPO5 patches/instruments. This is a fragm. of text taken from SOS (https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/garritan-orchestral-strings): "However, one of the best articulation tricks can be found in the ALT détaché patches, where samples automatically alternate between up and down bow strokes as you play them. This is achieved with MaestroTools, a utility that sits between the notes played on the keyboard and the GigaStudio patch. (ALT 88 patches are also included, where the up and down-bow samples are mapped to different areas of the keyboard.) MaestroTools is also capable of a second trick when used with the special legato (LEG) patches where, to create realistic smooth legato lines, you can use the sustain pedal to trigger 'masking' samples that subtly bridge the gap between the end of one note, and the slow attack on the next. Whether the results of all this articulation magic are convincing depends on the context of the music, and the care taken in programming, but it's possible to create some amazingly convincing textures you'd never believe were produced with a sampled string orchestra. There are other controls for altering 'warmth', attack, and the length of short bowed notes." I know Orchestral Strings sounds beautiful alone but these scripts really took them to a whole new level of realism.

Probably my quickest way to the bass land.

welcome home! that question was brought up already many times but no joy so far

Anybody?? Thx

yes but, if you look at this plugin, it's givin a lot control over both sides in a single sleek UI https://audec-music.com/adc-haasspread/
