That is the unfortunate thing about war. Lots of totally innocent people get hurt. As I used to say to my kids when they were small, "I don't care who started it, it has to stop."

I also saw it at KVR maybe a month or so ago. IIRC it was not for existing products, but for new products though I could be misremembering that. If it was for updating existing products I might have gotten through more than 7/8 of the NDA. UPDATE: Confirmed; new products (at least the notice I saw).

Just my opinion: "The forum" is a collection of individuals. Not all forum members agree on the same things as other forum members. Some individuals come into the forum and automatically assume the frustrations they experience are "caused by" the software (and therefore they "blame" the software). Some individuals come to the forum with the assumption that they did something "wrong" or lack something from their personal knowledge bases. In diagnosing issues and trying to help others solve problems, it is often best to rule out certain things. Some people who reply are more terse than others. If you were to do a content analysis of replies to requests for help making better use of the software, my guess is that you probably would find diversity in the responses. As for me, I usually start from the assumption that I either don't know enough, I missed something, or I did something wrong. We are all different.

Apologies for suggesting something you already tried. I read your posts from Feb 22 about CAL but didn't realize that was the same thing I was suggesting. Now I know.

Bluffmunkey Cinematic Sounds Available for KV331's Synthmaster One. Free for (1) owners of Synthmaster Everything Bundle and (2) owners of SynthMaster One Expansions Bundle. Available for purchase for others. Steps I used that worked for me: Start SynthMaster One. [I used the standalone version on one PC and the plug-in within CbB on another PC.] Click on the BROWSE button [if not already in Browser mode]. On the left side of the UI near the top, select KV331 Audio Store. On the right side of the UI, Right Click in the KV331 Audio Products List. Select Refresh My Licenses and/or Restore My Expansions [might take a while to Restore if you need to do that] Note: On one PC I only had to refresh my licenses; on the other I needed to do both. Needed to wait for purchased expansions to download! Evidently I hadn't done this in a while so I also downloaded and installed the latest version.

I am exploring this problem for myself ATM. With Syntronik 2 SE, I had 104 Generation 1 V-80 Presets and 12 Generation 2 V-80 Presets. I thought I added the "freebie" correctly, but that only added 3 additional Generation 2 V-80 Presets. I looked in a file I unzipped and installed and sure enough, it only contained 3 new ones (for a total of 15, not 38). I have some theories on what might have happened if it is user error (mine). I might not have downloaded, unzipped, and installed everything. Testing now . . . Updated post anticipated . . . BTW, under My Products > Download Resources, the link for SYN2_V-80_SL_Update.zip and SYN2_V-80_SL_Update.dmg are switched. I think I just ran that updater (the unzipped zip file installer). So that might explain why I have 12 + 3 Generation 2 V-80 presets. Maybe! BINGO!!!!! I now have 38. TY abacab!!!!! Not sure if this will help others, but evidently the update file just added 3 Generation 2 presets. With the IKM Product Manager I saw that although I had downloaded the V-80 freebie, I did not Installed it. (The button was grey.) So, I told it to update and now I have the 38 Generation 2 V-80 presets! ?

Thanks for confirming this. If you want to have some fun trying to understand what's going on, take a Generation 2 preset and compare editing it in the Generation 1 editor (the one that simulates a hardware instrument panel) and the Generation 2 editor (what IKM calls the "Edit Panel"). The EDIT button at the bottom of the UI toggles between the two.

Its a long story.** I might have miscounted 104 and its really 102. I like the new Edit Panel and the fact that we have 4 "oscillators" per Generation 2 preset. **For a small part of the story, see this. BTW, I did get past the 500-level errors and all the APD please wait type circles.

TY!!!! SE only has 12 Generation 2 [i.e., fully editable] presets. I will get it if I can get past the 500-level errors. I counted 104 Generation 1 presets. And yes, counting them is silly, but IKM doesn't have a list, just the version comparison numbers.

Thanks for the explanation. That is consistent with what I found over the past couple of weeks. How many Generation 2 presets are there with just with the V-80 Instrument selected? That should tell me if there are more than what I have in Syntronik 2 SE.

If anyone tried these in either Syntronik 2 CS or SE, I would be very interested to know if these are "Generation 2" presets (fully editable in Syntronik 2, including by use of the Edit Panel that opens with the EDIT button at the bottom of the UI). I already have multiple licenses of the Generation 1 presets which cannot be edited with the Syntronik 2 Edit Panel. Thanks.

To me, the free insider stories are a deal. And they break up the monotony of so-called deal after so-called deal. But I can understand if someone disagrees. I'd hate to see this thread have to be closed because it escalates. So, in the interest of peace in the thread, perhaps you might want to use the ignore button for Reid's posts. Offered as a friendly suggestion.

Now that you mention it, I have done something similar. Over the past decade or so, I have listened to and/or purchased from electronic and ambient artists who offer their albums and entire collections through bandcamp. I generally heard the music on any of a number internet stations I have grown to trust. Also, in some cases I knew the artists from live streamed performances, from personal contact at events I participated in, etc. I am on the mailing lists for a couple so I find out about new releases. I can't remember how many decades ago I gave a rat's tail about music pimped out by "the industry."

I had REmatrix Player open (standalone) and then had a pop-up saying it has been updated (1.2.10) since I installed it.

I followed the instructions on the website (which stony posted) and it was a breeze!! The only thing extra I had to do was a vst scan. That's between step 3 and 4. To clarify: In my case, the authorizer self-populated the code. I assume it did so because I had logged in to my Overloud account at some point.

WOW! I never knew this. I always thought it used MIDI gear. Gonna boot Cakewalk and some gear to test. I hope "they" didn't remove that. UPDATE: PHEW!!!!! You had me worried there, John . Please don't do that. We can still use external gear for the MIDI Metronome.

removed (the info is at the link above)

Withdrawn. The message I used to get in SONAR was the one for MIDI Sync.

Some people don't like to use the word "MASTER."

Removed because it sounded like I was being judgmental.

Did you try sending CCs as listed in the Reference Guide? If they work, you could try creating an *.ins file. I did that with a couple of Roland "Intelligent Arranger" sound modules [CA-30 & RA-30]. It worked. Your Korg has much more to switch, but it looks like the process of using a bank switch + a program change should do it. It might also have sysex options, but I didn't find a sysex manual. Did you try any tests by inserting bank switches + program changes using the event list as suggested above? I seem to remember that's what I did before creating an *.ins file. That was a long time ago, but I probably started with the midi commands on the control track pointed to my gear at the rate of one style change per measure and watched the front panel to see if the changes happened.

Someone mentioned the series of giveaways and I watched the first one, then forgot about it. So thanks for the reminder!

Just a guess: perhaps Output 1 + is really a stereo pair of audio outputs as in Output 1 + Output 2 and the OP is not using a Master Bus?

Thanks for the info. I was (and still am) logged in. But I see MODO DRUM CS in my user area. So, maybe I clicked on that thinking that like Syntronik 2 CS it would add something; not sure. If so, maybe having the CS version wiped out my $79 offer. Not a big deal for me, though. I have plenty of other drums. Hope IKM can get their act together for the sake of others.
