Footnote for those who downloaded and installed v152 previously: The installer I had from June 30th (also v152) had 525 presets and included presets from Insomnia and Transmutation, but not All that Jazz. The one I just downloaded (TY Erik!) has 21 more presets from All That Jazz for a total of 546. My new swatches-v152-win.zip file shows as 14,706KB. The previous one shows as 14,699KB. In other words: not all swatches versions 1.5.2 were created equal. ? IIRC the previous one also had the NKS option.

I am thinking the black lettering on light -> medium light shades of grey might have more of a universal appeal across the board, but I would agree--it would be very nice if the lettering and the background were themeable perhaps with presets so we could have different menu colors in different places. During one EA a few updates ago we actually had the ability to use custom colors for the DX/VST/VST3 designations in the synth menus. They were later hard-coded. As much as I would like more customizability for UI colors like these, I am not sure it will happen. A happy compromise to complete customizability might be user preset/slots for sets of menu preferences but I am thinking changing colors via the theme editor would require fewer changes to the code. (Just a guess.)

Thanks for the borders when categories are expanded. Much easier to see the choices.

FYI: as of 2021.09 EA build 099 these menus have been reverted to a black on light grey, though from what I see on my PC, the background grey is a darker that 2021.06 and the highlight color is darker. Also, there is now a border around the fly-out menu when we expand a category. To me the border is a definite improvement because it makes seeing the expansion fly-out much easier.

It seems there's an update to version 1.0.6.

Yeah--that's what I was remembering. Thanks for saving me from having to look for it.

Sorry for not being clear. I was just wondering if the discussion was about the EA version. For me, I got the regular version (black letters on light grey background) when I rolled back to 2021.06. However, each time I installed the 2021.09 EA version both the right-click context menu for the FX Bin in the Track View and the Console View was white lettering on a black background . There was no user choice that I could see. I got the same white letters on a black background no matter which theme I used. I originally asked if that was intentional, but after 4 pages in the EA thread, no one commented, so I assumed it was an intended across the board change. I recall someone had something like this. I will double check now. YUP: Just like yesterday, under 2021.09 EA I get the white letters on black background for both Mercury and Tungsten when right clicking under the FX Bin (1) in the Track View, (2) in the Console View, and (as I just discovered) (3) in the Inspector. I deleted my comments about this (asking if it was intentional), because the last time I said something [about the L/R port numbers in the EA thread] there was a lot of backlash--including a comment about us olde tymers not thinking there was a reason for it. ?

BTW, one of the greens reminds me of Necco Green.

Are you talking about the change in the newest EA Version: v. ? Clarification: image 1 (dark text on light background) is from when I rolled back to 2021.06; image 2 (white on black) is from 2021.09 EA.

The new export UI seems to quite handy! Looking forward to learning to use it.

In fact there are a number of more recent posts / threads that address this. For example, see the link michheld posted (immediately above). For me, the built-in update has worked for a while. Menu Bar > Help > Check for Updates I see that some of my old posts are in this thread. Since they have been superseded, I will edit have edited them so that others don't think that what was true in 2020 is still valid.

@Peter - IK Multimedia Is it possible in essence to get the 6-for-1 Power Reels collection by joining the 25th Anniversary up to 25 for 1 promotion by registering one of the @ $99 Tape Machines and picking up the other 5 in the collection? Or are there differences between the ones in the Anniversary promotion and the 6-for-1 collection (and if so, what are the differences)? Thanks.

I believe this is the version of TS2MAX I got. According to that page, AmpliTube 5 SE was included. Compare that with the spreadsheet as well as your own personal SUPPORT > User Area > My Products page at the IK site. Not 100% sure but I vaguely remember that AmpliTube 5 SE may have been a freebie added to the package. Doesn't hurt to check to see if you have it.

Thanks for checking!!! I just did a plain old refresh and I got 279, too: And 4421 + 279 is a multiple of 100!! ?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the shift-refresh trick (top 3 below) and also clearing browser history (the next 3): [image deleted] Maybe tomorrow I might try rebooting my PC each time I want to check the status. Maybe.

YUP!!! These are from the span of several minutes five days ago (in order of occurrence): [image deleted] Not only does it change, but Column 1 + Column 3 doesn't add up to a multiple of 1,000. Fuzzy Math! ?

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that "The Black Page # 1 & # 2" was not worth listening to. I meant that spending time to explain why it wasn't off-topic wasn't worth it.

Never mind. EDIT:

Non-Off-Topic Song removed due to a misunderstanding. Its really not worth it.

For the record, I have given up trying to figure out why TTS-1 consistently works on my PC when it doesn't work properly for other users. For me TTS-1 was always just a software substitute for hardware (some of my Roland stuff). I found it useful for sketching out possible arrangements / orchestrations, playing midi files just to hear what they sounded like, for diagnosing audio routing / interface issues, etc.

Just listened to this and discovered that even though I hadn't heard it in decades, I still don't like it. Surprised that you didn't post a song with a groovy sax part, like "Yeh, Yeh" (live version) or the studio version. Georgie Fame's version doesn't tie in with the current song. But maybe this version does (since its an instrumental)? Or this one?

I didn't realize the logo images hadn't been documented in Colin's Guide. Great that you noticed that omission!
