Alternate routes to similar results fit different work flows. Sometimes right-clicking the track header pane is far more convenient than other methods. I find most of the times using the Menu Bar > Insert menu is more work, but (1) sometimes it's convenient and (2) some people prefer using menu bars as a preferred workflow. There are two type of people in the world, those who say there should be only one path to inner peace and those who believe there can be many acceptable paths. One person might advocate for 2 or 3 favorite ways to insert plugins and those ought to be the only ones available for everyone. Another person might favor 2 or 3 different ways. Yet another person always uses a browser to choose what's presented in hierarchical dialog and never uses the menu bar or the right click methods. One person might favor dropping and dragging; someone else might favor other methods. Do "we" really need to risk alienating users by eliminating their personal efficiencies for the sake of simplification? If you prefer one or two methods, you are free to use them exclusively. YUP! ?

"VST instruments need a tabbed window." = ??????? VSTs can be placed inside the Multidock and we can switch between them by selecting the Multidock tabs. It seems like you want something more/different than that. So I am confused. We can currently (for example) have one tab in the Multidock for the Synth Rack followed by several tabs each having one VST/Soft Synth. We can switch from one tab in the Multidock to another tab by selecting different tabs. Unfortunately (at least the last time I looked) we cannot reorder the tabs. That's probably been requested previously.

It's a sign!!!!!

I call dibs on the first post on the first page after 909. I want to post a Beatle tune to celebrate.

LOL. I was wondering if it was "weird" because you are unfamiliar with that type of synthesis. The manual does describe Loading User Samples, and a whole bunch of wild features! See: PDF Manual Online Manual (as web pages).

OK . . . Found it . . . I just pasted the links to the videos I post over there (not the teaser since its already released).

Out of curiosity, what do you find weird--the UI? the synth engine/architecture? the sounds it can make? something else? I ask because I found it very straightforward and logically laid out.

I am pretty sure I found at least one site that has a variety of *.ins files for Yamaha. Where have you looked so far? UPDATE: I'm still looking, but in the meantime have you seen this post? UPDATE # 2: Evidently Yamaha has a whole page that includes a tool in addition to how to use it. UPDATE # 3: If Yamaha doesn't have the ones you need or the tool they have doesn't work for your variants, this site has some resources that might help you. If you have the MIDI documentation for your products, it should be straightforward to tweak an existing Yamaha *.ins file. UPDATE # 4: TX -802 Owner's Manual

No!!!!! Use some of the money you save ($3,890.00 $79.00 = $3,811) for an 8 TB 5400RPM HDD for storage (est. $200 - $350) and have it all!

BTW, as long as I had VST Inventory open yesterday, I sorted by Size (double clicked the header) and saw that the largest plugin reported was 200,396,800 bytes. The next largest vst3 reported was "only" 139,299,552 bytes. I use the former for some types of music, but I only use the latter to check out free plug-ins which I almost never use after that. Sometimes I use VST Inventory to look for the number of audio I/Os plug-ins have. My second largest VST3 seems to be able to use up to 64 outputs. That kind of information is good to know for future possibilities. Just for the fun of it, I filtered by Name = Drum and sorted by number of Outputs. That might be useful to me someday. Also, I just did a search I've used in the past: Synth = Y, sorted by Inputs. Sometimes I use Instruments for their FX capabilities. Ones that I expected to see are there. There are some I haven't used as FX processors, but it doesn't surprise me. But there is one freebie (the dll version of the Kia instrument) that I almost never use that seems to have 64 Ins and 64 Outs.

Thanks for clarifying that your post about the tool not finding VST3s was erroneous.

About 1/2 hour ago I downloaded CbB Tools again from the link in the post I gave, installed it, and ran VST Inventory. It found dlls and vst3s. After the Inventory ran, did you scroll down to the plugins that have a Y [Yes} in the VST3 column? Did you select VST3 for the filter and search for Y [VST3 = Y]? It works here using Simple Match. CbB Tools v2.0.10. PS: I have Win 10 Pro.

Its funny. I started to watch an interview just last week. Maybe it was this one; not sure. Maybe it was fed to me by YouTube. In any case, I am sure it was last week. CONFIRMED: 2023-08-24, this YouTuber's interview. Most likely in YouTube's column that shows videos-we-think-you'd-like-based-on-Google's-preferences/watched-or-liked-video tracking system.

You're supposed to remove the legs first!

You could ask for money back for the duplicate. Maybe they will give it to you. Maybe they won't, but it's a starting point to get the conversation going. Since you are such a good customer, it might be worth their while to just pay you for the second copy and retain you as a satisfied customer. You never know until you try.

all is good! ?

Not sure if this stems from my comment (see above). In any case, let me clarify. My purchase of Xpand!2 as a single was not a case of accidentally buying something I already had. The VIP 3.1 Complete Bundle included it and I knew that. But Plugin Boutique only gave me 1/2 to 1/3 of the serial numbers that they should have. In case the bundle turned out to be a mistake and they were not going to honor my purchase, I intentionally purchased Xpand!2 as a single (I think it was $10), so at least I would have that in case they backed out of the sale. The bundle was my first purchase from PB and I had no idea if they would get me all the SNs I was supposed to get. Apologies if the context wasn't clear from the abbreviated version of the episode I posted. BTW, the bottom line is that they got me all the serial numbers/downloads/codes for all of the products listed in the bundle. IIRC it took close to a week to get it sorted out, but I didn't hold that against them because them came through for me.

Arturia's is the closest. This one has little punch and the modulation has noticeable differences. Just an update: As a low-cost CZ soft synth, Virtual CZ worked well for most of what I wanted it for. However, I have since gotten into the Arturia V Collection and really appreciate their modernized CZ V version.

Thanks to your posts on this subject and the interest they seem to have created, I looked at the contents of the various tabs--not just My Products, but Orders, Updates, and Free. It brought back some memories--like my first purchase at Plugin Boutique the VIP 3.1 Complete Bundle which I found after all the comments about AIR Music Technology's products, especially Xpand!2. Unlike your problem, I only had a few serial numbers for some of the products allegedly in the bundle. Although I was bordering on thinking this was a case of Bait-and-switch, it did get resolved after a number of exchanges with customer support, but not before I made a separate purchase for Xpand!2 which I just "had to have" because of all the wonderful things I had seen about it. I also saw that I have a whole bunch of freebies (some downloaded as freebies, some acquired as monthly perks). Also, I had forgotten that I used to purchase Melda plugins there. I also saw I had updates including update notices for Melda plugins I got through Plugin Boutique. I find it very odd that I now have order numbers from today for 6 free items from over the years. Oh, wait. Those were generated from clicking "Download" today via the My Updates tab and includes one for MSoundFactoryLE. I will try clicking another update for one of the others I originally got from Plugin Boutique. YUP!!!!!! Of course, for Melda, the button just goes to the usual Melda Productions Downloads/Installer web page. Is there any chance you clicked on the Download buttons in Plug-in Boutique using the My Updates mechanism?
