Tried deactivating both from from iLok Manager, and little plate still worked and , uninstalling. Reinstalling, not activating through iLok. Went back to the email, realized I never entered the activation code they sent me, checked my account, saw that no iLok was associated despite having little plate activated through it. Tried opening the VST direct from the folder, which opened audacity, and prompted the activation codes, that was now out of date, there was an iLok option with my computer name. clicked that, both Little plate and Phasemistess showing. Opening cakewalk, still nothing. Then saw your reply, tried it and now it works. Thank you for that.

I installed this last week, added to my iLok, but it's not showing in Cakewalk. I have Littleplate from last year, it's in the same location (Common Files\VST3\Soundtoys) alongside Phase mistress, and it's showing in iLok License Manager as activated with 1 of 2 activations. When iLok activated Cakewalk auto ran it plug in scan, but showed 0 new additions. Anyone know what I have missed here?

I don't think it depends on what you own. I can't see a price for XO, because I have it. But LIFE is listed for me as $89.40 not $62.40 as Overbit sees. I have XO, Addictive Drums, all but 4 Adpaks, all the KitPeices, but 2 and all four ADKeys, Retro Colour and Drum Shaper. I'm basically missing LIFE and Drum Trigger, so I think that pricing was a glitch.

Yeah I think that's a Glitch. Life is $89.40 for me, and the XLN site picks up my location, so no Tax is added. JRR, Audio Delux and PLuginBoutique are always cheaper than from XLN when these broader sales are on. One of the few companies I nearly have all their stuff from, and always from 3rd parties over the past 10 or so years.

https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/studio-tools/xln-audio-xo Code SUMMER2024 $69.15, plus FREE IK Multimedia Obie One and $3.45 DeluxeBucks https://www.jrrshop.com/xln-audio-xo JRR shop is 64.15 with the code GROUP I'm happier with the LIFE deals at JRR, AudioDelux and Plugin Boutique, but 16 days away from my first paycheck since June and my finances haven't been this stuffed in about 8 years. Sale is on for 11 more days. May have to hold out until Black Friday

Damn, I feel robbed, I paid 64$? Edit, my bad, I paid $55.24 and got Melda Analog EQ thrown in, but I did have 1.74 DeluxeBucks ?

Damn, I was rally hoping for more off on LIFE. I think it's gone for 91$ before, and it's 111$. May hold off until black Friday

I think they stopped, as an incentive to upgrade. I posted above at the same time as you reply. But this is when I think I unsubscribed from them. This was just their annual freebie though, may still work on the paid option. Or maybe I just have all the chromophone 2 only ones.

I think I unsubscribed to their emails when I found that the new soundpacks wouldn't work on 2. They usually (or at used to) give a free soundpack every year, but being I don't really use the other synths, and the free ones wouldn't work on 2, I figured I'd just save the time on wading through demos trying to see what I could get for synths I don't use.

Do you think they modified the engine too then, or just went over a tweaked the settings. I guess they may have done between the original and 2. I can't recall if I had the original. I had their whole bundle (Tassman, Lizard,String and VA) and their Delay. Chromophone is definitely my favourite and pretty much the only one I ever turn to. They are all good though (Tassman just collected dust)., Usually the first thing I do on a synth preset is turn off the effects before I start tweaking, that looks to be 3 pages now with 1 per layer and a global. In the past I would have just upgraded, but I look back at all the little upgrade and thing I've bought and how many times they come around on sale. Maybe I'm just over it all a bit. I know the 3 things I'll grab when I'll see them on sale, and the rest will come around again. Sorry, just thinking out loud here a bit.

You can cross resonate within a layer, but between it's just a blend control, according to their video. I don't follow, sorry?

So it's really just a a presets push. I can send midi to one or more Chromophones as it is., and have them both open at the same time, instead of switching views. Shame they don't cross resonate with each other, as that's the concept of the synth in itself.

Isn't it just 2 layered Chromophone 2s with some cosmetics changes? Seems the main benefit is that when AAS offer you a free pack once a year, the Chromophone3 is compatible, whereas 2 no longer is.

So the NRPMs with the MIDI VST are messing things up, and in different ways. So there is nothing I can do about that. So I'm looking at a work around to merge MIdi inputs in parallel instead of series. When I select an input port on all the hardware and software input ports are listed. To merge input ports you can set up a preset from the preset manager at the bottom of the same list. But The preset manager only lists hardware input ports, not software. I'm kind of guessing I'm stuck on this one. The only thing I can do is print the midi and the miniplate the CCs after the MIDI VST has don it's job. Which is a shame as Harmony bloom, is a Polyrhythmic phrase generator, capable of creating evolving phrases of very long bar lengths, and it's often about subtle dialing in. And it works so well with this FM synth, and dialing that in a the same time continually surprises me. EDIT: or I can just not connect my Launch Control to my PC, and just directly into my MPC with a USB hub. And reconnect it for recording CC automation.
