No, none of them do Larry justice! Irreplaceable! ?

See how good my memory is? ? Thanks for the reminder though. ? It does show that it happens on newer machines too.

947! I'll get my coat straight jacket!

For me it is higher cpu usage than you, probably because my PC is less capable than yours. But, even at 11%, just think if you are doing multi guitar layering. For example, two rhythm guitars pan left and right, a bass and a two lead guitars playing harmonies all with their on instance of AT5, along with all the rest of the plugins. It might start to matter at some point too. If you have a bit of time, install 5.0.3 and compare the cpu usage. It does not take very long and I would be very curious to see your numbers. My guess is that on your machine 5.0.3 should run at about 5% cpu. But I would really like to know if it's machine dependent or not. Meaning it does that on some PC configurations and not others.

I miss Larry... ? Freebies are just not the same without him! ?

Oh, I didn't know about the meme, that explains why I didn't understand that post. But honestly, it can't be easy moderating a thread and guessing where to draw the line. I am just glad they are not closing thread on bad humor, I'd be gone in a jiffy!

I did check this afternoon, and no the CPU usage has not drop on my Windows PC. Support has answered me that they are looking into it with a few users a week ago. But it wouldn't hurt for you to open a ticket. The more information they have the better, and it is also important for them to know how many users are experiencing this. I am still on 5.0.3, which unfortunately does not allow me to use the X gear stuff, for now. Edit: But it does not crash or lock up for me, it just uses a lot more cpu than 5.0.3. Either standalone or as a plugin in Cakewalk.

Well this is it! Another freebie! ? It is now Bapu's turn to be eliminated... from the list, nothing more of course! Well, unless @Bapu would like to stick with his original guess of 42? You would still be in the run and, who knows, maybe @Peter - IK Multimedia would extend this GB until we get to your 42, just to be nice to you! ?Maybe then IK would give us life, the universe and everything! ? As you can see, no one picked 22 or 23! So my next post for this will either be to announce there is no winner, or to proclaim Eusebio as the ultimate GB visionary! Stay tuned... it may take a little while though. ?

What foolishness?!?!? Here in this thread!?!?! Where?

@InstrEd: Now I know why you didn't get a free keyboard from @Peter - IK Multimedia: IK doesn't make wave shaped keyboards!

Fixed! ?

136, might be today!

I just noticed that the descriptions do not always align with the name. They are off by one starting with Amplitube 5 SE but seem to get back ok with the JCA100H. But there are other areas that are off, ex. arc3 software only, EQ73. Not a big deal and doesn't take away the usefulness of the spreadsheet.

Best bet is to look in custom shop. Search for X-Space in CS and you should see a green circled check mark showing you have it. If you do and it is not showing up in AT5, you should do a 'restore my purchases' in CS, that should do it. Individual pieces of gear do not show up in your list of products, only collections. One other thing, if your AT5 version is not 5.1.0 or greater it may not show up the X gear. The release notes for 5.1.0 states that X gear support was added. But be aware that for some people, myself included, the new version came at the cost of double cpu usage. IK support is aware of the problem, hopefully it will be fixed.

Wow! I'm impressed! ?

I kind of understand the question. I believed the new 'Amplitube X-Gear Pedals' where Amplitube effects put into an hardware pedal. You must admit the name suggest that. And certainly the name of the effects in these pedals, that correspond to some AT5 effects, suggest that too. So it is fair to think that you could reproduce the same sounds using effects in AT5 and that the pedals emulation would not be that useful if you already had everything in AT5. Easy mistake to make. But as @Peter - IK Multimedia puts it, they incorporate new algorithms. Or at least reworked algorithms. They must at least be based on some of the existing stuff a bit, as I am sure IK is building upon its extensive experience. So, if you think that these are different enough, then it is not 4 new plugins, but more like 64 new plugins you are getting since each incorporates 16 pedal variety! They are even nicer to get if you don't already have these effects in your AT5 arsenal. But you may also think, with all the effects you already have in AT5, these could be a bit superfluous. Scratch that, wrong forum! ?

I was just wondering what to do now that the spreadsheet did not reflect the current reality. Thanks, mucho appreciated!

All those listed + the 4 new X pedals

Yeah, really nice! Fuels the excitement for the GB!

Let us know how you like them when you have had time to play with them. ? Do they bring something new to the already extensive collection of stuff in AT5? I presume many of the preset in these pedals come from already available effects in AT5, no?

Found it by doing a search in the registry. For some reason the plugin, Ecoplate, was removed but an entry was still present in the registry. Deleted it and it removed the empty entry in the plugin list!

I just tried Saturator X this morning. Although some will argue that it is a totally different beast than the tape machines, I like it a lot! In tape mode it retains more of the high end and enhances it. It is much, much easier to use for someone not familiar with the inner workings of a tape machine and it is barely using any CPU. A winner for me!

I have an empty entry for a manufacturer in my plugin list that has nothing underneath it. Is there a way to get rid of it? I did search the web for HEAR360 but didn't find anything I have installed as far as I know. I guess it may be because its plugin is excluded, I don't know.

I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! We'll kind of. But let's not go down that rabbit hole! ?? It's just that it has been a few hours since the last freebie and I didn't post the update to the 'guess the number of freebies' yet! Ok, I have to cross some nice people from the list again! ? @kevin H along with the most helpful guy promoting this GB, @Peter - IK Multimedia! You have helped us all, thanks mate!
