Wasn't last year effects? They have a lot more effects than instruments. Mind you if you include the Syntronic and Sampletank instruments it pushes the numbers up a bit.

This is ridiculous, Signing up required four different "I am not a robot" tests. Once signed up there are three tests to make a post. I have been trying to setup B-3 V2 in Studio One so I have a MIDI track for each manual and the pedals on channels 1,2 & 3, something that is easy in Cakewalk. As other VSTis with multi channel inputs like Kontakt, Sample Tank, GSI VB3, Play etc. have a channel selector in the track header in Studio One and B-3 does not I think this is an Arturia issue. Looking at the general level of activity on the forum I am not holding my breath for an answer, the catchpas probably put everyone off.

A little heavy on CPU but totally worth it.

Will this do odd time signatures? Any 5/4 patterns for example.

A suggestion. Some of the Sonic Reality drum kits have been ported to Sample Tank 4. I have most of them for BFD. I love the Hugh Padgham kit in particular. If you don't have BFD this could be way to get these kits.

The Hammond is the only big one that really intrests me. It is probably the best emulation out there, but I don't see it as €199 better than my current options. Plus I can also route those through the T-Racks Leslie to close the gap further. I am still minded to just go for some Syntronic instruments if I do decide to jump in.

A very good deal, pity it wont add a month to my annual all access pass. I have been getting a lot out of Groove 3 recently, their videos are generally very good.

I don't think I paid that much for Nectar 3.

IIRC there is a (substantial) minimum purchase of $198 to get the freebie.

Mmmm, I am not up for one of the big ones but 5 Syntronic expansions might tempt me. Can we use jam points?

I just got an email $99 buying direct from Slate. $49 for trigger. https://stevenslatedrums.com/ssd5/?utm_campaign=End of Summer Drum Sale 2020 &utm_medium=email&_hsmi=92629653&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-91I5L0BXIYDlubejAsBajBVumf6VjVE1Vs3QIj0uwBP7G1UU_jXmeWPl5wDdOxvlY_FD3CcJ8Svxm7KuG3ZSMfWzWN4Q&utm_content=92629653&utm_source=hs_email

You get a lot more for your money to be sure. Drumlab is a bit of a specialty really if you want to create hybrid sounds so i would not say Slate compared in concept. The Abbey Road drums are probably on a par sound wise.

The sounds are great but for me the player has been the issue, I think I even preferred it when it was a Kontakt instrument. If fact I was considering reinstalling the Kontakt version now I have some free disc space, if I can find my backup discs. I had hoped version 5 would address some of my dislike of version 4 but the free version has not convinced me. That said this is a very good price for some excellent sounding drums.

Well I went and got the Tonal Balance bundle cross-grade from Plugin Boutique. There may have been possible savings elsewhere by dodging the VAT and looking at currency rates but the tokens and virtual cash means a few quid of my next order so there is probably not a lot in it. I did not have Neutron at all previously, but I did have Nectar 3. All in all I am happy to get Neutron Advanced, upgrade my Ozone 8 standard to 9 Advanced and get RX elements 7 (I previously had 6) for £128.

OK, thanks. I must admit I did not read a lot of that correspondence in that thread but I did see there was some confusion. I just ran Software Centre after seeing his post and it updated almost everything, so i must have the one you are referring to.

I don't see anything in my Software Center. Is this a further update to 7.2 (posted by cclarry last week) ?

£128 on plugin boutique inc VAT for UK customers. Not sure if customers in the US can buy at the ex VAT price of £106.67

Looks like the tonal balance bundle might be the most cost effective way of upgrading my Òzone 8 standard to Ozone 9 advanced. I shall have to investigate further.

The update I want is for Riffer to have a chord changing facility rather than just a transpose. Say you are in G Major and you want a ii chord, you transpose to A and you get a major rather than minor chord. I tried dragging riffs out to Studio 1 so I could use the new keyswitch lane and chord track. This works up to a point, the problem is when the chord changes notes can get moved out of the range of the instrument (strings?). It Amplesound could introduce chord selection similar to EZ Keys into Riffer it would be a major step forward. I assume it would not be that easy to implement, but would not be surprised if Toontrack were considering in it for a future instrument.

Looks like the lowest price is for Francesca. Prices come up in pounds for me its £54.95 including VAT. I also see Strawberry but it is 33% off at £73.34. The best deal is on the bundle for £114.95 - you get the four voices Francesca Genco, Linda Strawberry, Bryan Lane and Michael Peaslee I have these for an earlier fire sale and they are very nice, but I have not yet used them in a completed piece of music. The bundle works with the free Kontakt Player (version 5.6.8+) but Francesca bought alone need the full version of Kontakt,

No other issues, and the one I did encounter was probably due to processor overload with the other plugins, Melodyne was just the final straw. 5 is a significant update. The sibilance tool is very good.

Yes, Cakewalk has Bitbridge which bridges 32 bit plugins to the 64 bit system. Most will work but its not always plain sailing and some may not work too well. If you get problems there is a third party bridge called JBridge which was useful back in the time I was still trying to use 32 bit plugins. EDIT - Abacab was typing his almost identical answer at the same time as me - Great minds thin alike.

I have done quite a bit of work with Melodyne 5 studio in Cakewalk since upgrading. The only issues where when I went back to do some remedial edits on a project that was close to finished and had a lot of fx running. This caused a unrecoverable dropout. The solution was to restart Cakewalk, turn off the fx and do and render the edit before turning them back on. CPU load is very high on this project. It may be unrelated to your issue but turning off any fx may be worth a try. Do you have the latest Cakewalk version installed? I seem to recall some ARA fixes mentioned in release notes a while back but can't be sure.

Same here.

The user defined resources folder is a significant step forward. It can get quite large and be an issue if your system drive space is at a premium. They had a hack for relocation which automatically set up a directory join after it moved the folder. I did this. It will be intresting to see what happens after the upgrade
