Updating SampleTank to version 4.1.2 causes Cubase to crash. Nice! I had to laugh when I read that "General Reliability Improvements" was one of the items in the Release Notes. Just what I need, more DAW pain... It's a nice trade-off: my software is completely up-to-date, and it's completely unusable. And SampleTank 4 is no longer listed in My Products. So now I can't even fix this problem. What a joke!

The installers prompt you for these locations (both VST and VST3).

Peter, Would you please ask your developers to just show the products we actually own when we click on "Manage My Products"? Currently it mixes what you own with stuff you don't own. And it would be nice to be able to hide the scrolling product banner at the top of the Product Manager. Cheers...

I just succesfully updated AmpliTube, Modo Bass, SampleTank and T-Racks. I wish I had this a few months ago when I was installing StudioMax. I like that I was able to choose the path where the installers were downloaded. I set it to my USB docking station which is where I archive my studio software. This saved me the time of moving the files from my laptop to that drive.

Wave Destroyer is an audio distortion plugin capable of a massive range of tones. The distortion character is endlessly tweak-able thanks to a unique compliment of controls as well as independent pre and post EQ sections. It can be used subtly as a saturator and exciter or it can be a tool of ultimate sonic destruction. Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, glitchy broken tones, and anything else you can dream up; its all possible with Wave Destroyer. https://www.gmhaudio.com/wave-destroyer

PreFET is a Machine-Learning based transistor pre-amp emulation which was designed using the same concept as PreTube. The included artificial neural network has learnt to precisely imitate the transistor pre-amp stage of a 70s tabletop cassette recorder. Depending on the Drive-Setting PreFET can colour your sounds from subtle analogue saturation to heavy overdrive. https://www.accentize.com/PreFET

It's not bad; but IMO it lacks 'character' compared to Kramer Master Tape, J37, Saturn, iZotope Exciter, etc.

Thank you trager and simon ... enabling the Legacy VST Support option fixed the problem. ?

After running their installer, all of my previous .dll-files were deleted and replaced with just: Black Rooster Audio.dll. Okay, no problem if that's how they're doing it now. But! Now none of my previous plugins are detected in Cubase, including Magnetite. Nice! So what they're saying is: No plugins for you! Come back one year.

I think just a subset judging from the announcement video.

Presonus seems to have closed the feature-gap between Cubase and S1 enough so that I can finally ditch Cubase. Fingers crossed...

The ATOM SQ MIDI Controller.

Just listened to the KNIF Knifonium Tube Synth playthrough and was very underwhelmed. It sounds like just another generic synth rather than something with unique character like DS Thorn or Lion (both of which I love and use often).

Very nice freebie! Lots of vintage vibe.

I'm hoping that version 11 will finally deliver the much needed (and requested) bug fixes, stability and productivity improvements. Matthias Quellmann seems to have hinted that may be the case in this post: https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=283&t=189447&p=1011022&hilit=boring#p1011022

That worked great -- thanks!

Yeah, but is it Yellow?

I watched it too as well as the ones by Chris Lord-Alge, Piper Payne, Tony Maserati, and Chris Baseford. The only one I found useful/insightful was the one by Chris Baseford. It's not just that Waves plugs their plugins, but the classes were very unfocused. I plan to watch Eddie Kramer's masterclass; but with low expectations. I'm hoping to be surprised.

Are these also included for the 79EUR price, or do you have to buy them separately?

Are you saying that 79EUR buys all 12 N4 Packs? I must be reading this wrong. It sounds too good to be true (unless these plugins are not that great).

Hmm, it seems like some of the problems introduced in 2.1.9 have not yet been resolved. https://forum.positivegrid.com/topic/3940/bias-update-version-2-1-9-4900

Does this fix address the following issue? "Since the 2.1.9 release, we've changed the policy on BIAS FX 2's ToneCloud licensing. The accessibility of the presets has been adjusted. From now on, the presets that contain BIAS Amp 2 content will be unavailable to those who do not own the respecting license. This is merely to reinforce the same principle across all additional contents (BIAS Amp 2, BIAS Pedal, Celestion, expansion packs) for BIAS FX 2." https://forum.positivegrid.com/topic/3594/bias-fx-2-this-preset-requires-bias-amp-2?page=1

Sphere is an easy to use and free reverb plugin that can add depth and life to any sound material. The reverb is based on a modified Schroeder reverberator with added predelay and supports stereo channels only. The plugin UI has been created using vector graphics and supports blur free resizing. https://www.sonicbits.com/sphere.html

I just bought the WG2 MkII and can't stop playing it! At first it seemed to have this wierd kind of hollow sound to it, but there's something extremely musical about it. Previously the Embertone Walker Steinway D was my favorite piano to play; but now I have another favorite. What I like about the Walker D is that it's so clean and resonant. The WG2 MkII on the otherhand is very 'colored' and full of character. The difference is like a Taylor (Walker D) vs. a Martin (WG2 MkII). For $20 it's and amazing buy!
