Actually, all of NI's libraries don't require full Kontakt. Kontakt Player is sufficient.

The only ones I don’t have are VocalSynth, R4, Nimbus, and bx_console N. This is a good deal for those who are new to plugins. The Jump amp in free Guitar Rig 6 was unusable with the highs being strident but the Chicago amp in GR6LE is one of the new amps that’s pretty good (low gain amp). Usable as a pedal platform. Not sure what else is in GR6LE but just having a decent amp makes it usable since the effects in GR6 were pretty good. Of course, I ended up with GR6 Pro, AmpliTube 5 via GB, and a lot of PA amps before I knew how to make use of effects.

I counted 64 plugins in my account (from 2019). About half of them I got for free (intro, PreSonus, free after the $20 vouchers). The rest were all $10 or $15, with an occasional $25, mostly once a month to pick up a sale item. I don't think I'd spend as much if the minimum was $50.
-
Wow, that's over double of the previous minimum: $32. Going to miss buying plugins for $15.

I discovered that the AmpliTube JH Gold is based on a JTM45. The AmpliTube British Lead S100 (from JH Collection) is the proper super lead model, based on the JTM100, though it doesn't have the two channel bridging like JH Gold has. So, what's the difference between the two? Also, I happen to have the Marshall JTM45 from Softube Bluesbreaker. Anyhow, I threw both the AmpliTube S100 and the Softube JTM45 into my project file. S100 with all at 10 normalized to the same level sounds pretty close to JH Gold (but not as good, without bridging). I had to set the Softube JTM45 presence to 8, otherwise everthing else was at 10. The Softube JTM45 does sound the best, but it's pretty subtle (more complex overtones, that probably would get lost in a mix). With careful EQ, all can be usable for solos. For chunky chords, I would skip BIAS FX. So, now, I know I have a number of options for the Plexi sound: AmpliTube for easy jamming, SE100 for a standalone plugin, or Softube JTM45 in Amp Room (for best quality). If the Softube Super Lead deal comes around again for $20, I'll jump on that, but in the meantime, I'll use the JTM45. Relating back to this thread, if you have the PT100, you can probably dial in similar sounds, but SE100 is an easier interface. Plexi Amps.song

I created a Studio One project with the following plexi amp sims (just the ones I own on the computer): JH Gold (AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix) MiniPlex 20 (AmpliTube 5) '69 Plexiglas v2 (BIAS FX 2 LE) Friedman BE100 (Plugin Alliance/Brainworx) Suhr SE100 (Plugin Alliance/Brainworx ) Suhr PT100 (Plugin Alliance/Brainworx) Plex (Guitar Rig 6 Pro) Marshell (sic) Plexi (Audio Assault ReAmp Studio) I bypassed all the onboard cabs and used an OwnHammer IR (4x12 Marshall BW) in Open Air as well as the default cab in Ampire. I put a room reverb at the end. Note that I've never played a real Marshall "Plexi" amp so I'm just guessing what it's supposed to sound like and be set. I just dimed the JH Gold across the board and used that as the reference. With JH Gold as a reference, used Tone Generator to create pink noise, and looking at Spectrum Meter, set all the tone controls to match as best I could (and checked with my ears), level matched the outputs, so you can just click between the different channels and listen to the difference between the amp sims. I don't have the Softube Plexi--that would've been the ideal reference. Here are the amp settings: JH Gold - all at 10 MiniPlex - all at 10 except for highs at 4 Plexiglas - all at 10 except for highs and presence at 0 BE100 - presence: 3, treble: 6.5, rest at max (I'm still not quite satisfied with this one) SE100 - presence: 6, bass: 4, middle: 10, treble: 9, level: 10, gain:6, depth: 9 PT100 - gain2: 10, bass: 10, middle: 4, treble: 3.5, presence: 3 Plex - all at 10 Marshell Plexi - gain: 10, bass: 3.9, mid: 4.4, treble: 0.2, presence: 0.6, depth: 10, volume: 10 If you have Studio One 5 Artist, you should be able to load up the attached project and do your own comparisons (if you don't have S1 Pro, Open Air will not be accessible, but you can replace with your own IR loader, or just use the Ampire Marshall 4x12 cab). It is important to level match so that the perceived volume is the same--adjusted each Channel Strip gain so the VU Meter after the cab is at the same level. For most of the amps, I maxed out the gain and master levels, but I can tell from the background noise level that there's different levels of amplification so an apples to apples comparison would normalize the amount of amplification as well. I was surprised by the GR6 Plex--it sounded very close to JH Gold. The SE100 sounded the best of this list (provided more lows). The PT100 can be made to sound pretty close. I'd be satisfied with the AmpliTube and GR6 amps. I couldn't quite dial in the BE100 to my satisfaction. The BIAS FX 2 Plexiglas is missing the lows, sounding the thinnest. Aside from JH Gold and GR6 Plex (dimed across the board), the rest of the amp settings were highly variable. I could probably live with any of these except for BIAS FX. Anyhow, let me know your thoughts. If you have better amp settings (especially for the BE100), please let me know. If you have other amp sims, test them out and share your findings. Plexi Amps.song

Exponential Audio products aren't listed above, and won't get updated, but some of the plugins may still work under Rosetta (prompted by reading on another forum that Nimbus now works in Monterey when it didn’t before). I just tried with Excalibur and PhoenixVerb and they both came up in Studio One under Rosetta. Running native, Studio One only shows PhoenixVerb AU. Both were updated January, 2020. So, just test what you have ... you may be pleasantly surprised. I'm running Big Sur, BTW.

Is there a SE100 preset that provides an example of it's "plexiness"? Same with the BE100. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to dial in the power amp distortion vs. the pre-amp distortion. I just know about diming all the controls which works with JH Gold and Mrh159. An interesting thing is that Suhr no longer sells the SE100. Seems the Suhr SL series is the replacement: https://www.suhr.com/electronics/amplifiers/suhr-sl/ ... it's closer to the original Marshall SL100 controls. Do you have a sense that all the Nembrini and Brainworx amp sims are of similar quality or are the newer Nembrini sims better? I also came across this: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/amp-fight-can-the-suhr-pt15ir-sound-like-a-100w-plexi-sl68.2094074/ ... so I assume the Suhr PT100 (big brother of the PT15) would also be able to get the plexi tones.

I’m glad you got it working. Software Pass looks like a front end for interfacing with the new korg.com site. When it breaks, go to the source. It’s strange that it only downloads and doesn’t run the installer. Definitely a good deal for those who upgraded from M1 Le.
-
Right you are. https://support.izotope.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407777831699-iZotope-Compatibility-with-Apple-silicon Neoverb is on the list. None of the other reverbs are listed.
-
+1 A suggestion I have that would make ToneNET even more useful would be to add specific gear to the search criteria, so I can filter on presets that use a particular pedal, amp, cab, or rack module.
-
Hooray. More Apple Silicon support. Now, waiting for Nectar 3. I have RX 7 which obviously won't get updated (current version is RX 9).
-
Sound pretty frustrating. It wasn't until I ran the KORG Software Pass Installer that I was able to register (and then install) my products. But I understand your situation that fixing it may not provide much benefit if what you have already works (assuming Windows).
-
I bought two from GameStop and received two black ones, for which I’m actually glad, since black matches all my hardware better.

Did you start on the korguser.net site? It's a confusing process that takes you across three different sites. I started here: https://www.korguser.net/asp/upgrade.asp How did it not work? I'm sure we can help you spend your money, but only if you want to.
-
Since it doesn't show any products in your korg.com account, I'm inclined to think that the migration wasn't completed by purchasing the products on korg.shop with the coupon codes. Hopefully, you'll be able to update to the latest versions of the synths you bought. It was a bit confusing for me after I purchased the upgrade that it didn't show up in korg.com account but I had to still register the license codes (and it showed up in my account after that).

Picked up the Suhr SE100 in the 2 for $49 deal (- $25 monthly voucher). The controls are different from the Friedman BE100, which at 50% gain has a lot more bass. I guess each amp has a different and unique voicing. There’s enough overlap with other amps I have that this doesn’t fill any real gaps but I’m an amp addict.

Got KORG Collection 3 upgrade from M1 Le for $149. This was a big buy for me. That's the equivalent of five $30 purchases. Or ten $15 PA purchases. My other big purchase in the past was Komplete 13 upgrade for $200 (though other software also add up if I include the original + upgrade costs). BTW, I noticed that the TRITON Extreme VST3 doesn't show up in Studio One in Apple Silicon native mode. All the rest do.
-
Picked up Big Al and Suhr SE100 for $25. Thanks for the ideas.

I found a FAQ for those with the KORG Legacy Collection: https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/articles/115005850843-How-do-I-migrate-my-KORG-Legacy-Collection-plugins-from-korguser-net-to-korg-shop- It involves korguser.net, id.korg.com, and korg.shop, a not entirely obvious process.
