telecode 101

i tried to test the sennheinser drum kit. it only downloads a zip file with bunch of data folders. i tried adding it to Kontakt library and rescanning and no go. anyone know how to get it to load in Kontakt? i tried mapping /users/shared/drummic and well as /users/shared/drummic/data . no luck so far.

You can't really predict much from corporate mumbo jumbo. There was a rumble that NI may build upon Maschine to make it DAW like and am I def sure they have a new Guitar Rig in the project map. I was part of beta survey. Not sure about other stuff. What might be in K13? - noire - straylight - modular icons and or some of their lame play series. not really enough to entire upgrade IMO. the rest of the stuff is just too new. but who knows. anything is possible.

i was thinking more of a case where someone is getting the full versions. i can't see a good reason to get the SE. its only 25% less but has a lot less instruments in each.

yeah. you are probably right. as a IKM customer. I think where this deal gets interesting is for people that don't really want sampletank or syntronik because they know they won't use all of it and have a good idea of what they will need. if it hits a 4 for 1 or 5 for 1, using it for individual items would be a real good thing to look into. for for example: at the $79 level: - hugh padhham drums - clavitube and then some Syntronik items that you know you will use. You don't blow away hard disk space with stuff you may rarely access and you get only what you want.

If you are lucky this might hit 3 for 1. Looking at MODO series, you are looking at roughly $200 for 4 products -- so $50 each. It adds up to around 75% off sale based on the condition that you buy 4 items. If I recall, Syntronik and Sampletank were offered on quite steep discounted sales quite a few times this past year.

Yeah. The every mysterious updates by the IKM developers. "General reliability improvements + whatever the latest product they released" We suspect the updates are to insert the demo of the latest product they are trying to sell.

and the dumb question of the day from me is, do you get hugh padgham midi type patters n MODO Drum?

Yup. this would be good. But I guess it would require expanding to Tracks 5 product lines. I am looking at Modo*.* as I like to micro tinker with drums and bass a lot.

FWIW.. I am looking at the Halion upgrade. In my workflow I use the Halion SE plugin and it's piano for the chord track in Cubase exclusively. I find it uses less resources and integrates great. I am looking through the YT videos at what the full version can give you compared to the SE.

I agree with this! ^^ Once it hits 5 for 1, it will be a decent deal. The only problem with this deal is all these products are going to take up a shit load of disk space. The MODO's plus syntronic plus sampletank I am calculating to be at least 250 to 300gb. Maybe more.

Thanks. I got used to the Abbey Roads kits and the mixer and being able to separate different drums to different midi channels. I never tried SS Drums but always heard good things about it.

how does this compare to NI Abbey Road or Drumlab?

yup!! same here. good for me thats my DAW

Analog Lab also updated. A few extra items fixed there. First notes are no longer missed when starting the DAW playback No more CPU overload when opening Cubase projects Program changes are no longer crashing Live when rendering audio Opening a standalone no longer resets the sample rate to 44,1Khz Preset name is now properly displayed when browsing presets from KeyLabs Audio Unit state is now properly recalled when reopening a project Undo/Redo function is now working properly with all controls No more presets missing in Analog Lab Lite When assigned to the OB-XA effects, smart controls are no longer muting the concerned effect slot. No more audio blasts when loading "Bouncin Ball" preset VST3 automations are now working properly in FL Studio

you can get analog lab with the hardware i believe. the midi controllers comes with analog lab.

how do you have Analog Lab if you don't have an account? You need the Arturia account and their software center to install updates and what not. Just create the account and enter your serial. I think waiting until BF should be worth it. I dont recall what the deal was for Analog Lab owners. But I do recall it was $99 to upgrade from vers 4 onwards.

i picked it up. it says "RX 7 Elements (lite)". Not sure if there is any different between regular elements. Stiil it was cheap.

I was looking at the delays. i am a guitar guy so like to use them. will need to demo.

i might bite the FX. i missed the intro deal when they had the FX on sale. Can someone confirm, it was $299 for all the FX last time, right?

i am still on V6. Had no interest in CZ or Synthi. I am sure OBx will be in the next deal. I still think its not really enough to justify an upgrade. I think mabe if they do some really cool and advanced things with a new ver of Analog Lab, then we are talking. Mayby if they some some combined sale of synths and effect, then that could also be interesting. But just to get 3 or 4 more retro synths -- not enough IMO.

the last one was OBx. i think i might wait a bit until v8 to upgrade. I don't think there is enough in there to warrant an upgrade yet. The sale for individual items is up on PB.

yeah. v collection upgrade is on sale for $299. effects not seeing them on sale.

also, for the uber Arturia/Star Trek fans out there..(not a deal i presume) you can now get the sound explorers collectors edition.. oohhh https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/sound-explorers-collection/overview

that thing almost made me go out and buy a MPC Live and dump Maschine. it was damn good and easy to use. need to find time to try this new version.
