Does anybody know how (or if)  is it possible to download tone model via public url link from standalone or VST ToneX app?
https://www.tone.net/tonex/tonemodels/17886

I don't think it's possible. You just have to use the search box in the app/VST and then download.

It's pretty annoying how clunky it is to browse in the app/VST.

Repairing worked for me. But the app still keeps reinstalling the same update.

there is a 'known' bug where you have to download labs products twice in the Spitfire app - closing the app in between ?

You don't have to redownload the whole library if you repair it. Only about 100 MB.

Again, I had to repair the library after installing it because it showed up as not installed.

And now the Spitfire app keeps installing the same update every time I run it.

ALEATORIC BRASS ORCHESTRA $40

• Un-cage Aleatoric Brass
• 92 Programs / 198 Part
• 9.7K Real-Time Samples™ / 11.58GB
• Soundpaint™ Engine (Free)
• VST, AU and Standalone 
• Delivered by Download

Chaos. Power. Expression. Aggression.

Some time ago, we set out to record the largest collection of orchestral effects possible, one so comprehensive that it would never need to be recorded again. Several years and multiple iterations later, the Aleatoric Orchestra has executed that vision better than ever, thanks to Soundpaint.

Split into 3 ensembles (Horns, Trumpets, and Trombones), the Aleatoric Brass Orchestra includes the most aggressive effects, from epic rips to falling marcato, crushing dissonance to eerie bends, and all manner of chaotic textures. The Aleatoric Brass Orchestra (a.k.a. CAGE) has just about any effect you can imagine. And in Soundpaint, these effects can be stacked, morphed, and pushed beyond the limits of reality, creating the ultimate collection of chaos.

If that wasn’t enough, along with the thousands of aleatoric orchestral effects, the Aleatoric Brass Orchestra also uniquely includes more “normal” multisampled articulations: staccatissimo, stopped marcato, burning marcato, powerful crescendos and sustains, arcs, and more. These are surprisingly versatile for a library conceptualized as aleatoric, allowing for sweeping melodic lines, beautiful and expressive chords (try combining the arcs with the TIME module), or more organized chaos.

Working with aleatoricism is less of an intellectual exercise and more about feeling it. It is musically provocative. Unearth subterranean sounds by playing below the range of the orchestra. Slow down and freeze the effects in time to uncover new sonic gems. Be seduced by the samples and un-cage the aleatoric brass!

New to all things IK-M.

Does one earn JamPoints only when purchasing directly from IK-M?

Or, can one purchase TS3.5M from a TPR, and when registering with IK-M, also receive JamPoints?

TS3.5M would earn approx how many JamPoints?

Thanks in advance,

Every time you purchase/register a qualifying IK product, you get JamPoints™ calculated as a percentage of the product's suggested retail price. This percentage varies between full, crossgrade, upgrade, bundles, etc. You can redeem your JamPoints™ at any time while shopping in the IK Store or the Custom Shop. A maximum of 30% of the product value can be paid by JamPoints™.

You do get JamPoints even when you register a product bought from another seller. You get JamPoints usually worth something like 5-10% of the retail price.

I can't get revalver4 to work in cakewalk, I gave it the path but cakewalk doesn't detect revalver as a vst plugin, or I can't find it among the effects (beginner...) revalver works flawlessly on its own, I activated the producer pack everything is ok. my concern is with cakewalk.

Looks like the VST is installed to the "C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins" folder.

You have to add that folder to Cakewalk's VST Scan Paths in VST settings.
