Unfortunately, you can't use Jampoints and the NAMMSLAM2025, code only one or the other.

@MrFigg You have to hunt around a bit to find out more details on the Explorations bundles. On the Store Webpage you find this: So each bundle comes with 3 of the 9 Explorations packs, and between the description and the picture you can work out which packs come with which bundle. Each exploration pack is 150 presets so each bundle is 450 presets and the bundles are reduced from 89.97 to 19.99 Euros which is pretty good value if the presets included float your boat! You can try out some of the presets from individual Explorations packs from the Store window inside Pigments, although I haven't found a way to bring up the Explorations Bundles in the built-in store window, so I guess you have to buy these on the website.... Since you don't own Pigments, you can also try these out from the Analog Lab Store (if you have that). Alternatively, I have found a few demos of Explorations packs on Youtube; just search Youtube with "Pigments Explorations". Here's an example of one...

I wondered whether this included any version of Mocha as it's the cheapest version of Vegas 21. I have now installed it but not sure how to identify any Mocha plugins. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks @aidan o driscoll for the suggestion. Sounds like a good idea to separate instruments and effects, as I'm unlikely to use any instruments in Vegas or any other NLE. The problem was that I couldn't start the program to change VST paths etc as it was just stuck on VB-ROYAL during the startup scan. I have now managed to get it to start by deleting VB-ROYAL plugins (and restoring them afterwards). It turned out to be the VST3 version that was causing problems.

Anyone manage to get Vegas 21 to scan or preferably skip scanning UJAM plugins? I have noticed that other DAWs often hang on scanning UJAM stuff, especially VB-ROYAL, so it's more likely a UJAM issue. Then again, other DAWs either skip/timeout the plugin or allow a way to avoid scanning on startup - not so with Vegas it seems. I have re-installed VB-ROYAL numerous times btw and also checked for duplicate/old versions of it. Thanks P.S. I have tried adding /NOVSTGROVEL to the Vegas 21 target after the quotes in the shortcut and also starting it while holding CTRL & SHIFT. It still scans VSTs on startup and gets stuck at VB-ROYAL. Reminds me why I went over to DaVinci Resolve many years ago!

Ditto 👍🏻

Their Office licenses also look very cheap, thanks. I'm thinking of dropping 365 in favour of a cheap persistent license.

@Fleer I went with Split Personality in the end. Nice collection of splits. Cheers for the recommendation matey 👍🏻 🍻

Cheers @Fleer I'll have a look at those three Chromaphone ones and Funk Essence as I don't have any of them. 👍🏻
