  1. Thanks for the recommendation (and fun fact). I use them for many things but mostly the photo app for editing photos.
  2. I am on v1 of all the desktop apps but have held off updating until now. The Universal upgrade price for v2 (includes the creative collection) is currently £59.99 (inc VAT) in the UK. I am tempted.... What about the add-ons? The 3D Letter Toolkit looks good, but can anyone recommend anything else?
  3. I did the same - never bothered before as I thought the upgrade wasn't worth the price, but half price convinced me - mostly for the scalable UI!
  4. Was wondering about their other plugins. Thanks mibby, I will have a look at those.
  5. Cool arpeggiator. Use code SUPERBOOTH24 to reduce the regular price of $39 to around $29 (it was $29.36 for me). It's algorithmic, but it also has LFOs, MSEG and XY pads that can be assigned to the controls, plus a built in simple FM synth. There's also a free demo here (click on Try The Demo Tab) --> https://www.bleass.com/product/bleass-arpeggiator/ N.B. If you purchase after installing the demo, no need to re-install, just activate the demo with the serial they email to you.
  6. Release Notes from here: https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/4823/official-update-status-native-access?utm_source=native-access-2&utm_medium=in-product&utm_campaign=release-notes 3.11.0 May 16, 2024. Contains NTK Daemon 1.18.0 Many users may have learned, whether in-app or through outlets, that we’re launching a revamped subscription intitiative. This has caused some unintended behaviors in Native Access as we made the migration, and thus this release aims to patch those issues. This release does not fix known issues to do with excessive loading times on Loading Products that some users have been facing. We’re working on a fix and ramping up efforts to stabilize the product. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. FIXED Addressed multiple subscription cancellation issues, where products would not enter the proper state/flavor following the cancellation of a subscription offering Addressed an issue where Cancelled Products would enter the Recently Added section for users with previously cancelled subscriptions Fixed a bug where product filters were no longer clickable following a filter down to a search query where no products appeared in a user’s library Fixed a bug where the download drawer does not close when changing pages in-app Addressed an issue where too many products were appearing behind the Legacy Toggle IMPROVED Increased the timeout window for downloads to stop Improved handling of subscription activations Brands are now sorted alphabetically in the subcategories, no longer being case sensitive in the ordering KNOWN ISSUES Loading Products… sometimes hangs for users for an indefinite amount of time. Kontakt-dependent products sometimes erroneously ask you to install a Kontakt version that you already have installed/older version of Kontakt that should not need to install In rare conditions, some products would remain in the Deployment Queue as “Enqueued”
  7. Also Bitwig Studio 5 Producer Upgrade from 8-Track for $85 seems like a good deal. https://www.jrrshop.com/bitwig-studio-producer-upgrade-from-8-track Gets you one step closer to the full Studio version for a reasonable cost.
  8. For anyone who was unable to get the voucher code from Loopcloud working on PluginBoutique, it is now working. Axxess sounds greeeeeat! P.S. @Wibbles you can scale the UI using the triangular button on the bottom right of the front panel.
  9. Glad you found it useful Grem ?? It was someone on the old CW forum who originally suggested it to me, and I still use it to this day as a quick and dirty alternative to BIAB. You can do a surprising amount with it. These videos are worth a look if you want an initial look and then to dig deeper. The same guy also does some JJazzLab (ALC's suggestion) reviews on his channel which is worth mentioning again as it can make use of the huge number of Yamaha style files and even has some built-in.
  10. Chordpulse is another one. Simple, quick and easy. Free 14 day trial but also cheap to buy the full version. https://www.chordpulse.com/
  11. What John suggests will work, but what I used to do when I was doing this a lot was: 1. Right Click on the vocal track and select "Insert Send --> New Aux Track" 2. On the new Aux Track you can now record the output of the vocal track. You can adjust the volume and pan of each harmony within the AHS plugin and create different Aux track mixes of the harmonies. I also used to use Chord via Midi in AHE and adjust the register and spread to create multiple harmony Aux tracks with different register/spread. Once you have recorded your Aux track you can just disable the AHE plugin on the vocal track and I would typically record other takes for doubling of the main track. I would sometimes also use the double tracks to create slightly different AHE harmony tracks to thicken up the harmonies.
  12. Okay so follow these steps... 1. On Track 1 (the Mic Track), record your solo vocals if they aren't already recorded. 2. Insert Antares Harmony Engine (AHE) in the FX block of Track 1. 3, Open AHE (click on it), select the VST3 menu at the top and select "Enable MIDI input". 4. Also in AHE, on the Harmony Control menu select MIDI Omni. 5. On your MIDI track with the harmony make sure the output is set to Harmony Engine1 Now when you playback the song you should hear your vocal with the three part harmony singing along with it.

    Abacab

    Hmmm... His last post on KVR was also 9th May. Wherefore art thou Abe?
  14. Thought I'd seen something similar before; that was it thanks!
  15. Yes, I think that's correct as I have 9 expansions and all of them had 2/3 Mb updates (MIDI packs). I expect we'll also see the separate MIDI packs updated. Good to know that they are putting in the effort to keep existing purchases working on the new system.
  16. All of my EzKeys Expansions had updates to them this morning (maybe in preparation for the EzKeys 2 launch on 16 May?). Run ToonTrack Product Manager to update.
  17. For anyone who doesn't yet have Solaria or Asterian you can get 30% off them at the moment, bringing either one down to $63. No idea how long this is for but the code is : ESBNAMM2023 https://www.eclipsedsounds.com/
  18. This demo using Jun was posted over on VI: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/synthesizer-v-vocaloid-haters-might-want-to-check-this.115973/post-5327647 He has also posted a few demos using all of the seven vocal modes: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/synthesizer-v-vocaloid-haters-might-want-to-check-this.115973/post-5327698 Also worth checking out his Bass Range test and the intro of Bohemian Rhapsody (using Kevin, Jun and Asterian): https://vi-control.net/community/threads/synthesizer-v-vocaloid-haters-might-want-to-check-this.115973/post-5327704

  20. I've been waiting for the longest time for a worthy Solaria follow-up from Eclipsed sounds, and this might just be it! Need to hear a few more demos to decide but keeping everything crossed ?? Thanks for the heads-up!
  21. UPDATE V2.1.0 Released - New Features ! We've added a bunch of new features in this latest free update to make Melody Sauce 2 even more user friendly. This update should be available for you to download from the “Downloads” tab in your account. Log in to your account at https://accounts.evabeat.com/ See below for a list of new features: • DAW MIDI mode: Play sounds via incoming midi There are now 3 general modes to select from: CREATE mode: this is Melody Sauce’s current standard operation - create melodies or play the melodies you have created inside the plugin. Melodies will play via the internal midi-generation engine using the plugin’s sounds. DAW MIDI mode: this new mode allows Melody Sauce 2 to play incoming midi from your DAW, so any midi placed on the same track as Melody Sauce 2 will be played by the plugin’s sounds. This means you can drag midi melodies from the plugin to your DAW and Melody Sauce 2 will play these directly from the DAW. This also allows you to use Melody Sauce 2’s instruments like a regular virtual software synth via your own midi or a midi keyboard. MIDI OUT mode: select this mode to route the midi to other software instruments. • Play melodies inside the plugin You can now play melodies inside Melody Sauce 2 without having to play your DAW using a new internal playback engine. Control internal playback of any melody in the Melody Bank via its start-stop icon. • VST3 format Melody Sauce 2 can now be loaded as a VST3 plugin from your VST3 plugins folder. This provides lower CPU usage and adds full compatibility with Cubase on the latest Mac computers. • “Export Favourites” option in settings menu to bulk-export midi files from the Favourites bank. • Logic Midi FX: improved stability on M1/M2 Macs Improves performance and stability of Midi FX in Logic on M1/M2 Macs (Silicon processors). • Multiple bug fixes for various issues across different DAWs (installation, serial activation, sound issues, timing, looping, UI and font issues, and general performance and stability enhancements). • Windows version is now 64-bit only. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS • Download the Win or Mac installer from the “Downloads” area of you account at accounts.evabeat.com. • We recommend quitting your DAW first before you starting installation. • Run the Win or Mac installer file. • Open your DAW - depending on the DAW you may need to rescan your plugins via your DAW's plugin manager tool (see our Support Guides for further help). • Load the plugin in your DAW as a VST3 (or as an AU or AU Midi FX in Logic) • You may be required to re-enter your Melody Sauce 2 serial number. NB: Upgraded Already? If you’ve already upgraded, your Melody Sauce 2 Upgrade serial becomes your only serial, and you only need to enter this serial into the plugin's first licensing window - do not click on the "Upgrade" button. For any account or installation problems, please open a support ticket via the Help bubble on our site www.evabeat.com/support. The EVAbeat Team
  22. UPDATE (ignore what I said earlier if you happen to have read that @Fleer? I got it working in Cakewalk - I misread what the PDF manual said, so my fault. Anyway, all you do is load LoopEngine once and then load as many Listeners as you have tracks with separate MIDI. Then you set each listener to a different channel by clicking on the relevant button in the plugin. Then you load up your instruments (I tried Minimonsta2 and Twin 3 this time) and change their input to be from whichever Listener you want to drive that instrument. Pretty easy. I will also try it on other DAWs and post here if there are any problems.
