but seriously, it does sound pretty good....

Thanks HS, I will have to demo that also.

Thanks Larry. They seem to have a lot of updates at the moment. At least it's a doddle to update their plugins. Change log..

@Luc I have this but rarely use it now mainly because of the tiny UI. It works and sounds OK and for $10 as abacab says it's a good stocking filler Personally, I would spend a little bit more and get the Cherry Audio 2600 which can be had for $20.99 from Everyplugin. http://everyplugin.com/ca2600.html

Thanks Reid, looks interesting. Have you tried Microtonic from Sonic Charge? https://soniccharge.com/microtonic It's relatively expensive but pretty cool and you can also download and use free rhythm creations from their Patternarium ... https://soniccharge.com/patternarium

Thanks TS! I've been eyeing this up for a while. Will have to try the demo.

This is from their FAQ...https://u-he.com/support/faq.html#licenses:how-many

I like the idea of this but I can imagine this functionality being added to Scaler 2 or similar tools one day. In fact I might suggest it to the dev.

Yes Beatzille is great for free. Bazille does come up on KVR Sell & Buy regularly which is where I bought Diva and Repro in the summer for approx. the current NI sale price.

I already have Diva and Repro and the sound of those is what made me want more U-He. Even their free stuff is quality. There are also heaps of decent U-He and 3rd party preset packs for them. I'm not really interested in their effects so I would be looking at Zebra2/Dark Zebra and maybe Hive 2. Shame there's no Bazille in this deal as I liked the demo.

Good point Tomgu; I'll grab that while I'm at it. Zebra3 has indeed been a long time coming and Zebra2 was only updated in October (v2.9.2) (I have been demoing for a while). They also added NKS support to The Dark Zebra in October and it comes with ZebraHZ (a custom-built version of Zebra2 for Hans Zimmer).

Wow, that's a surprise! Not seen U-He on NI website before. Time to grab Zebra 2 methinks. Cheers Larry

Here's Databroth's take on the new ChorusX feature in Rapid which he shows also makes a great resonator!

Funkmasters and Americana now show "Out of stock" on JRR. The other two are still available. EDIT: Now Reggae is also out of stock.

Good call Larry! Thanks for taking the time to post this Matthew. 157Gb is not so bad and I might be tempted to store on an offline drive but first I should check what's included in last year's bundle and the ones that are free as Larry pointed out.

Loving it so far Peter! Gotta agree with all the positive comments about how great the new amp models sound and even the old ones through the new cabs. The UI is also a superb improvement along with the long awaited ability to only show presets that you own. On reflection I don't actually think it's display lag that I'm seeing so the display card is irrelevant and it's a bit nit-picky so apologies in advance. I think it might just be the order that AT5 highlights and de-highlights previous/current presets, the latter being done after it has finished loading the new preset. If it de-highlighted the old preset as soon as you clicked a new one and then loaded the new one it would just seem to be a lot snappier. For the record I'm pretty sure that my new PC is not an issue as it performs well in everything else and I'm loading the presets from one of the fastest consumer SSDs available (an NVMe M.2 ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro ).

Oh boy! Can I resist? ? I'll wait a bit for someone to convince me that I don't need all of this. As they are 2k/HD video assets I assume they must add up to multiple gigabytes in size.

I bought my Unify from AudioDeluxe and for a while updates would come out sooner for those who purchased direct from PG. However, that was fixed a couple of months back so if you buy from a 3rd party you download updates from ILIO but they appear at the same time as the updates for those who bought direct from PG and there is no difference between the two versions.

I also got Cloud City when it was released and have zero regrets! At this price anyone contemplating should just get it. Also, anyone contemplating Unify would be better off getting the Unify/CC bundle. Also, Cloud City has just been updated (check your account for v 1220) with lots of tweaks. John will be mentioning it on his Saturday Livestream apparently.

Just quickly tried the VST2 in CbB, Studio One 5 Pro and Cantabile and it seems to load and work fine in all of these.

I see thanks Simon.

Yes, mine also always loads the setting screen on the Audio/MIDI panel (all seems to be selected correctly). The speaker change works for me but it probably depends on the cab you have selected? If it's a 4 x 12 then you can move from the top to the bottom speaker and vice versa. I think the orange arrow indicates which one you have selected. I'm not really sure what the lock IR is doing as it turns orange but I don't see anything happen.

Yes, looks great ?

Great synth! Download the update from your account. https://parawave-audio.com/ Also, their Winter sale continues with 40% off Rapid and 30% off the extensions. Change Log Additions: New effect: Chorus X. New effect: Vintagizer. New insert: Sample and Hold. Preset search: Sort by type, name, bank or date.
