Thanks for the information. My Cubase license is now shown as "Transfer pending" in my e-licenser. Will try again tomorrow and then raise a support ticket if no joy ?

I was trying to move Halion to the new PC and I had quite a lot of back and forth with their support to do something which should be simple. In the end Steinberg support had to create a new soft e-licenser which then let me install Halion on the new PC. My issue with the hardware dongle is that it is very restrictive for transferring licenses so I will effectively have to sell Cubase with my USB e-licenser which means physically posting something losable rather than via a quick e-transfer.

I bought the upgrade in July and received an activation code (8 groups of 4 alphanumeric digits) rather than a download code. As it is on my old PC the e-licenser and download assistant software were outdated so I have updated them but it still fails to connect. I suspect that my e-licenser database is out of date but it cannot connect to synchronise ? To be honest I can't wait to get rid of this Cubase/E-licenser nonsense. It was also a hassle moving my Halion 6 (soft e-licenser) to my new PC.

Yup I was out earlier or I would have done it then. Just wondering whether I can enter the code on the Steinberg website instead of the e-licenser software? Otherwise I'll just leave it until tomorrow!

Guess their servers are busy at the moment ?

Thanks for confirming Larry. Was waiting to register mine until I heard from Steinberg that the V11 was out. I will go ahead now.

Hey Mesh, yeah it's a lot of fun! You can start with one patch and keep adding layers to build up an immense creation. I find it an excellent way to stimulate song ideas by just noodling around with a patch, such as this idea I made using one of the new Wavesequencing patches... Unify_Me_Mixdown.mp3

Must have posted at the same time as simon I am at my PC and it is showing as 11Gb on my system using explorer properties (11.1Gb using Treesize Free).

It was very straightforward Starise. You might as well get the latest version 1.2.2 (you should have just received an email with links). - Download the update zip and unzip it to a folder. - Run the updater in the folder you created above, follow the prompts etc - Run Unify and drag and drop the .guru file from the folder you create above onto the Unify UI. It should rebuild the database and you should be able to search and find all of the new 1.2 patches (e.g. Arrival - 0 "Welcome to Unify, The Future is Here My friends" - vocoder patch ).

There's still only one version of Unify plus a demo version. There was talk of a Pro version, in fact it was mentioned in the last livestream but it sounded like a Pro version might be a very long way off as they keep adding new functionality to the standard version ? In fact I got the impression that John seemed less bothered about doing a Pro version but I might be wrong. There was also talk a while back of a paid upgrade for multiple outputs but that seems to have gone quiet lately.

Same here! Seriously great value. I picked up Repro 1 & 5, Diva 1 & 2, Omnisphere and the Dune 3 packs - 6 packs for £48 or around £8 per pack. Noice ?

Where do I apply?

Cheers Larry! Some great prices there on some expansions I was waiting for.

I decided against upgrading in the end as I wanted to put the money to other things (e.g. Omnisphere). There's also not enough in it for me and I picked up a 1 year Groove 3 sub on KVR for a great price.

Thanks Matthew, I have added that information to my post.

Yes it is! ?

Sad but true. I have updated the first post. In the UK we see these eBay deals quite a bit, although it is often limited to certain suppliers and I probably wouldn't have spotted the Music Matter deal if it hadn't been for the post on VI Control. Is that not the case in the USA?

I have just got Omnisphere so I am slightly overwhelmed at the moment with Unify 1.2 and Omnisphere! So much to explore. They also integrate so nicely. John mentioned you in the livestream last night around 44 minutes and there's another one tonight. Thanks again for your brilliant showcases ?

Thanks Fleer! I have had my eye on it for a long time. I had to really breathe deeply to stop myself getting the Falcon deal a couple of weeks ago. So far I am finding it absolutely outstanding. I can definitely see why people say what they do about it and why Spectrasonics never put it on sale.

Yes I saw that Antler and despite having £20 of t&s loyalty points decided that I would rather pay less and choose my own expansion libraries (mainly PlugInGuru ones so far).

UPDATE 14/11: The 20% off code is now live ( PURCHASE20 ) but they have no stock as predicted. Keep watching for stock update though if you are in the UK as the code is valid up to 19th November. I saw this deal over on VI Control so thought I would share it here for those who can make use of it. Ordered mine on Thursday and it arrived yesterday (BF budget blown but I have been wanting Omnisphere for ages). This is the boxed version with a USB drive to speed up the 60Gb installation. It's from a reputable UK company (Music Matter). Omnisphere is basically never on sale but the saving here is thanks to an eBay code (POPUPNOV15) which is valid until 11th November. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spectrasonics-Omnisphere-2-Boxed-USB-Drive-Synth-Synthesizer-Plugin-Software/114080461535 Regular price is £339 but with this saving it is £288.15 including EU shipping. Note that this item does not ship to the USA but anyone in the US can use Guitar Center and/or Musician Friend 15% coupons to get a discount on Omnisphere. NOTE: This deal is a repeat of previous months and in those months they also had a 20% off code later in the month taking the price to ~ £271 but it sold out quickly so I decided not to wait to save a further £17 but ymmv.

Lol, hey I should be on commission from PluginGuru ? ...and if you need further convincing about Unify, have a look at this amazing post from Simeon.

Same as me. Oh well it's not a biggy but, you know how it is, I have OCD about loose ends ??

Thanks Mesh. Did you uninstall the previous version or just install the new one over the top of the old one? Maybe I'll just uninstall and re-install to get it back to how it should be. Then again it all seems to be working fine. ?
