Enjoying the new features Richard. One issue I have so far is that none of my DAWs have picked up the VST2 versions which are located in C:\VST64\Orb Producer Suite This is on the plugin scan path of all my DAWs (Cakewalk by Bandlab, Studio One 5 Pro, Reason Intro, Cantabile).

Thanks Richard! Downloading it now.

Great idea @Piotr and one that I will support via an email to Waves! When they first brought out v11 I carefully followed their procedure to upgrade the plugins that would allow it and I was amazed that it worked and all of my v9, v10 and v11 plugins happily co-existed. However, I was well aware of the problems that others had experienced and knew that I was probably just lucky. Well that was on the old PC!!! Read on... On my new PC (in July 2020) I wanted to keep everything neat and tidy so created VST64 and VST32 folders (for any plugins that insisted on installing 32 bit versions). I deliberately held off installing Waves plugins until much later in the migration process knowing that they have their own ideas about where they are going to install. Initially I installed v10 and v11 plugins as these did not require an offline installer. That all went well so I did a backup and next tried installing the v9 plugins using the offline installer. End result....ALL OF MY WAVES PLUGINS WERE TRASHED!! Literally none of the Waves plugins worked any more - they would scan but not load or some other errors or issues. I was very pleased that I took a backup before doing the v9 install which I quickly restored. Looking for a quick solution (I still haven't heard back from Waves when I raised a support ticket) I decided to WUP the v9 plugins that I still use and have used on a great many projects. That worked and I was then able to install the missing plugins which all worked fine. I appreciate that v9 plugins are out of their support period but I didn't expect them to break all of my other Waves plugins!! I have plenty of other old plugins that still work and don't break anything when I install them. The cynic in me can't help but think that it is some kind of ploy by Waves to get people to WUP their plugins so that they can extract as much money as possible from their customers. So you think that plugin you just bought was a bargain at $29...think again as it will cost you more in the long run. I also hate the use of multiple Waveshells which causes unnecessary scanning every time I run my DAW(s) - I have it set to manual scan in CbB and disabled in Studio One purely because of Waveshell. I'm also not happy with Waves Central and plugin managers in general as it makes it impossible to use tools like Revo Uninstaller to back out of bad installations.

I decided to do the v12 update as my Gold + Rennmax runs out of WUP on 31st October and I have just wup'd everything else that I use on a regular basis. It all went smoothly and fortunately it didn't try to re-download all of the HD samples (36.5 Gb) for the Inspire Instrument bundle.

Some great stuff there, thanks kevin!

I have just started out on my quest for Repro sound sets abacab, with more than a little help from @lawajava. I just picked up AZS Prometheus for Repro 1 which is great! Luftrum is also high on the list not to mention U-He's own offerings, Pluginguru Powerpack , The Unfinished, SynthMob New Loops. Plenty to get stuck into! I haven't got any add-ons for Pigments 2 or Iris 2 but I will certainly give those Luftrum ones a look, thanks. I'm also looking for good deals on VPS Avenger expansions which tend to be expensive so finding good deals is a must. Another recent purchase is Parawave Rapid which sounds amazing and definitely one to demo if you haven't already.

Very nice for a freebie. I'm really getting into U-He stuff. Picked up Repro recently which is gorgeous. Also have Diva in my sights. Will be interested to see what Zebra 3 has to offer when it's out.

Looks interesting as a cheap alternative to Gullfoss....

Sounds pretty nice. https://www.rondegusmaolobo.com/product-page/thumb-jazz-guitar

Nice one, thanks Larry!

I like the ones I have and usually add a couple more whenever there's a sale. Just deciding what to go for next.

Have you got a link mibby? I had a quick look at their webpage and couldn't find any others.

Note: Outer Limits requires the Soundtoys Effect Rack (version 5.2 or later), which is exclusively included in Soundtoys 5. Outer Limits is a FREE collection of 67 presets designed to turn any audio into strange and frightening sounds, spacey sci-fi soundscapes, and mutated audio oddities. This preset expander uses the virtually limitless power of the Soundtoys Effect Rack to take sound design to alternate realities. Perfect for movies, TV, games, or that far out song intro you’ve been searching for. https://www.soundtoys.com/outer-limits/ https://www.youtube.com/embed/YmzGFHHGINk

Yes, I only happened to notice it by chance and agree the changes report is a bit lacking in detail especially as it has been so long since the last update. In fairness though it has been stable. I think you could also be right about it being in preparation for the release on 29th.

Released 6th October 2020. AXE I/O Control Panel software updated to v1.2 and Firmware updated to v1.05 Download from your account --> https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/my-products/ Update the Control Panel software then it will prompt to update the firmware from there. Release Notes Changes from version 1.1.0: Bug fix

No problems Richard Thanks for making it a free update for existing owners. ?

Thanks for the reminder Fleer, nearly forgot! As Amplitube 5 isn't allowed (nice idea though it's gonna have to be Clavitube.

I bought Geoshred on a deal when it was first launched and there have been other sales since then but they now have other Geoshred products in their line-up and I haven't been following their sales patterns lately. Still that SWAM All-in-bundle for desktop makes the iPad one seem like a bargain albeit for fewer libraries! I might be tempted by a couple of the desktop versions though if they have any decent BF sales.

Good spot. Thanks @Matthew Sorrels

Good point! Fingers crossed!

Update Notes: - Added the Harmonizer - Added a MIDI Editor - Added Velocities Panel - Added a new Velocity panel to generate velocity maps in one click - Full VST compatibility - Added lots of visual effects (keyboard notes, current chords) - Density = 0 now means there will be only full bar duration notes - Added inversion for chords (changes the bass) - Creating a new theme keeps the last main music parameters (tonality, time signature, number of bars) - Added the ability to rename themes - Bug fixes

Yup they sound great and hopefully won't take up too much storage as they are modelled sounds. Cheaper to get all 6 instruments but I might wait for a BF/Christmas deal.

Ditto Fleer! Nice update and great idea! Didn't see that one coming.

Not yet Zo, but it is supposed to be not far away. The sale is now over anyway, but I expect there will be BF/Christmas deals soon (and maybe it will be updated then).
