It's 23:10 here in the UK and nothing in my account yet. Any luck with yours? I guess I will sleep on it and look again in the morning ?

What he said ^^^ An insurance policy (or another way they can squeeze more money out of you). https://www.ilok.com/#!zdt-coverage

Not long to wait now! I'm looking forward to NOIRE but I'm also curious to see what they did with Guitar Rig 6. My only question is which time zone are they using to determine when it's 1 minute after midnight is on 1st October?

Yes jesse - 19041.508 is the OS build of Windows 10 Pro 2004. Look in System - About.

Zo - Analog Dreams v2.0.2 now available in NA - seems OK here now.

Yes that is another way of looking at it. I don't mind iLok as such and still have quite a few bits that use software iLok, it's more about the USB dongle and the fact that you have to buy one of theirs at a high price rather than being able to use a generic USB key. That's also not the end of the expense as you should really have a spare and then there's the ZDT sub.

Just to confirm same issue here @Zo and @treesha only in Analog Dreams, other two are fine. I'm on latest Win 10 (19041.508) and my Kontakt is version 6.4.2 (R93) - didn't see any update for it.

A combination of things, it's mainly about rationalisation. - Reviewing what I use and don't use and only installing the stuff I use. Like a lot of people here I probably have a lot of duplication thanks to years of GAS. If two plugins do roughly the same and one uses USB ilok then guess which one doesn't make it? - I have pretty much everything IKM, iZotope, Komplete 13U etc. Just using those alone I would hardly need to install anything else aside from specific things like Scaler 2, Melodyne, Vocalign Pro (this one needs usb ilok, at least for now) etc. Then there's all the DAW plugins which I still use a lot. - Finally deciding on my DAW(s) of choice. This means that Cubase Pro has to go (along with the e-licenser usb key). CbB makes it onto the new PC as does Studio One 5 Pro (just upgraded).

Very impressive, thanks NI! I was always a bit underwhelmed by the originals but these updates take them to a whole new level and include some excellent presets as a bonus.

Agreed. I'm not recommending it just saying the option's there. I am on a mission to get rid of all physical dongles in the migration to my new PC. I have managed to get it down to one item that still needs a physical iLok. Apologies for getting side-tracked and glad you got the Waves stuff sorted Vernon.

I thought that their "TLC on" option provided temporary licenses immediately followed by full replacements a few days later.

Unless you have paid for Zero Downtime ( https://www.ilok.com/#!zdt-coverage ) which I think is 30 USD per year or until you make a claim.

Worked for me, thanks for the heads-up ?

Extend the end date again? End of October might be enough to reach 5000.

Interesting - 2.1.1 was missing them in S1 Pro 4.6.2 for me. Are you on v5 by any chance? Looking for an excuse to upgrade anyway CbB and S1 working fine with 2.1.

On my list, thanks! I was surprised by that as well Fleer (I do own Pigments though but it's nice to have access in AL4). I have V Collection 6 so don't have the extra instruments in V Coll 7 (Mellotron V, Synthi V or CZ V) but I noticed that you can still buy AL4 banks that include patches from those synths which work fine. Same goes for OB-XA V ( e.g. Magonia's Signature sound bank). My "to buy" list so far... The Shofuku Cartridge 1 The Shofuku Cartridge 2 Synthwave 2085 Magonia's Signature The Weeknd Tribute

Thanks for the heads-up - I also just rolled back. I thought my mouse was playing up at first.

Useful review, thanks Simeon ? It certainly belies its $29 price tag!

Good point, what I should have said is that I have a few of their paid plugins and I like them and can see the value of multipass but I already have this type of plugin covered.

I tried the demo and I have to agree. I have a few of their paid plugins so had more to play with but still not enough to convince me of its worth.

Motif is a Multi Voice Smart Music Generator. NOTE: Built for Kontakt 5.8 & Kontakt 6 (I assume they mean the full version) Intro Offer is 59 EUR until 8th October when it goes back to regular price 89 EUR. I can't see a demo version but it does look interesting. https://rastsound.com/downloads/motif/

I'm at the same decision point abacab. Alternate keys definite and probably Clavitube. Alternatively one of the Hitmakers might be worth a look but I have everything else.

I agree it is confusing and I hope you are correct. Their membership page still shows Zenology Pro only for Pro or higher membership ? https://www.rolandcloud.com/roland-account/memberships

Isn't Zenology Pro just a one month trial for us Core subscribers Vernon? On a positive note, all paid Roland Cloud members get access to Zenbeats Ultimate for free on IOS. I tried it and it worked on my iPad.

Love anything by Nori Ubukata. The demos sound good too ?
