That's weird Fleer. I have some of them including Falcon plus 5 expansions, 4 of the collections, 5 of the Vintage Synths, Synth Anthology 4, World Suite 2, BeatBox Anthology 2, and 1 effect (SparkVerb), so I'm missing quite a few. So, not sure how they arrive at the upgrade cost. I mean $399 would be great for what you get but I don't need any of it and I can think of better ways to spend $399.

Includes 116 UVI products in a single bundle. Offer through 14th April 2025. Full price is $799, my intro offer is $399 (~50%). It includes: Falcon plus all 26 expansions 11 Studio Effects - Opal, Tape Suite, Drum Replacer, SparkVerb, Relayer, Thorus, Rotary, Plate, Shade, Dual Delay X, Phasor Mosaiq Keysuite Augmented Orchestra Synth Anthology 4 World Suite 3 Orchestra and Collections (12) Premium Single Instruments (10) Sound FX (9) Vintage Synths (42) See link below for full details https://www.uvi.net/en/store/sonicbundle.html

Now I think this might be "the something big"...

That is weird. If you right click on the sound bank (UVI Starter) and then click on "verify soundbank integrity" what doe sit say? Mine says "Your soundbank is valid".

I guess you guys are probably correct. I check for updates regularly but didn't see this UVI Workstation update until today (and anyway I usually use Falcon so not that bothered about Workstation updates). Some have also suggested that "something big" could be Beatbox Anthology 3. That would be good as I have BA2 so a nice price for an upgrade would be appreciated.

Working here Larry - have you tried double clicking on the Selected Kit from the browser? I did notice that AutoPlay doesn't auto play 🙄

Ah, yes you might well be correct. I also have BA2, so a cheap upgrade would be good.

Update via UVI Portal Change Log 4.0.1 - Fix possible crash when loading multi - UI fixes 4.0.0 - New browser with tags, audio previews, improved search and favorites - UI refinements and optimized layout - Sync engine features with Falcon 3.1.1 - New UVI Starter soundpack, featuring 50 UVI hand-crafted presets

Probably not this, but there is an update to UVI Workstation which now includes UVI Starter. Not exactly groundbreaking but might be useful to some. More here:

Thanks, been waiting for this for soooo long! Installed! Oh happy day! 😃

Any ideas?

Excellent guide, thank you @Starship Krupa Maybe it can be copied over to the instruments and effect forum and turned into a sticky? https://discuss.cakewalk.com/forum/7-instruments-effects/

Thanks @Wookiee, I am using the sandbox in Cakewalk. However, I should have said that I was trying KK standalone, but your post made me realise that it can be used as a plugin! So, I just tried loading it into Cakewalk and it opens which at least gives me access to the KK preferences and the ability to do a manual scan. If I do nothing but open it in Cakewalk, it still seems to be scanning as the preset count is increasing, but if I try to load a preset I get... I'm going to try simplifying the scan locations in the KK plugin preferences, then do a manual scan and see if that clears things up.

Since my keyboard (M-Audio Oxygen 49) is now supported by KK, I decided to see what it had to offer. Only to find that it gets stuck at the first hurdle, scanning my plugins. It's not the same plugin every time, so it seems like more of a bug than an issue with my plugins, which are scanned okay by numerous other DAWs/Hosts without any issues. So I wondered if anyone else had similar problems and found a solution or workaround? I mean this is not new software, right? So why the hell doesn't it have a "skip" button to skip any plugins it has issues with? Thanks in advance.

Yup, they must have changed the name (to protect the innocent :)

That's solved that one, thanks 👍🏻😂

I'm also a fan of FAME. I found the lo-fi plugin a bit "over the top". I find XLN Retro Color much more to my liking. I will do some more tweaking though. Were you able to install Pusher? I installed from the latest version of T-Racks 6 (6.1.3) in Product Manager but this doesn't seem to include Pusher. I tried an older version of T-Racks which I had archived and it did contain Pusher but this won't authenticate presumably due to being an older version. I have raised a support ticket with IKM.

Esteban is correct, but it may also be the difference between the way presets are shown in T-Racks 5 vs T-Racks 6. Here's a screenshot with TR6 Fame at the top and TR5 Fame at the bottom. Personally, I prefer the TR5 preset system.

I heard back from them with a personal voucher code to upgrade for $49. Thanks again for the suggestion 👍🏻

Worth a try, I have emailed them. Thanks

Hope you get it sorted. Sweetwater were excellent when I used them before. The only issue I have is that I'm checking out all the new modules but I don't see Pusher anywhere. I had the Intro version installed previously, so I removed it and installed T-Racks 6 Max separately as @Nitrate Audio suggests.

@Esteban Villanova Have you checked your spam folders? Here are the emails I received from Sweetwater. I am in the UK and ordered this at around 8.14am UK time this morning. Here's what I received from Sweetwater... At 8.15 am an email from "Sweetwater.com" with my order number and details. At 8.20 an email from "sales" stating that my order had "shipped". At 8.20 an email from "Fred Foster" with my activation code. At 8.25 an email from Sweetwater about getting started with my new gear. So I received my activation code approximately 6 minutes after placing my order. I registered it successfully in IK Product Manager.

Ah yes, that's right. It would have been $49 for me as I had SA3. Apologies for any confusion @audioschmaudio

Thanks. Wish I'd got this on intro price ($49) but I'm tempted by this anyway as I have SA3 and this has some useful improvements.

Great spot, thanks @kitekrazy1! Installed!
