KV331 Audio announced the version 2.9.10 update for their SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster 2 Player software synthesizers. This free update brings native support for Apple Silicon Macs, major usability improvements and critical bug fixes. The new features in this update are as follows: Native Support for Apple Silicon Macs: SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster 2 Player now run natively on Apple Silicon Macs, provided that the DAW is running natively. New Factory Presets: 150 new factory presets by NatLife, Yuli Yola and Selcuk Ergen are now added to SynthMaster's factory library, increasing the presets count to 2000. New Skins: All SynthMaster 2 iOS skins are now working inside SynthMaster 2. That adds 4 new skins to SynthMaster 2. SynthMaster Player's skins are updated as well, they're now in line with SynthMaster. Keyboard and Velocity Zones: Each layer in SynthMaster 2 has now its own keyboard and velocity zones, letting the users to play different layers on different keyboard/velocity ranges. Pitch Quantization using Scales: The pitches of Oscillators or Modulators can now be quantized using a user selected scale. This lets the pitch to stay in tune within that specific scale. Larger Popup Windows for Arps, Sequencers and Multisegmented Envelopes: Due to the small areas allocated for Arps, Sequencers or Multisegmented Envelopes, editing those modules were challenging at times. With the introduction of popup windows, users can now press the zoom button to bring up the larger edit window(s) which take up the entire plugin window. Sequencer Edit Modes: With the introduction of the "Edit Mode", it is easier to edit steps for a Sequencer: Step: This mode is used to add rectangular steps (initial and final values are the same). Up: This mode is used add upward steps (initial value is always zero). Down: This mode is used to add downward steps (final value is always zero). Freehand: This mode allows the user to draw freehand shapes. Aside from the new features, there are critical bug fixes in this update: Voices termination algorithm is not working correctly for some presets. SynthMaster crashes when arpeggiator generates notes lower than MIDI Note 0. Switcing from basic/additive/vector types to wavetable types for oscillators might crash SynthMaster. Switcing from wavetable type to basic/additive/vector types for oscillators might crash SynthMaster VST AU AAX iOS Software synthesizer. SynthMaster crashes when playing a multisample that contains a region with an invalid wave file. SynthMaster crashes when license key file downloaded from KV331 Audio server contains invalid values. When a preset is saved under a sub folder under 'Presets' folder, the sub folder name should be interpreted as the bank name. SynthMaster doesn't display purchase status of products correctly. SynthMaster can not get access token for Google Cloud services. Arpeggiator continues recording notes after user switches from Record to Off state. In Mono Legato mode, oscillators/modulators don't reset phase/position correctly. ADSR Envelopes can generate out of bound outputs when envelope durations are very short. Presets using compressor effect with "Layer 1 Dry/Layer 2 Dry" sidechain might sound at different volume level. When loading older presets, Sequencers with retrigger enabled are loaded as Global instead of Mono. FM doesn't work for Osc2 when Sync is turned on. Notes terminate before the envelope(s) complete release stage. SynthMaster doesn't filter incoming MIDI messages by channel number. Filter keytracking doesn't correctly glide in mono legato mode. Older presets with glide LFOs don't load correctly. When Arp view is in record mode, it instantly changes the arp mode to "Sequence". SynthMaster crashes when a modulation amount is changed for a mod matrix entry which doesn't have any visible targets on the user interface. Layer voice stealing should be set to "Steal Released Notes" for older presets. Layer clipping should be turned off for older presets. When Layer 2 is bypassed when a note was playing, and it was turned on again, hanging notes occur. https://www.synthmaster.com/synthmaster.aspx

Organic Instruments has announced the release of arcadia, a nuanced grand piano plug-in that features over 13½ hours of sampled content, 4 specialised articulations and adjustable mechanical sounds for keys and pedals. The arcadia grand piano plug-in was developed over a period of 4 months by Organic Instruments. Recorded within a private family lounge, arcadia contains a set of four distinct articulations: sustained, staccato, felted and una corda. Each articulation features up to 5 recorded dynamic layers and four round-robins per sample. Additional mechanical effects are also included which allow the composer to independently adjust the mix of pedal and key action sounds. The large scope of recorded material contained within arcadia addresses Organic Instruments' primary intent, to craft a plug-in capable of realistic performance without unnecessary complexity: We felt an earnest desire for a natural grand piano plug-in, that could replicate a physical performance with realism, but didn't confuse or overwhelm its users. Something with a clean interface, rich sound and accessible price-point, while preserving the function and form expected of a high-end product. Arcadia is our answer to this need. organic instruments arcadia includes a built-in filter to optionally restrict the dynamic scope of the instrument to a specified range, designed to assist in performance by reigning-in unintentionally accentuated or under-played notes. Included reverb and ADSR envelope controls also simplify the workflow of composers, allowing customisation of the plug-in's sound from one unified space. Organic Instruments provide audio demonstrations for arcadia on their website, featuring examples of all included articulations. The total sample size for arcadia is approximately 4GB; the product may be installed on external storage if desired. Features: Up to 5 dynamic/velocity layers per sample. Up to 4 round-robins per sample. Contains 4 specialised articulations: sustained, staccato, felted & una corda. Includes additional samples of internal key and pedal mechanics. Includes a dynamic/velocity filter. Built-in reverb and ADSR envelope controls. Resizeable plug-in interface. Pricing arcadia is available from the organic instruments website for $29. A 7 day trial edition is available free of charge: Arcadia: Grand Piano Arcadia: Grand Piano - Trial

$19.99 Utu is a plugin used to differentiate the transients of a sound from the Sustain that comes after it. The plugin allows you to then edit these parts separately in terms of shelving EQs and volume, which in the case of the Attack control, allows you to really bring out the smack from your sound, or to remove it pretty much entirely, leaving only the sustain of your instruments. There is a Time control to allow you to control the lenght of the transient tails, which allows you to control what the other controls affect more precisely. A Wet/Dry blend and an Output trim exist to let you blend the effect back into the original audio just as you want it. Buttons also exist to add Vastaus style Smoothing separately to both the Attack and Sustain sections. https://wavegrove.gumroad.com/l/TransientUtu

Ample Sound doesn't use iLok...it's machine authorization Heavyocity uses Machine Authorization also The rest are iLok...

I doubt it...RX Advanced is about the same price as Komplete Ultimate, so I don't think it will make the cut...

I would have gotten the sub with the $49 offer had it had RX Advanced... that was the deal killer for me, because I already had everything else, so there wasn't any reason to do it
