Ah the infamous vampire hunter and inventor of the word 'humongous', which, up to that point in time was simply called 'thy mother'. Of whom the story of how to meet her was not televised but widely known. Mostly amongst the seafaring folk. Which is derived from the Dutch "zeevarend", not to be confused with "zeearend" which is a sea eagle. The most American thing ever and still a better unit of measurement than inches.

Boy was I wrong about the coalplants per cubic drinkwatercontaminations system. I thought it was a nice thing that heating up 1L of water (which weighs 1 KG) with 1°C requires 1Kcal of energy. Turns out it's way better to tune a pitchfork to 440Hz, launch a rocketship to the moon, have the pitchfork resonate there and while ignoring a vacuum have the sound travel 310 hours (or 3674 Mount Rushmores per McDonalds) to reach earth again. Cherry Audio's new synth will do all of this. With polyphony!

Oops, my bad. It apparantly is. Soooo, what is the significance of 440? Besides the band Apollo 440. Speaking of Apollo, the moon mission used a mixture. Its a miracle the thing got of the ground.

To be honest, I had to look it up. I just knéw there had to be a term for this phenomena. And to be totally honest, soylent grin was the first thing that came up, but I wanted something more derogative to express my contempt. I have unsubscribed for less.

They also have excellent service. I had a, let's say, dispute with a reseller (audioplugindeals) who were unwilling to help. But Wave Alchemy did even when they didn't had to.

I absolutely HATE these kind of thumbnails. The sad thing is that it is supposed to work. We (the people of the internets) should make it a thing that the moment we see this cuckface behaviour, we should flood the comments with hints of what he/she should put in there. Like a baguette or something...?

Impossible. I've seen you install recordings of a broken drumstick flopping against ballistic gel. This one is actually useful.

I think I can safely say I got most of my weird issues worked out. Everything is working as designed. And I can't really tell how happy I am. Just switch on a random synth, start playing, it works, it sounds great. I'm learning a LOT about my synths by just playing around, failing and then making it work. Take the Matriarch arp, it sounded nice, but not amazing. So I just upped the arp speed and suddenly everything clicked! I'm learning to play live for which I'm taking lessons. I try to at least play 1 synth live in a jam session. Let me know what you think!

I know, but I'm not playing these American games ?. It's always 7 freedomeagles per square hummer or something like that. Nothing relates, it's total chaos. Ok there's 12 inch in a foot. But there's 5280 feet in a mile. Which is not a multitude of 12. Why would you sandwich a day between a month and a year?!! "What's the date? Oh is january....." No you start with a number! And if someone is confused, thén you give them the month.

Really solid product, use this a lot and would set it above Substance by Output. And Drum Tools 02 is a huge sample pack.

It's a long wait until the 3rd of july. Let's just agree that the corrrect order of things is NOT smaller --> smallest --> small. Anyway, I don't mind Cherry Audio. They have some nice products (not groundbvreaking, but nice), they are priced according to that and I use some of their synths as a preset template for the hardware versions I own (CA2600 and PS20).

Nice, will get this with the forever 29.

I haven't checked out the sounds yet, but it looks like this is right up my alley. Now the question, in what Komplete tier will it be?

I don't know, but if that's true, it seems really weird that the compressor has a list price on PA of €299 and on PB €36.

? The last one. Buuuut, I bought it especially with synthwave in mind. Streichfett + Baby Audio Super VHS seemed like a match made in heaven. But I didn't have the time yet as I've been a bit busy with my livejam setup. I will get around to it. I'm sure...

Ah, one of my Black Friday buys which I haven't used yet ?

Thanks! I can leave the house, but not willingly ?. The main 'problem' is, I have an hour to kill, so I start jamming and before I know it, I'm 3 hours in. I think the keyboard you're referring to is the Arturia Microfreak. It's an awesome little digital synth (analog filter). The patch is called 'Far Away'. The keybed of the Microfreak is touch sensitive and responds to how much of your finger is on the key. That in turn controls modulation, in this case the filter envelope. I then put it through the free Valhalla Supermassive for a huge modulated reverb. It also adds stereowidth which adds a little extra because the Microfreak is mono.

Alright, my best one yet. I really happy with this! I was playing around earlier this week with the Novation Peak and I stumbled upon a nice sound after some tweaking. Then I lost that sound because I didn't save. ? But luckily I did record it. Then I thought, screw it, I'll build from here. Doubled it up with another arp sound. Decided last minute (almost literally) that I needed a lead sound. And boy oh boy did the Microfreak deliver.

It may be silly to 'kick' an old thread up, but I remembered this and I finally got the Lyra-8 this week. Jammed a bit just now. Decided halfway through to put a beat under it and I think I created a pretty decent techno track. Just instant vibes.

No I haven't. I have the plugin (who doesn't at this point) but I have never used it.

Oh yeah, it can be really resource heavy.

Lurssen is a good one and worth the $29.99. I often use it to get a (very good) ballpark master sound. Then I can compare it with what I get from Ozone. And then I can try to recreate it with other plugins. Or when I'm just jamming and don't want to bother with spending too much time, I just slap it on. Don't expect magic, but it is a nice tool to have.

I find myself in this weird situation in my productions lately, where I tend to bury my transients. Could be I'm overdoing my clipping, could be I'm not sidechaining enough, but this could also be the moment I have to saturate my drums some more. And more is always better, sooo....

No! ? Well, it just works great on a drumbus. If you need some grit and/or aggression. For me, it's a mojo box, it adds a certain character. And I think it works best on drums. I don't bother with the presets because it's very easy to setup and to find your sweetspot.
