SO - for you to be able to tone model your own gear or others you need a seperate peice of kit called TONEX Capture: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonexcapture/ Another €300 for us in Europe inc vat ( sales tax ) I watched this interesting video about the capture process .. and it sounds like a right pain in the a*rse. Have a look. Anyone tried this yet? And yes there is a PROBLEM in comparison to other - albeit - far dearer solutions like the Kemper Pedal or the quad cortex

Im in Europe / Ireland. Here we have VAT - Value added tax @23% ( in US I think its similar to sales tax?? ) So w/o jampoints my price is €399 ex VAT or €491 inc vat So amazon UK at €350 inc taxes and delivery so far is cheapest even if I take off €91 jampoints from the IK price of €491 inc vat

Hi guys, Im really considering this TONEX PEDAL ( at amazon its €350 inc delivery and includes the TONEX MAX software thats €120 to get seperate ). So the pedal is costing you €230 .. so to speak https://www.amazon.co.uk/IK-Multimedia-TONEX-Pedal-learning/dp/B0BV2Z8YYW https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonexpedal/?pkey=tonex-pedal I watched this vid reviewing this TONEX Pedal in a live environment. The Guy live DOESNT use an amp anymore. Just out of tonex to DI with XLR to desk and uses in ear monitors. Have a look at his videro here: In the vid he does mention a slight disadvantage that when switching patched there is a very slight delay. As always a good work around is provided in the comments: "Hey man, glad you're loving the Tonex. It's certainly an awesome bit of kit. In the vid you mention a delay when switching presets so wanted to suggest a tip which might help you with that. Out of the box, the Tonex is set up to switch patches on Release of the footswitch, not on Press. This is so you can use A+B or B+C together to switch up and down banks. Personally, I hated the way that felt - I want my patch to switch as soon as I stomp on the footswitch. So if you're happy to do without the option for bank up/down on the unit itself, then you can make your footswitches operate on Press and it feels MUCH more responsive. You said you're only using 3 patches, so it sounds like that'll suit you. But even if you want the option for bank up/down later, you can just plug a cheap 2-button momentary switch into the ext.control jack with a TRS cable and problem solved. Hope that helps, brother!" You have an EXT CONTROL full jack at the back:

If you look at the IK site that version seems not to be available no more - now only Tonex MAX or the FREE CS https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonex/index.php?p=versions SO - do you end up buying a product and find its no longer available over at audioplugin DOT deals?

Arturia's offering for €149 ... no doubt will be on sale at some stage https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/cs-80v/overview

@ZincT "The problem was that I couldn't start the program to change VST paths etc as it was just stuck on VB-ROYAL during the startup scan." To sort that i usually just temp rename the vst folder names. Go into Vegas. Rename the plugin folders bak to norm. Go to prefs / vst settings / rescan. Best though to seperate EFX Vsts from VSTis to own folders

@ZincT With VEGAS on board I got round this by setting up a seperate NOT WORK WITH VEGAS vst folder and put the plugins causing trouble in vegas in here. Did not ref that folder in vegas VST prefs / paths. Of late though I have moved to setting up the following folder paths - c:\audio data\vstplugins64 - c:\audio data\vst effects In c:\programfiles\commonfiles\vst3 I have setup c:\programfiles\commonfiles\vst3\vst effects So once plugins installed I manually drag drop the EFFECTS vsts into these 2 effects folders and the other folders then just have the VSTi's / instruments. So now for likes of Sound Forge, Audacity, Vegas and other programs that DONT use the VSTi's I just put the vst effects folder paths into the VST Prefs/Paths and not the VSTi folder paths

Once logged in at https://www.plugins-samples.com/ and then go to DOWNLOADS and if already subscribed you will see the AAS link inc code to deliver the 2 free packs. Language no matter, you dont need the mag itself.

Yip @ZincT .. its €122 for me as VAT @23% added here in Ireland. So even with the €15 jampoints its still bit too saucy for me also. Will wait too

There am I trying to re-install my Arturia synths on a rebuilt laptop. App Internet connection errors though elsewhere my Internet all good, Gigabit. I imagine this is BF issue with the site getting hammered?

As per on the membership page: Get 1 year of Membership at our lowest price of $71! (U.P. $179.40) Offer ends 4 Dec, 09:00 UTC. https://www.bandlab.com/membership Steep enough at $179.40 pa .. BUT THEN at $14.95pm its same or similar to streamers like Netflix so relative to that, not steep I suppose.

Mmmm .. Komplete 13 to 15 is €199 .. I think I recall all previous upgrades were €99?

FYI for all who pass this way. I can say YES to my Q. The KEEP PERSONAL FILES AND APPS does indeed leave everything as it is that was installed in the previous windows 10. I had a 2nd laptop with Win 10 on it and not too worried about it apps/data wise. Now up to Windows 11 pro, ALL latest updates happening no prob. All my apps and data as is. So now I am doing this Win 11 upgrade using the process in the OP on my main laptop. This extends the life of older laptops even further, great stuff. Thanks @Old Joad AND the system is far more slicker now ( Core i5, 16GB ram, 512GB NVME )
