Thanks. Yeah that's what has to be done with Dark KZ; you have to make daw presets and sometimes they're not recalled correctly or consistently. Is it common for a lot of synths out there to not provide for user presets to be saved? Just about all of my 3rd party synths are for Kontakt and I dig it's individual preset file mechanism that it and the other NI synths have. So it's pretty lame when I get a synth that can't even at least save presets within its own, thing

Do do you know if this lets you save your own presets? I know Dark KZ doesn't and I don't get that

Good

Get it?

Any have and use it?

Not if you incidentally already own k12

Have you done that? Sounds tedious

Stuff like this is cool. You know if you have Komplete 12 you have Session Strings 2 and there's a few Motown presets in there.

I always forget that you have to buy the Pianoteq player thingy for several hundred bucks to use the other pianoteq things *sigh*

I did buy it, I got that and the Nembrini Marshall update today. I could have sworn I bought something else too but I seriously forgot though maybe it was the Emotional Cello update I got free. Oh I bought an area rug too and some orange light bulbs

I thought it was very clever sweetie Yeah he wouldn't let true iron go for that, I want that as well

I got a deal on the 1.0 version recently and installed it but haven't tried it yet, so I'll be starting with the new version and deleted the 1.0

You're not supposed to be going anywhere anyway dude

I have the 1.5 update too, came out today it looks like

https://honestampsimreviews.com/2019/07/13/mercuriall-audio-pedals/ I discovered that pedal right before I saw him review it but I agree with everything he says about it. YMMV I guess but for me and my baritone strat it beats any number of tube screamer and other dist pedals I've put in front of that amp and I have all the good ones

With the Nembrini Marshall I recommend Mecurrial's Greed Smasher in front of it https://mercuriall.com/cms/details_freestuff

From who?

What do you mean?

I have it and it's cool but there's no way to save presets. You have to make daw presets.

String guage. String guage and scale length go hand in hand especially the lower you tune. I play a Warmoth baritone strat which has a 28 5/8 scale length. I tune to Bb standard (technically A# but whatever) using D'Addario EXL157 14-68 guage and I've got perfect tension at that tuning, it feels like a regular strat tension because the scale length, string guage and tuning are all balanced out right. String brand also matters even at the same guage. Tosin definitely has a very heavy guage going which is why he's able to make that happen, probably a custom gauge. The longer the scale length the more snap and definition the strings will have. You can actually take a Les Paul with its 24 3/4 (or 24 5/8 of you're down for that argument) scale length and tune that thing down to C with the right string gauge; a lot of death metal guys would do that. You can get good feeling tension there but the tone will be really dark w/ not a whole lot of definition because of the short scale length. You need the right balance of scale length and string guage for a given tuning if you still want to have some twang and spank left at those low tunings. That's why a 34" (and especially a 35" scale like I play) bass guitar has that twang in the strings when plucked w/ a pick; scale length and heavy guage.

I'm waiting till they pay me to get it

Hmm, I'll be surprised if they get back to you, as they haven't been responsive to me. Anyway as I was typing this I just got an email from PayPal saying simple sam refunded me with no explanation and I didn't ask for that or do a dispute yet so I guess they must have read Simeon's thread just now or something idk.

If you buy it be sure to subscribe to their email list first if you haven't already, to get an additional $5 off, so $45 instead of $50

Thanks Simeon. I guess it's ok.. but just about all of the "LA" presets in the Film section and some others need to have the direct mics rolled back a lot to get rid of the distortion, but then a lot of the body of the sound is lost. Do we not have direct control over the under-the hood effects? That would've been helpful. "Playing" this piano w/ the mouse is very revealing though, because every note when clicking on the bottom of the keys is full 127 velocity so I can hear what each notes sounds like at full 127 w/ every click; real chimey/pipey/clanky and metallic - not in a bad way per se, though I personally wasn't in love w/ how a lot of them sounded at full 127, but Idk. I need a proper midi keyboard
