Matthew Sorrels Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 If you expand/scroll that view database window really, really wide, there is a column "InstPlugin" that may be where the instrument tagging is coming from. 1
Matthew Sorrels Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Are you using the Instruments drop down and selecting PG-8X or are you using the Tags drop down and finding the PG-8X tag? Using the Tags I only get the Spitting Piano. But the Instruments drop down gives the larger list, since it's built from the plugins on the patch. 1

This ^^^^^ When you initially said that those patches showed up under the tag PG-8X I naturally went to the browser and selected "Tags --> PG-8X" which only shows the single piano patch. However, selecting "Instruments --> PG-8X" does indeed show all of the patches in your original list. So, essentially there is no issue with my install. I will close the ticket. Thanks for help in to getting to the bottom of it Matt. Although Unify seemed to work fine I really dislike little anomalies that cannot be explained - it kinda eats away at me (especially when I have lots of time to think about it like at the moment). ? 1
Matthew Sorrels Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Unify's dependence on open source VST plugins seems to take some of the value out of it for me. The presets are pretty nice though. I wish the content management was a bit better. Plugins that have their own/expandable content/presets aren't new but lately it's been a lot of focus. But in almost every case the end user headaches are way too high. The idea that a community will share patches and content for free hasn't ever really worked all that well, Native Instruments Reactor I suppose is the only "good" example I can think of, and it's a zoo. Unify has a bit of that still, instead of supporting a managed a curated library of high quality (and perhaps paid) content. I don't want 9999 patches of various quality and value. I want 10 excellent patches with well thought out macros and controls. I need less quantity and more quality. Edited March 24, 2020 by Matthew Sorrels 1
