paulo Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Anyone else's Augmented Strings Intro patch selector get borked by the update? Mine doesn't work like it did before. The only way in now is via clicking on the three little vertical lines to the left, clicking on the central bit where the preset name is does nothing now.

Fleer Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I’m thinking the Intro package may hold all of the samples already (almost 3GB) while the full version adds an advanced tab for sound design. If that’s true, then I’m pretty much set with Intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracingArcs Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I don't know if anyone else has similar issues with the software center from Arturia. But if I have more than one update as happened yesterday with AL5 and Augmented strings. It will d/load and install the first ok. But then just sits and does nothing for the second update though it states waiting. The only solution is to log out, close down the app, and restart the app. Then the dowload for the second update is instant. Just frustrating.

My Intro version had the advanced tab yesterday, hence my nothing but presets comment to you and this morning it was the same, but after closing and then re-opening it was gone - something weird going on there but the pc is offline, so I'm not sure how anything could have changed it. The preset menu change hasn't reverted to how it was before though. Hmmm, I think it might be time for me to forget about this one. It's not like I haven't got any other toys to play with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 And now the advanced tab is back again......... For those who might be thinking that old Paulo's been on the sauce or might be going a bit doolally (and believe me I was even starting to question myself here) here's some screenshots I just took... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That appears to be the full version of Augmented Strings. My copy of Intro says "Augmented Strings Intro" at the top left next to the "hamburger" menu.

My copy of Intro says "Augmented Strings Intro" at the top left next to the "hamburger" menu. Yeah, when the advanced tab isn't there, that's what it says, but when the advanced tab is there then it says Augmented Strings I -(ie the NTRO disappears) I didn't notice that when I first had it because I didn't know what it was supposed to look like. Either way round, there are only 50 presets in total. I would think that the "full" version would have more than that. The weirdness only happened after reading this thread and doing the update. Prior to that I just thought that it was a very nice and surprisingly tweakable freebie. I only did the update because of the CPU usage improvements. I wish I hadn't bothered now. I have also tried the INTRO unistall/re-install via ASC and it's as shown above at the moment. I don't have the full version and have never even installed the demo version (couldn't even if I wanted to it seems) so all in all it's very strange. Oh well, onwards and upwards and all that.....

abacab Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Like I mentioned earlier, my hunch was to wait until the first round of patch updates before I dive in after a major upgrade was just released. Think I will stick to that plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend not to dive in as a rule (I'm still on CW version 2020.09) but the only real problem I could see with it before was the CPU hit, so fixing that seemed like a very good idea. It seems now that the version I had was already broken it just happened to be broken in my favour. It's a freebie at the end of the day, so I'm not going to be losing sleep over it.

Brian Lawler Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I caved (for the 9 upgrade). FWIW, 301 presets each for Augmented Strings and Voices synths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
