When I select any 28. machine preset, I get SA4 display an error mesage "Unable to load the convolution reverb data from'SFalcon Resources.ufs/Samples/Convolver/Speaker/Champion.wav'" and "Unable to load the convolution reverb data from'SFalcon Resources.ufs/Samples/Convolver/Speaker/bass Green.wav'" I have reported this to UVI support but I just want to make sure it's not just me. I am getting this too. I have Sonic Pass and have everything installed and upto date so its not like its looking for something in an uninstalled library. I am also seeing the same problem in Falcon.

They are quite different, SA has more breadth and VV has more depth. VV is a collection of instruments, each focused on sample-based emulation of specific synths and with a UI specific to each instrument. SA however has a selection of samples and a common UI for manipulating al of them, and this version also lets you "morph" between 2 sources. SA is based on a larger collection of synths but VV has a large number of samples from each original synth. In summary - Yes, it may make total sense having both, depending on what features you are interested in 1

To my knowledge, there is no overlap between them. It's composed of sounds that are not in Vintage Vault. So... do you want the additional sounds? Do you like the UI? 2
Vernon Barnes Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 First impressions. There are some nice sounds in here, while the default interface screen is a bit naf, clicking on the instrument illustration beings up the editing parameters for that layer which are on a par with a lot of sample bases synths with volume and filter envelopes, filter types and filter cutoff, resonance and drive etc. so there is scope for sound shaping but sounds will of course be limited to the original sample. Where as SA3 has a second simple bass layer here we have two full layers with separate editable parameters. As far as this type of sample based synth goes it is pretty versatile. IK Syntronic is the obvious comparison. SA4s browser is easier and Syntronic requires you to layer in a multi, which sounds best will be a matter of personal taste. SA3 has some nice touches if you are looking for "happy accidents" A downside for me with most libraries of this type is browsing through a zillion presets looking for a start point. NKS compatibility or at least NKS style audio previews would be useful.

I need ya on this one : can you tell me if like in V3 we can choose "raw wave forms" as a part source : In this exemple osc B is an ob-x saw Thks !! Edited August 31, 2023 by Zo
Fleer Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering too. Are we still able to use waveforms in v4? 1

I believe the feature you have depicted here is the layering of a sub oscillator waveform, which was a feature unique to the Synth Anthology 3 sound engine; the new Synth Anthology 4 sound engine is all about layering two complete synth patches instead. The sub-oscillator waveforms from SA3 (https://uvi.s3.amazonaws.com/SC87-Synth_Anthology_3/synth-anthology-3_manual.pdf) are not included in SA4 (https://uvi.s3.amazonaws.com/SC117-Synth_Anthology_4/synth-anthology-4_manual.pdf). There are some layers included in SA4 with names that sound basic (e.g. CCK-NTS Saw; CCK-NTS Sine; etc.); likely some custom patches which simply used a particular synth hardware's basic waveforms.

Brian Lawler Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Agree with @ToneDeF and point out that if you are upgrading, you will still have Anthology 3 (with its unique patches and samples that still use the Anth-3 interface) unless you uninstall it. Edited September 1, 2023 by Brian Lawler clarification 1 1
pseudopop Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I have to say I'm a bit disappointed about the upgrade price. I purchased Synth Anthology 3 for about $50 a couple of weeks ago thinking I might get v4 cheaper that way. (Faking) loyalty is not rewarded, it seems. Not that it's anything new in this business.

audioschmaudio Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 How is Synth Anthology in comparison to Syntronik 2? Are they very similar? Is one better than the other in some way?
Promidi Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 ....and my next prediction from UVI is BeatBox Anthology 3 1

There are now two patched versions since release: 1.0.2 ------ - Fix: potential silent presets 1.0.1 ------ - Fix: missing sample error - Fix: resource not found error in UVIWS - Add: shade overlay on disabled FX in Edit page 1
Release Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Oh man, the new interface makes this infinitely better than version 3, at least for me. I bought SA3 about a year ago, played with it for a few days, and then it just sat there. I just couldn't get into the way it worked. I liked the sound but not the process. So far, SA4 feels much more inviting for discovery where the last version I felt like I was constantly being held back. I'm obviously in the honeymoon phase having just bought it today, but I'm so far I'm liking it a LOT more. But then again, I'm just a hack, banging away at the keys and coming up with cool sounds and not someone who's deep in synths, so..... who knows how it'll hold up in a few months. Worth the 50 bucks though. 2

Zo Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 I think i m gonna skeep ot for now , one of the str.ength of sa3 was that it wasnt vulgarous and seted well on the mix , i m scared that this two patches thing will be omnispheresque and will ead to in your face patches fun to play but hard to make work in a mix . The over concern is cpu hit , uvi last releases are loaded with fx anf handles polyphony like crazy bolemia ... curious to olso have a feedback in that aspect .
Robert Joseph Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Seems like it does matter if you own SA3 or the original, the upgrade is $49?
