I cannot seem to find any info on the "Buku" & "Miyabi" libraries from this bundle. Are these new? Are there any links to hear them?

Discovered this in another thread's banner add! Looks very interesting! Do you plan on making any sort of patch walkthrough videos ala Spitfire where we can hear the different instruments / articulations isolated? I did watch the video above, but would love to hear more!

Note performer by Wallander. It’s what it was created for. https://www.noteperformer.com/

Can I ask a probably stupid question. how can you find out the size of a library you have downloaded? I downloaded the full version of a library in haste, and now wonder if I made a mistake as it has a lot of processed patches that dont need to be on my HD until I'm looking for those sort of...

OMG! You have summed of my EXACT thoughts on the bundle! Seriously!! I'm 100% in the same boat. Thats truly amazing!! Whispers didnt speak to me at all either, and Sinusoid I seems ok. The processed sounds in that library are the most interesting part for me, but I do have other sources for...

I’m one who got the sine version free for owning the Kontakt version, and to be honest I only use the contact version and don’t even have the other installed. I understand you want it registered to you see it as part of the bundle, but in all honesty the additional 10% off for the whole bundle...

Exact same situation. Are you my long lost sample sibling?!

Thanks for the great info!

Ahhh thank you!

Makes me wonder if an update adding dynamic eq options is forthcoming. The workflow on Claro is intriguing, but unless I’m missing something function wise doesn’t offer anything my combo of sonible smartEQ and izotope neutron can’t do?

I don’t understand why this unit doesn’t also offer midi cc control? Why not have a midi cc mode you access via button and now the controller assigns its faders and knobs to specific midi CCs, and better yet different layouts for different software instruments? I don’t understand the division...

100% agree about the need for more faders! I can ride 4+ faders at one time comfortably - try doing that with knobs! Really don’t understand why companies insist on knobs over faders. Btw, I don’t think this controller can do any midi cc control anyway, strictly plug-in parameter / channel strip

Can someone confirm this issue in Atlantis 3? Normally in the legato patches, if you turn off the legato you can now play chords, but Patch 25 Dark Siren true legato, Patch 27 Venezia True Legato, & Patch 28 Syllable True legato, turning off legato to play chords does not work like other...

did the piece get removed? I dont see any links to hear the piece. :(

Dont own Aurora, but do own Austrian grand from a bundle and there was no crossgrade option in my account so I'll be reaching out to UVI shortly. For those who own both, is there any reason to keep Austrian grand installed? Judging from the videos the new UI is much easier to work with and has...

last night, still undecided, I was watching walkthrough videos on Salu and ended up falling in love with the female choir! Really love the intimate pure tone! probably my favorite OT choir (though I also like Tallin which is similar though fuller). Babel also sounds interesting but the lack of...

Anyone know what time zone they use to calculate their end time? They only say “The voucher expires on January 31, 2024.” Assuming that’s Berlin time? wondering if I need to grab something now or if I have more time to research. Torn between Zhonghu Ens A6 for a piece I’m currently using Erhu on...

Adaptive sync seems very cool and should be standard for rolls & dynamics. Does anyone else do this?

A little over my use vs cost ratio but for sure on my watch list just incase!

Enamored by the orchestral tools phoenix ensemble patches, wondering if there are other libraries out there with ensemble patches? Or if anyone has found a convincing way to make the single Erhu from NI East Asia sound like an ensemble? Tried detune / chorus and ends up being too synthy.

The key here is the ability to use it both to control audio faders (which most do out of the box) and be able to switch to controlling midi CC for virtual instruments on the same device, which seems to not exist?

Thank you! I will look into audioswift

looking for a versatile controller for logic and Final Cut Pro, and love the idea of loupedeck, but really dislike knobs as you can only control one at a time. Does anyone make something like loupedeck or streamdeck that is flexible for multiple apps, but has multiple faders instead of knobs? I...

Hello, I have some user questions about ERA II. I did download and scan the manual for more info but cannot figure out the following: 1. Midi Grooves. In the manual for the Hurdy Gurdy, it states that "You will find 2/4 and 6/8 midi grooves, and besides, you will be able to create your own...

bumping this in case of new developments or recommendations. Cinematic Studio Solo Strings really do sound fantastic, but a bit out of my budget right now. I will have to keep an eye out for future sales. Will probably end up grabbing the Salu quartet to tide me over but a bit concerned with the...

Looks cool! Question though, if you plan on using it to control midi cc, does it have a “pass through function” where it wont send until it passes through the current midi cc value? or does the midi cc jump to the current knob value once moved?

Thank you both so much! Glad to hear some patches like the TM arps do sync to your DAW bpm in SINE. Is the tempo range / stretch algo pretty good in SINE? But its really sad to hear that its limited to only the TM patches! So in the Salu String Quartet there is a grand total of 2 patches...

Looking for a lyrical melodic ethnic instrument that can bring an additional color over an orchestra, and immediately thought of something from Phoenix. Of course there is the erhu from the collection, but I was also impressed by the full sound of the "Gaohu Ensemble a6" - seems more epic and...

Trying to figure out what to spend my voucher on, and was thinking of grabbing the Salu Quartet as I love the sound. Not too familiar with SINE player as most of my OT are in Kontakt, but I'm wondering if SINE is at all like VSL's player where you have a "stretch" mode for time stretching...

Are the Salu swells and crescendoes tempo synced or can be adjusted in anyway? Are the Arpeggios tempo synced? E.g. the string quartet arps? Is that what "TM" next to the patch means? Reading up on TM patches, it sounds like they can be adjusted in time, but not synced to the daw tempo...

Would love to hear your feedback when you get a chance. Looking at this one myself! (See post above)

Looking for a lyrical melodic ethnic instrument and immediately thought erhu from the Phoenix collection, but I wonder if there are hidden gems that I should check out as well that really sing?

Thanks so much for confirming my thoughts! You sound very much like me in your thought processes and even your limited time so cannot get bogged down in learning / remembering complex interfaces and just want to write efficiently. Really appreciate you taking the time to post your experiences!!!

I remember reading that at one point each instance of Orchestrator re-loaded all the samples again into RAM, regardless of if the instruments were already loaded in another orchestrator. Is this still the case? This is a bit concerning for me due to lack of RAM.

Thank you bosone for sharing your experiences with both as well!! When I'm trying to write, its a real creativity killer to wait for presets to load, so if its not possibly to quickly cycle through ideas, ostinatos, etc, then I can see myself not using it mid-composition. As a starter perhaps...

Thank you for the fantastic reply Justin! I think I'll give sonokinetic Fantasy a try and see if I enjoy that workflow, but I'm really intrigued by your idea on Orchestrator potentially opening new market for people to create and sell new patterns! That sounds very interesting and something that...

Looking for opinions on using these tools not for finished tracks, but as spring boards, sparkle elements, or quick explorations when looking for different ideas or inspirations, usually in the middle of composing. Somewhat concerned with flexability of each when using them mid-composition, as...

Watched the War Horn builder and the sounds are FANTASTIC! So unique and very well recorded. For sure this is now on my radar! But it wasnt clear from the video or your product page if there are any round robins recorded? I am concerned that event though you can very the lengths and the loop...

Has this issue been addressed & fixed by Spitfire? Since its part of their current "The Ton" Black friday special I truly hope so!

Thank you for the warning!

Curious, is this an issue with all Apple silicon chips and the latest Synchron player? Or specific to the M1 Ultra?

Do the cross grades work both ways? For example can I start with smart orchestra and later get a discount on Duality strings or Neptune?

Agree

Can you explain 2 a bit further? I use “low latency mode” in Logic but would be open to other options. I’m assuming you are running the drum vsti outside cubase so you get lower latency and routing the audio back in as an audio track? Or are you somehow also recording midi too?

exactly! The spec speed difference is substantial! but I wonder if it matters for our uses?

Has anyone maxed out the read speed doing large mockups off a single 8TB SSD like this? Wondering if this is fast enough or if I should go with NVMe?

Similar thoughts here. Own licenses for Shade, Plate, Sparkverb, Dual Delay X & Relayer, and only received a voucher worth €40. Not going to bother reaching out to UVI as I dont really need the effects bundle but if it was impulse buy worthy might have gone for it as I do enjoy their GUI's &...

I’m about half way through version 1, (after starting and restarting for years) but wonder if I should continue or wait for version 2 and start over yet again?

I dont know if this is the best place to ask, but I'm digging into Unify and wondering if there is a community or thread dedicated to technical questions or feature suggestions? If this is not already possible, I would like to suggest the ability to return any of the knobs / settings of presets...

I'm playing around with some of the fantastic Eduardo Tarilonte libraries in the Engine player, and bumbling around trying to figure out how to control the arpeggiator! I would like to make changes to the arp pattern in a patch, and I've been able to find how to turn the different provided...

Beginning my research on this product. Are the loops midi performance loops that can be edited, or audio only loops or a combination? If audio only, are separate stems provided for each instrument / part or is the loop a full ensemble on a single audio file? Really surprised they dont specify...

Sounds Fantastic!! Instabuy! Since this is a learning community, do you ming sharing how you were able to get the permissions to make this album? I'd love to do something like this, or even just a "fan tribute" to some of my favorite game scores, but uncertainty of the legalities of such work...

In regards to the XY pad, check out how Luftrum's Lunaris 2 handles it. Its simply fantastic and opens up another creative world! Not only do they have preset movements for the XY Pad, they even have a way of recording your mouse movements on the XY pad which you can then save as a preset! So it...

Anyone guess how much the price will increase during the "intro" period based on past releases? Probably 199?

I must be blind because I do not see the mention of the expansion pack at all! Edit - found it lol! Have to click the link to the VSL website.

Is the upgrade price from the VI version a limited time sale or always this price? I know it’s not much $$ but need to plan

does the smart bundle include the VSO ExpansionPack?

Having the same result for every playback seems to be a basic feature, especially for a company who specialize in tools for professional composers. Cant have the stems be different than the mix! Of course you can bounce the track as audio, but then editing/conforming becomes more challenging.

Anyone pick up Voices of War - Men of the North? Whats the best price I can hope for? Is 50% off max?

Are the ethnic winds in pro still a single velocity layer? Was researching old threads on vi-control and this was a disappointment for some wanting more control.

Seems to be installing now using Native Access 3.2. It also needed to install Kontakt 7 player for some reason, even though the library works on K6 which I own and already had installed. Hopefully upgrading Native Access from V1 doesn't cause any unexpected issues.

Thank you for your reply! The external HD has 2.34TB available, so there is plenty of room on it for installation. I have set the download location & content location to this drive (as again it has plenty of room for both) But I always end up with this error stating that 149GB is required and I...

Running native access 1.14.1 and trying to install a large sample library, and even though I have set all the folders in the preferences -> File Location to my external HD, I'm still getting an error that there is not enough space on my system drive! I actually tried on two different machines...

I get "invalid promo code" so I guess they are all gone :( But very cool of you to drop some discount codes!

Thank you Nick for clarifying / correcting my mistakes with the USB-C connector & USB3 protocol! As for the Acasis TBU405, do you think its worth the extra investement / speed for sample use? The SanDisk NVMe 4TB Extreme can be had for under $300 if you keep an eye out for sales, but perhaps its...

What speeds are you getting with that enclosure Nick? edit: oh I see you are saying it would be comparable to the SanDisk external, which should be true as they both use USB3 and not Thunderbolt/USB4.

This is the one I'm using, formatted as APFS. I'm unsure if its a V2? https://www.costco.com/sandisk-nvme-4tb-extreme-portable-ssd.product.100793882.html Also note that though thunderbolt is faster than USB-C so you would think you would get the max speeds advertized, some of the USB-C drives...

I'm running a SanDisk NVMe 4TB Extreme Portable SSD as my main sample drive on my M1 Macbook pro directly into my Thunderbolt 4 port on the mac without a problem. In fact I had major issues building my own NVMe setup (drive + inclosure) and gave up that pursuit for the SandDisk Extreme and its...

I use and love the Synchronized Woodwinds, but lately I find myself wishing for Tutti patches for quick section writing as well as resource management. Synchronized woodwinds are great for solo instruments but lacking any real tutti sections. Looking at the Synchron Woodwinds page at VSL, I see...

Thank you so much Evans for taking the time to examine this!! Really appreciate it!

super dumb question time: Ark 5 Woodwinds. Is there anything to be gained from the "Woodwind Ensemble" patches if you own both "High Woodwinds" and "Low Woodwinds" individually? Looking at the articulations they seem to be the same. Are the High & Low Woodwinds just layered together to make the...

Does Babel ever go on sale or is using the holiday voucher my best bet? The reason I ask is because I don’t really need the library so I’m willing to wait, and to be honest I have no idea if I would even use it in my music often, but there is something special about this library that makes me...

Thanks. since these are usb 3, connecting it to my MacBook Pro which only has thunderbolt 4 ports, so it will take a USB C connection. To go from USB3 to USB C is it best to use an adapter like this? open To other suggestions as well. Thanks! Hopefully using an adapter like this will not...

searching for hubs and docks is proving to be a much more complicated process than I had anticipated. At a basic level I need 7 USB ports for connecting keyboards, midi controllers, dongles, etc. These do not necessarily need to be fast as I will not be streaming samples, but they do need to be...

How did you find out about this sale? I don’t see any sort of newsletter option or anything on their homepage. Would love to know if this ever happens again.

Must admit that was the best checkout experience for a freebie I’ve here had. No shopping cart to deal with or even address to enter. Simply log in, claim the license and done. Thank you Arturia!

Oh so they are different sound sources? Guess that was the question if Lunaris 2 has all Lunaris 1 sound sets. Good to know thanks!

Other than backwards compatibility with older projects, is there any reason to keep Lunaris 1 installed after installing Lunaris 2?

Forgive me, but when does this deal end? (Edit: Link says Dec 31st. really should have dates in announcement posts IMO)

This is what VSL should have done with their sequencer in VI pro, which was dropped in Synchron Player. So much potential for storing runs, glisses, flurishes, hits, etc fully orchestrated and ready to go when needed quickly. I do wish the orchestrators shared resources between instances, but...

Which 2 did you pick?

NVME, unless in a thunderbolt enclosure, will be capped on your MBP. USB3 enclosures use dual bands to get the super high speeds, which thunderbolt ports do not support. Thunderbolt enclosures are faster, but they cost 3-4x as much as USB3. Either way, you should get faster speeds than 500/s. if...

Which sample players offer true Sample Purging like Kontakt, where it will remove every sample from RAM and only load them once that particular sample / note is played? This is a FANTASTIC feature for my laptop work as I can sample purge when writing if/when RAM becomes low. Are there other...

Why what happened?!

Thank you so much!! Do I need the full blown Studiomux, or would midimux work? https://appadvice.com/app/midimux/963133945 edit: acutally I cant seem to find midimux in the App Store so perhaps it doens’t exist anymore?

I should specify. I'm NOT looking to replace Lemur (at this time). I'm simply looking for a new way to interface between Lemur and my M1 macbook pro. Assuming such a thing exists? I know Lemur's days are numbered but with the amount of time and effort I invested in Composer Tools Pro, I'd like...

On my desktop machine Lemur Daemon works fine and has been solid for years. On my M1 Laptop Lemur Daemon is VERY hit and miss. A couple days ago I seutp my ipad via Lightning to Thunderbolt direct connection, added the ports (USB) in Lemur Daemon just fine, and was working in Logic with Composer...

Thanks for sharing!! Do you know how long Cube Mini its at this price at pluginboutique? For sure want mini for $10, but hoping there might be different choices for the free extras. No idea if that ever happens mid-month though.

Looks like there is a V2 now! Wonder if there is an upgrade path?

Please forgive me if this a dumb question but here it goes. Since the everything bundle contains both Stratus and Stratus 3D / Symphony and Symphony 3D - which should I install? If I'm only working in stereo is there any reason to install the "3D" versions?

100% Agree! Great post Mark! Especially your comments on the website - had the exact same reaction. I simply wanted to see what instruments are included to see if any are unique or exciting (some are) but given the frustration just to find this information, yet alone trying to figure out if I...

Anyone familiar with or try Trailer Toolkit – Vikings Edition? Having a hard time finding info. https://audioplugin.deals/punisher-vikings-cinematic-trailer-instruments-by-alternative-samples/

This really sucks! Rely on composer tools and love it! Will continue to use it as long as possible, but very sad to see. Hopefully when the time comes to move on others will share more options.

Anyone test lemur with iOS16? It’s sad that one day compatibility will break, and hopefully this thread can keep up to date as its seemingly impossible to downgrade iOS.

Sounds like a great idea! I am also curious to what Composer tools is going to do now as I to use this daily https://www.midikinetics.com/products/composer-tools-pro/

That’s even better! Thanks!!

Thanks. The initial post time didn’t make since and I Didn’t notice the “edited” time until your post. Thanks!

I'm an idiot and cant figure out when the sale on the Female Choir from Tallinn expires. Anyone help?

Yeah I saw that which is very cool, but does this mean I need to download/install the library again on the laptop with only the mics I want, or is there a way to copy only the mics I want from my desktop install to my laptop and is the system smart enough to know what I have on each machine...
