For those who have installed Areia and/or Jaeger ver. 1.1, how do you like the new improved Strings Legato Smooth functionality that was added to fix the bumpy legato in the previous version ?
Yes, I believe the Big Knob and associated effects have been removed. Quite frankly, I never found a use for it. Any processing I might want to do on the orchestra, I can accomplish better with external plugins.So I'm noticing after looking at the manual that the Kontakt Player version of Jaeger seems to be missing a ton of features. In the original version from the manual it looks like there was a whole FX section that was tied to the "Big Knob" where you could adjust compressor settings, add insert effects to the audio output channel, and it also had a step sequencer. Is there a reason this was removed? Or am I blind and can't find where those features are?

For sure, it seems like those features were likely taken out to make the plugin comply to the simplified UI in the Pyramid engine. It's nothing I would likely use much either to be honest.Yes, I believe the Big Knob and associated effects have been removed. Quite frankly, I never found a use for it.

If I recall correctly, the step sequencer is only for modulating effects, again something that can be done externally. I actually found the implementation of the sequencer effects to be a little confusing.
I'm not going to miss either feature, and am much happier they supplemented Jaeger with some selected articulations from Talos instead. But that's just me...

Good Evening guys!
We have just been informed by the NI team that Jaeger has been fixed and it's ready to go
Because of the nature of the installers, it's important that you re-download and re-install completely. We're very sorry for the inconveniences.
I also picked up Devestator in the sale and it IS really cool, but every time I load a new nki patch there’s a few seconds delay and I wonder if it’s having to load that robot and the smoke effects that’s slowing it down.

Yay!! Just got my update email for Areia! Will be doing that later tonight! So excited. Will be purchasing the bundle later this weekend as well. Thank you AI and NI!Yes, you guys will get your update e-mails in no time, we're currently working on it![]()

Yes, I just bought the complete bundle. And I also got the same message while downloading Jaeger.I just tried re-downloading and reinstalling Jaeger via Native Access (to get the vocal folder) and after 84% downloaded I keep getting an error: "Download Jaeger failed: server temporary overloading or maintenance" message. Anyone else getting this?
