Heads up for the three of us who don't have them: Arturia's V Collection is half off for the next month on their site.

Sadly all of Slate's require you to buy an iLok so to hell with them. Speaking of 80s stuff, theres a new Casio CZ soft synth out. Bought it when it was released and really liking it so far apart from some really screwy preset management. There's some good sport for it on KVR for it as well with links or original documentation and some extra patches, including the factory originals and the optional ROM carts.

Something about paying $54.95 for the pleasure of having some bullshit DRM doesn't sit right with me.

Arturia decided to miss the Black Friday boat entirely by releasing V collection 4 today. New this round is the Vox Continental from earlier and new Solina and Matrix-12 emulations, Spark is updated to 2.0, and a supposedly less retarded activation scheme.

Yeah I got the $99 offer after buying V3 for 50% off in August. I love the Solina, but a bug in the convolution reverb spikes the CPU when latency is below say 128 on my machine. Take that off and slap on ValhalaVintageVerb though and everything is as it should be. With the Spark upgrade (that looks like it actually has a drum synth buried in there somewhere instead of strictly a sampler) I basically got four new VSTs for $25 each. Not a bad haul.

I don't know poo poo about Audition but to be fair Auria on iOS doesn't support MIDI either. They've been talking about doing so for years and supposedly have something for NAMM but who the hell knows. I've been nerding the gently caress out with Hive, writing a script which I hope will batch convert TAL U-NO-LX patches. Fun times, learning a fuckload about synths in the process.

Anae posted:This is interesting - aren't they quite different synths? What was the idea behind the project? Hive's claim to fame is as a cpu-friendly optimized supersaw synth like what I'm told Sylenth is (tho I don't have it). However at its core are two oscillators w/ separate suboscs, two multimode filters and a modulation matrix. Turns out the Juno 6's topology fits neatly inside this configuration. Still have a good bit of work to do but so far the filters, envelopes and key tracking are good to go. Arpeggiator is gonna be a pain tho but I think Hive's built in one can pull it off. Beyond this I should be able to use its mod matrix to morph between TAL patches, or even map separate components to the mod wheel/aftertouch/LFO/whatever. Fun times.

KVR is always mad. At everything. That's their job. Last month someone casually posted that their kid was at the doctor and within an hour an army of anti-vaxxers swooped down to spread their gospel. I'm sure the next year of One-Synth Contests will be PC only again. Still it does feel like the buyout was done in the most consumer-unfriendly way possible (and I say this as an Apple fanboy who has no Camel products) but welp, money is money.

I like my Impulse but every time I try using the after touch I feel like I'm gonna break my fingers. I don't have a lot of experience with other AT controllers -- are most keyboards that stiff? At any rate, I rebound after touch to my expression pedal and that seems to work a lot better.

Maybe six months or so. They did a sale last August for K9 and I think K10 came out maybe a month later.

I spent like two weeks writing a Python script to convert all the TAL-U-NO-LX patches to Hive... then never bought Hive  The hardware bug bit me hard. Learned a shitload about how synths work in the process though, and the 500 or so converted patches are on u-he's site, if they weren't bundled into the release.Fun synth tho. Surprised they never filled the third honeycomb slot -- was hoping they'd implement some sort of patch morphing or something. I did like Hive though, and I might pick it up again if I feel like working in the box more later. I'll probably sell Zebra once my nine months are up though -- never could bother to really learn it.

Your Computer posted:Isn't the M1 and D50 sample-based Eh, sorta. They use very short samples combined with early virtual analog. The D50 at least also has patches that don't use samples at all, apart from what I guess are probably saw/square wave samples. At any rate tho, gently caress iLok.

Arturia just dropped an upgrade to their collection. Synclavier is the main attraction, but there's also a Hammond B-3, Rhodes and physically modeled piano, as well as interface updates across the board so Modular doesn't look like so much poo poo anymore.

Slat Digital products not only use iLok, they still require the dongle, with no software option. Don't pay $40 for the privilege of having third-party DRM.

Welp, Aurturia just dropped V6 of their collection. Upgraded piano, DX7, Fairlight CMI, clavinet and the Buchla Music Easel. Unfortunately my upgrade price from V5 is apparently $200 so I can't really justify it right now. Hopefully there will be a sale at some point.
