Re: uad polymax free

Furthermore, if you did the free polymax offer, you should have gotten the email to buy the rest of UAD creative edition for 99 bucks, or mini moog for 50. I opted for the $99 offer and it gets you a ton of super great sounding FX and plugs.

Is there a Rack Extension (or method) to convert velocity to CC01 (mod wheel)?

Sounds like an odd request, I know, but this is why.. I have a Korg ARP 2600m that, over midi, can only receive mod wheel input to CC01. I want to do the common velocity to filter cutoff modulation. However, almost all of the players output to velocity, not CC01. Is there a way I can convert the vel...

Re: New Roland Cloud VSTs - performance issues

It's not just you - multiple users have reported this to roland - feel free to log a ticket for it as others have. I'm on an m1 pro, running both reason and ableton native, and performance for the 2.0 versions is terrible in either.

Re: Ableton live:free drift synth

I've been using the 11.3 beta and it's actually a very good, useful synth. I absolutely hate their 'analog' synth that was made by AAS, but this one seems to be leaps and bounds better, and is also approachable for those new to synthesis. As noted, the fact that they are putting it in ALL version of...

Re: A re-released concept album made with Reason 4

Sounds great! Always find it weird/annoying/amusing when various folks on the interwebz bang on about how Reason is too limited or somehow isn’t good enough to produce release-ready tracks. Your tracks sound really solid next to anything else in my Spotify playlists. And you did this with an ancien...

Re: Arturia Black Friday deal

especially if you've purchased something before and have the deal in your account for 199, it's an incredible deal for what you get. If you haven't and you're purchasing in USD, Thomann has it for 259. Ever since Arturia's been going back and re-writing their DSP for their old synths, they've earned...

Re: When was the last time you used the supplied sounbanks?

Is the factory sound bank the same thing as "reason sounds" patch collection? I like how Reason Patch Collection is at least categorized by instrument type and easier to parse. Would be nice if we could further tag (like in Arturia's latest offerings)

Re: Free Refill for Redominator RE and VSTi

as noted above, it's a fairly simple 1 oscillator synth, so if you already have something like Korg polysix or even any of the million juno 6/60/106 VSTs, you're mostly already covered. The 'unique' thing about this is that you can choose different harmonic versions of the the saw/square, and the sa...

Is there any advantage to using sweeper vs synchronous? Or is it just a different workflow? I am guessing i am not fussy because i generally get the effect i need using synchronous.

I'm about to retire my trusty old Grado SR80s and want to upgrade to something a little better.
