March 23, 2025 at 5:24 pm in reply to: New SoundPaint V 4.0 FREE – More Than a Dozen Free Deep Sampled Instruments #1000025868
Hey Peter,
Sorry to hear about the health emergency.
Regarding Soundpaint, none of the 21 libraries I own have any discernable timbral variation including Bazantar Bass, 1975 Soul Guitar, Terz Guitar, Songwriting Guitars, 1976 Rhode Vintage MK1, 1928 Vintage Grand Steinway, 1967 Clarinet Paris, SoundLabs Music Box, etc. In fact, I’ve never heard a Soundpaint lib *with* timbral variation. Playing Soundpaint to me is like using a loop/sample launcher set to max velocity.
This issue is not new. It was (hotly) debated on VI-Control a while ago. IIRC, the problem is that, although Soundpaint is new, the sound content it uses is derived from fairly old libs which were recorded with little or no timbral variation (probably to save time and memory [though 8dio libs are famously *huge*]).
Soundpaint is supposedly capable of interpolating across all 128 levels of MIDI velocity yet, sadly, its sound content is devoid of timbral variation, so there’s nothing to interpolate. I think filter ADSR was used to simulate timbral variation. This was commonly done decades ago to reduce RAM usage.
The Soundpaint situation is like spending years to create the most aerodynamic plane that completely eliminates drag, but then building it out of cast iron.
Cheers…

The timbre of 8dio instruments sounds the same whether a gnat lands on your keyboard or you drop an anvil on it.
And that’s why I rarely use Soundpaint; its VIs lack expression. It’s a shame b/c it’s a really nice and well-supported plugin!

LOWEST PRICE EVER! #1000025412Thanks for posting the video. I’ve never thought of using Scaler in the way it’s being used in the video.
However, respectfully, I wouldn’t say that I was using it wrong. I don’t think there’s just one right way to use it. Personally I just play through the various presets and listen for something that’s inspiring.
I’ve done this a few times and have created a few full-length songs as a result. Cheers…
The $29 upgrade is now available for purchase at PB:

I am not seeing the update in my Arturia Software Center. Even the website shows 5.10.7.5324 as the latest download for me.
This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.
Same here. Maybe it hasn’t been pushed out to all users yet.

The numerous Transformers should pair quite nicely with Cubase 14’s Modulators.

I paid four times that amount for Cubase Pro.
I’ve been waiting for a deal like this to switch to Studio One, so I’m going to get it. Thanks for posting it.
Cheers…
Out of interest, is there anything you don’t like about Cubase? If so, do you mostly work with MIDI, or Audio?
I love Cubase’s features, but have grown increasingly frustrated over the last few years as the bugs have piled-up and my workflow has turned into a long series of maddening workarounds.
If I thought SB was comitted to fixing these bugs, I’d stick around. But given that *every* single version introduces new bugs (even the minor 0.01 updates), it’s now clear that even if they wanted to fix all the existing bugs, it may no longer be possible.
Bottom line, I think SB has lost control of Cubase.
BTW, I work almost exclusively with MIDI and VIs. I haven’t recorded anything in a few years.

That might be worth it for the extra six month of updates over the 6-mo sub.
Am I reading the info above correctly? I can crossgrade to Studio One Pro 7 with a year of updates and then continue to use it for as long as I want for only $124.22?
