Yes, he does seem very responsive and you are so right about how deep this software is!

I noticed that they have been putting out quite a few videos of late which is much appreciated, but the software could definitely benefit from some AI assistance if implemented correctly.

I bought the UJAM complete my collection last year, thinking it would save me a ton of money. Boy was I wrong. Now I have to keep buying UJAM releases just to keep my collection complete. Fortunately, they have not been bank breaking…yet.

This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.

Thanks @bluescat

Will be interested to see how well the AI stuff works. I will probably upgrade but might wait to see if the upgrade price is reduced in the annual sale they have nearer Christmas.

Thanks Brian @bluescat

I got the free upgrade a while back but my installed version is 0.7.6 and the latest is 2.0.0 so worth downloading the update.

I also noticed that they do a Ubuntu version! I keep toying with the idea of dropping Windows in favour of something else and various flavours of Linux are getting better (I’m now using Linux Mint…Read More

@peter I think that’s also my plan – to splurge on the KU 15 update and not get anything else for the rest of the year.

I have been very restrained so far this year. Plus I plan to offload a bunch of iLok stuff on KVR/Knobcloud soon (mostly Eventide and UVI) which should help fund the update.

NI just sent me a personal incentive code as I…Read More

Yup, worked here too! Thanks for the heads-up @doug

This piques my curiosity – do you have it @bluescat?

I found this info on the big MIDI thread on KVR…

I’ve been waiting for this sale to buy Pro-Q4 upgrade for my Total Bundle!

It was £37.80 for the upgrade – nice!

Thanks @peter

$49 in my case

Computer scientist by profession, and musician as a hobby

Same for me.

4 days now! This is such a shame if they went under. ☹

Yeah, I renewed my expired license as I use this a lot.

From your account, you can also extend an active Solo license for $25 or renew an expired Solo license for $35.

I assume it would also be cheaper to extend or renew a Performer license, though I only have Solo so can’t provide the figures.

Good idea @peter

I would just add that I will be leaving my K15U update until the last few days of June. The reason being that I noticed, in the past, that NI sent me an additional voucher to sweeten my upgrade deal near the end of the offer period. I’m not saying that will definitely happen this time, but I’d say it’s worth waiting to see.

I…Read More

I’m on Komplete 13 Ultimate @peter, so there are A LOT of updates in K15 U.

Some that I’m keen on are:

• The new Session titles (Acoustic Sunburst Dlx, Prime Bass, Icon Bass, Upright Bass, Ukelele, Electric Mint, Picked Nylon)
• Piano Colours
• Guitar Rig 7 Pro
• Alicia’s Electric keys and other Electric Keys

There are probably others, but that…Read More

It’s installed and I had a quick play with the presets. Sounds great!

Plenty of usable presets and that’s before I have tweaked anything.

Standouts are Cloud Fantasy, Plinky plonk, Iced swells, Chaos theory ..

That’s weird – I just updated MPluginManager and after the update I can see Analog Empire Plucks and Keys on the MSoundFactory page. So they seem to have published it early (I own MSoundFactory btw).

I am downloading it now (1.6Gb).

The voiceover and music is very ASMR. I still haven’t had my first cup of coffee. But this is so relaxing. Getting sleepy… 😉

Your friend who keeps the beat.

Lol, yes I also love the ambient music from 13 minutes onwards in the video. Very soothing!

Thanks @bluescat that is useful to know. I will try the player version and see if it floats my boat.

Meanwhile Playbeat 4 for €20 is worthwhile.

@bluescat I did the same as you re Playbeat 4 and I’m glad I did. Thanks for the heads-up.

I was also not interested in Soundbox on release, so will be interested in your view now.

Thanks @peter-ik ; that’s what I was waiting to hear. I appreciate the response.

@rsmcguitar I understand your frustration and I am currently holding off buying the TS5 MAX Crossgrade deal for $99 for this exact reason.

The main reason for me buying it would be for the TONEX collections and to a lesser degree the Morley pedals.
So to have to contact support just to get what I have already paid for would be a non starter. I…Read More

I tried the cheapest sub when it was on offer for a year. Great plugins and sounds but…

I didn’t renew mostly because of Roland Cloud Manager. If you don’t have it running and logged in all the time then any Roland plugin won’t authorise. I got sick of it.
