A Winner is Jew posted:How is that compared to Alchemy? I'd consider it a desert island softsynth, especially after the upgrades that come with 2. It's a hybrid rompler/softsynth with some ridiculous modulation capabilities. You can mix two sample banks, or a single sample and a generated waveform, or two generated waveforms and mangle the poo poo out of them. The sounds are great, the effects are great, the filters are great. The new version allows you to add your own sounds, and they upped the generated waveshapes from 5 to like 500 wavetables. It's a good synth imho. Here's the updates version intro video. It'll show you some of what it can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbpqdaLO-WI

That looks kind of amazing but I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a single softsynth. That's the price of Komplete, ffs, or Komplete Ultimate when it's on sale.

Aaaaaaaand, Omnisphere 2 won't update. Well, the core program will update, but the webpage keeps taking me in a big circle when I try to get it to update the library. Awesome. I now have a very pretty UI that makes no sound. gently caress this. I'm gonna get drunk.

Anyone have experience with Rapture Pro? Looks like I can get it on the cheap since I already own a bunch of Cakewalk poo poo, so I'm wondering if I should give it a shot.

Hmm.. $79 is indeed not a lot for a synth + 13 gb sample library. I've never used it, but the concept sounds a bit like Omnisphere's. The stuff they have on their site though, the examples etc.. mostly poo poo  So I don't know

Yeah the main concern is just that it's Cakewalk and I don't have the best impression of their products (based on using Sonar for most of a decade). I'll probably go ahead and take the plunge anyway, just to see what's what.

Agreed, I'm kinda lukewarm on the Cakewalk stuff that I have—probably not going to get Rapture.

wayfinder posted:What do you like about it? I have it but I can't really get into it over the Massive/Sylenth combo that gives me flexibility and SUPERSAWS I actually like the presets. I mean, not all of them, but there's a lot of fun stuff in there that helps me get going when I just want to jam and I'm not in Serious Music Composition Mode. There's also a lot of cheesy stuff in there I Would Never UseTM, but is similarly fun in a slightly more mocking way. I feel the presets as a whole do a pretty good job of what you can do with the synth (not all preset collections do). I like how direct it is, or at least seems to me, compared to some other similar soft synths. And deep in the Geek Section, I like that it supports Scala tuning files, and I plan to mess with that a lot (so far I've only poked at it minimally to see how it works). Also, to be clear, I'm relatively new to Z3TA+ 2; it was WAFFLEHOUND who turned me on to it and sold me on it.

Sylenth is really limited in comparison but it sounds just so buttery smooth and great, that's what made it so successful. I guess I'll have another go at z3ta+2—I've had the first version forever but couldn't use it because of a weird bug where Live would instacrash if I hit the ctrl key while the z3ta+ GUI was open, and I picked up the new version for cheap in a sale, so it wasn't really a "I want this" purchase. I wouldn't say I made a real effort at exploration, although I skipped through all the presets at least once. Perhaps it's time to really check it out and do a little sound design with it.

It has a great and intuitive interface and the sounds are a lot richer than massive imo. I've been using it for half of my sounds for the past few weeks.

I'm not very good at reviews. All I can tell you is that it's simply a joy to use. You'll start with an idea for some sound and the next thing you know, it's five hours later and your face hurts because you've been smiling the whole time.

My Patchblocks sequencer design is moving along nicely. https://soundcloud.com/poindexter-frink/msv2-demo4 This track is super bad and super busy because it's my current stress-test patch. I was getting despondent about the capacity/performance of the Patchblock until I looked at the build script and saw -O0 in the GCC options. Switching optimization on reduced the code size by 30% and improved performance greatly. I haven't hit the new capacity limit yet, primarily because I'm still coding and don't have the time or creativity left to make something more complex. p.s.: The Patchblocks editor is free and comes with a free emulator, so if you're interested, you can download it and dive right in.

That book Ableton published is out digitally now, if you're into that. http://amzn.com/B00WHXYZG8 Read about the first quarter. Couple things in there I'm definitely gonna try out, like explicitly separating writing time from editing time.

Man, I suck. My GEM S2R came in the mail from Germany today. Because I didn't think modding the power supply to run off 110v would be a problem, I didn't bother to get a step up converter. Now I gotta wait another week or two for my step up converter to come in.

It actually gets even worse. The dude I bought it from supplied a disc with a poo poo ton of samples and documentation, One of those pieces of documentation was the schematic for the power supply. I need to change 1 fuse and run a jumper between two leads. Had I read that before I opened the thing up I could be up and running by now. Instead it's all screwed back together and I have a superfluous voltage converter on it's way to me.
