This $800 price makes no sense.... You can get the Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition bundle for only $100 more ($895) http://vsl.co.at/en/211/442/982/966/602.htm Even $599 is a stretch as VSL Special Edition is only $450 With the whole 'matrixed' articulations thing available in the VSL playe...

This will definitely help:

Also, the DVD tutorial they sell for Kontakt2 is about 90% still usable and is an effin' great resource. Highly recommended.

Good luck!

Isn't this basically a turn-key version of their suggestion 2 years ago, i.e., host it in rosetta and use sunflower? They've just made that process a one stop thing essentially. Well I've tried it on my machine in Logic. The CPU hit is considerable --absolutely massive -- if you set the buffer lower...

Hi. 1 - Which 3rd party app? 2 - How about the mackie control itself (the one with the faders)? Does that work with Live? Thanks. G 1 - It's an alpha-ware thing, respect to the guy who wrote it but it doesn't work right and is unstable, crashing both itself and Live. Don't bother. 2 - Yes Cool. Abo...

D'oh! Now that the grey ones are like $650...I was hoping that the C4 Control software would do the trick since you can just assign CC#'s to the knobs. BTW - Were you talking about Mackie Control mode or just mapping CC#'s to Live and getting visual feedback on the LCDs? Mackie Control mode does no...

Some buying advice then: Be sure to press EVERY key on the keyboard. The most common failure is that the rubberized contact strip beneath the keyboard goes dodgy and those are almost impossible to replace...can't remember if i sourced one from a broken M/P on eBay or was able to clean/revive it. i t...

FWIW: The Mono/Poly was my first synth. It is a blast. But they are getting really old now and the parts are extremely hard to find...think about the KORG VIs. They sound great and go far beyond the original in capability.

I was blown away. Don't regret selling the old lady at all....

Best,

If you are talking about Morphine, no disagreement. (Again check out CUBE. There's a big diff between 128 partials and 512.)

Toxic iii is kind of nice though....

It's nice, but if you are really into additive, check out CUBE 2.0 from www.virsyn.com.

Also, Toxic III from ImageLine is really really killer (not additive though)

Just a digital transfer of data without the noise and D/A-A/D artifacts that analog might pickup along the way. Is there such a thing as an SPDIF 'splitter', and/or electrical spdif to optical converter? Converter: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sk...
