well once they have the plug ins ported over I will be interested to see the frequency of the updates they should be adding content at a much faster pace and since some of the fx lack maybe that’s where they will focus their effortsI didn’t return it after all….just put Velcro underneath it…guess you’re keeping it when you done that.
Just put it on a board together with the Halo.
This probably means that my preferred solution, a kpa player with full kemper efx, will drop the market next week
Still think one could expect a little more from time efx in a unit this pricecategory…but it has a lot going for it in other departments.
Maybe the update the time efx soon in 2027?….or I buy 500,- worth of plugins to get what I want
Agreed on your last point
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe only the older plugins need these "X updates" because they are built on an older architecture. Newer plugins might be compatible, or they might get compatibility updates faster.
That's how I felt 3 years ago already. To me e.g a computer editor was more important, even though that wasn't necessary either because the onboard UI was so nice to use for everything but content management. It would have just made for local backups and less shitty content management.
With the naming thing, "Native" has been around long before Helix and kind of goes back to older DSP systems like Digidesign TDM, TC Powercore, UAD etc. It was commonly used to distinguish between processing on external DSP and a plugin. So even though it seems like copying Helix Native, I think its a logical word to describe something that isnt running on external DSP to the DAW.
As far as I'm aware (this may have changed or evolved a bit), ML soundlab amp sims are little more than waveshapers with IR's EQ matching the tone, interpolating between settings. I've heard of some of the signature models being captured remotely by just reamping some test signals through the amp at various settings. That's not to say that they sound bad - for some amps it can be reasonably close. I remember an old forum posts that EQ matched a MT-2 to a 5150 and it was depressingly close.
This was a “shortly after launch” feature. Definitely! And who wouldn't love some Grano goodness
Yeah absolutely. I dont really see it as a big deal myself, I can think of loads of plugins I've bought over the years that promised things that never arrived.I agree they may not land as significant as we think, but let’s also consider that the initial value most people put on having them wasn’t factoring in three+ years of additional development.
Nobody’s excitement was under the premise they were the dev equivalent of building the Roman Coliseum.
At this point plugins have more symbolic value than anything else, but plugins have proven to be an anchor for platform.
I may have misunderstood and I can’t say that they are being honest but from what they have said once Pcom part is completed , it’s the plug in team that will handle the X versions and Cortex team will be able to go back to their regular scheduled program
Hard to say. I think they've said plugins don't effect QC updates, but then they also do, but now they don't?
Prone to noise, the overall grounding of the device isn’t done very well. I’ve recorded them in the studio a few times and almost every time as soon as it’s powered up, something will start humming. Easy enough to fix but it’s definitely a design flaw
I just use a line isolator and try different power outlets if I'm getting issues. I eventually get it quiet but it requires some faff
