By the way, here's where you go to join

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystal-users/

I bet membership really rises over the next 24 hours.

Robert

Adding another member to this group now.

> This group has exceeded the daily download limit (try again tomorrow)

s!&t, i was too late!


Fette Töle

Not to worry. I posted a message to the list about how to download it.
So, if you weren't able to download it, look for a recent message
from me on the list with the instructions.

- Glenn

should be working again, I just signed up..and downloaded 2.2..

thx, o´glenn!

fyi, I've now set up the group so that when you join you'll automatically get the download instructions and release notes by email.

- Glenn

Thanks Glen, the update is appreciated.
Crystal just gets better and better
The new presets certainly showcase what Crystal is capable of.
Nice!

first CM crystal then normal now I have to sign up at Yahoo
ts ts ts I don´t understand that strange guy... what´s next ?

the next version will only be available at a small shoe store in Zimbabwe...details to follow.... j/k

anyhows, Thanks Glenn you are awesome!

Hammer

yeah glenn, you are a great guy

so you have to register, he WANTS us to make a crystal community.....I would do the same thing if I was the developer of this synth

.. and I believe the community idea came from us, not Glenn

Another one so soon? Great.

Although after I went through about 15 pages of Yahoo nonsense, I remembered why I stopped using Yahoo. Why is it that anything vaguely American can't understand that we don't all use zip codes or postal codes? It's usually a necessary field to fill in and I don't have a bloody zip code, so I normally get pissed off and put something facetious in as it won't accept "not applicable". But of course it won't accept facetious postal codes either, bah! And as for "we have just sent you e-mail verification.........................." ........ I'm still waiting.........

Sorry, a bad day, and the net can sometimes be so infuriating.

Anyway, thanks Glenn.... if Yahoo will ever let me in, I'm sure 2.2 will be well worth the wait

Hey Kritikon,

Being an Australian I often have this problem as well, the way I tend to resolve all my online form issues is basically by pretending I reside somewhere like sunny california, afterall most things you signup for just seem to add more spam to your inbox anyways and I'm not terribly keen on giving my real details away every day of the week so they can be sold.
Only time I recommend handing out details is if it's a money thing really, and that doesn't include nigerian banking scams .

Almost forgot. Crystal Rocks.

Been trying to download this one and still can't Always aborts for some ass sucking reason.

I'll get 20 monkeys in my room and maybe they will manage to code crystal 2.2 for me much faster than I can get this update.



Pat

Look mighty nice though! Sorry for being a little impatient!

Thanks for that awesome freebie Glenn!

Pat

I have become a member of Yahoo crystal users with the promise of downloading the awsome Crystal Vsti. Despite being able to log into the site (i.e. Welcome, username, crystal - users) I can't find a link to download this little baby from.

Anyone who has the time to explain to me how to find the download would be a top bloke/blokette in my books.

P.S. This forum is filled with an incredible amount of highly useful information. At least in my opinion. Thanks to those who do.

Well one way to do so is to go to the "files" section of the yahoo group. That's where I picked up 2.2 from.


prog

Thanks but the files link is not a link for me. It is just text. Maybe it is a browser problem although I don't have any other probs I know of.

I just sent you a private message.


Also do you have a mac or a pc. Glenn posted some ftp sites that I could pm you with.

I have a PC. I would appreciate it if you could pm what you mentioned. By the way what does pm mean.

PM = private message. Check the top of your page to see if you have any private messages.

Message on its way

prog

I saw no folders at the link. I am downloading now though so thank you. Maybe I just don't uderstand the Yahoo login process but I figured that being as they have emailed me a password and I have a username and password and have successfully logged in that all would be cool. Maybe I should try re-registering. Any way all is good and I am seconds away from trying Crystal 2.2 out.

Thanks again prog

no problem.

I hope you can get it working. The New presets are really good, and some of the modified waveforms are really warm.

Crystal is a very nice free vsti like Synth 1 and I use it from time to time for my music. Thanks for that, Glenn!

But why is now the download so complicated, only with a membership by Yahoo possible I don't like such clubs and give up therefore the newest versions of Crystal.

>>>the next version will only be available at a small shoe store in Zimbabwe...details to follow....

That's the point! "Defend the beginning!"

It's a freebie and bandwidth costs money. With so many people downloading Crystal, this must help somehow.

I'm not too lucky with yahoo groups. Whenever I try to download bigger files, It always breaks. (I'm still a modem retard ).

Just broke again!

Pat

You know guys,if you READ the group posts,Glenn's posted alternate sites to d/l from.
The reason he's doing this is so we'd have an active users GROUP,and not a bunch of people grabbing the new version and running off,never to be heard from again.So,READ the posts and get involved.

ok THANKS for being HELPFUL. I just READ them and FOUND the download LINK.

pAt

I think Glenn can do whatever he like to Crystal and he can also
distribute it in any manner he see's fit.I'd jump through hoops for it
never mind spend two minutes filling in a form.

I hope the yahoo signup procedure isn't too complex. It seems pretty streamlined, but I know that filling out any forms, no matter how simple, can be a pain when you're in a hurry. But as someone mentioned earlier, the point is to build a community of Crystal users, so that we can all get more out of it, particularly by sharing patches.

Regarding the 2.2 download instructions, those are mailed to you automatically when you join. If you don't see that mail, you can also find the instructions in the files area of the crystal-users yahoo group.

Once you have joined your first Yahoo group the rest are easy. Just remember your name and password. There are some great groups out there. I wish I had more time in the day to keep up with them all. The Emu P2K group was always helpful, even with other hardware like the XL-7. The Nord Modular group is a must if you want the most out of it. If the group is good the developer is almost always involved in some way. I only wish it had a better system of reading all the messages in a thread.

I am a member of several ranging from groups on poetry, alumni groups, and geeky science stuff, to groups on synthesis and crystal. I have three profiles on those groups, and different delivery mechanisms. All of which can be maintained rather easily. So my alumni groups see one email address and identity, while the music groups see the progfusion74 identity. All of these are under the same yahoo ID.

I am glad we have a dedicated crystal group. Much required.

No it was easy. I only got broken downloads with yahoo. Got a good workaround from the help of SOMEONE here.


Thank you very much btw, it's an incredible synth. Very easy to use and to understand. Lots of possibilities!!!

Pat

Just wanna say Thx Glenn for this master piece,

lovely sounding...

if i was to compare this synth(which is difficult) it would be absynth

it´s great that this is a feebee, i just love it..

laterz

I aint gonna sign up at Yahoo for this im afraid, too much hassle, too much info needed.

Just remember when you signup with Yahoo, go to your "marketing preferences" and de-check all the boxes, or your going to be in for a real "spammy" treat!

Crystal 2.2 is wonderful! This is the first plugin I've ever seen that I could do an entire arrangement with and not miss anything!
