It was my understanding if you buy a copy of Computer Music Magazine (any issue) you gained access to the CM software. (All of it released until now).
Several people stated this on this forum.
I also bought the hard copy of Computer Music Magazine 218 and on the DVD, I have in fact access to all software that was released until then.

I bought a digital copy of CM 252 on the Zinio site. When I wanted to access the Vault (or FileSilo as it is called now) it seems i can only access the software from that issue??

Post

Yes, you can only access the software from the issue you bought digitally. I guess you misunderstood, and what was really meant is that the CM Studio plugins contain all of the stuff which has been added in prior issues to the Studio plugins. You will not have access to special software offers, like Z3TA+, which was given away with a CM issue in 2011. Only the stuff which is available in the DVD content of the respective issue you bought.

Post

If you buy a copy of CM, you get all the software available for that issue of CM.

'All the software available' for a given issue will include

[*] the software being released for that specific issue,
[*]the archive of software from previous issues to that issue except for that which was only available on a specific issue

or at least it used to.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

The vault has the same stuff that would be on the DVD. So all the CM software that would be on the DVD.

If there is something specific you want, you can usually go back and buy that issue. BUT some of the specials may no longer be available. Most are, but a few were only available for a limited period. I know I missed a few when I got busy and forgot to download some of the software in time.

Post

They also rationalised the CM Studio a few years back - so quite a bit of stuff that was once in there isn't any more.

From memory (never fantastically reliable!) I think the decision was based around a desire to only carry software available for Mac & PC, so a few old favourites, like Dominator, were dropped.

As per this post, CM184 was the last one with the 'old' plugin set on it.

Frankly, i don't miss any of the "old" plugins though. Maybe CM Vocoder (it's very old though, not even in the list of the CM184 plugins), which never was released as 64-bit, but, i have IL Vocodex anyway, so.

There are some real gems in the CM Studio plugins, well worth checking out.

Thanks ! :tu:

That cleared things up nicely. I was for example interested in Stix CM, but when I clicked it in the "Highest rated" list, the website redirected me to a specific issue, asking to unlock the content. And for that, I needed to buy the issue.

Their navigation could certainly be improved :dog: .

Thanks for the help.
