Has anybody measured the area of all three pages and added them together?

I wonder how that measurement would compare to VA1?

Here's a quick filter test.

Sounds quite analog to me.

They had to with that TINY gui

There was never a problem with the quality of the sound, its the shrinking GUI that is making life hard for people who actually like to tweak....

+1

I get a feeling that the layout has more been geared towards an iOS release, than Mac or PC...

From what I read, its really disapointing to find out that all soundbanks for Ultra Anlog V 1.0 are not compatible.

I'm a bit worried about our Nec+Ultra soundset ( 260 presets for Ultra Analog ) because it is currently our best seller soundbank, and keeps on selling. Our FX only soundbank had good sales also, though its not in our top ten.

I'm atm buried under heavy work for the next Xils unit, and also I think AAS have some other more important things than to consider this problem atm, but I'll try to join them and see what they say, and if they can help us to achieve soundbank compatibility.

Depending on their -eventual- answer, i'll try to decide if its still a good thing to keep spending a lot of time to create patches for synthesizers whose developpers consider compatibility loss as just colateral damages, for people who have actively supported them and their products.

They said on Facebook that there's no way to import user created presets and they can't promise anything for the future, but they will help developers port commercial sound banks. You probably just have to contact them.

It's a drag that users can't just import their own saved presets. I've mostly saved tweaked versions of factory presets, plus a few simple ones from scratch, but still, disappointing. If they don't want to build this facility into the plugin, maybe they could just provide a web interface where you upload an AXF file and download a .bank?

Overall it's not a bad update - not mindblowing, but I like the limiter on the master, and the filter sounds better at high resonance - they might have oversampled it or something, which could account for the slightly increased CPU usage. I also like the larger arpeggiator section on a different page.

Foe what its worth my angelica sound set from V1 worked in V2- obviously the new effects were just off. I wouldn't worry to much, V1 still works and coexists with V2 (V2 shows up as an additional instrument) so everyone will still have V1 and I actually prefer it for the readable GUI!

Yup, UA VA1 and UA VA2 will live happily beside each other in my FL Studio channel list, just like ebony and ivory

Great!

How did you convert from v1 format to v2?
