You'll get:
Radiator V5
Strained mind because you have a second license you don't use
An iLok with Slate products and Radiator V5

What difference between Radiator V5 and V4?

[Sampleconstruct]

And some beat mangling processing the most simple beat I could play which leads to total FX mayhem:

I forgot to mention that the version 5 GUIs are certainly not Retina/Yosemite ready, please improve the flickering mayhem asap, thank's!

apologies if it's been mentioned already,
but does anyone know if the DSP algos have been tweaked or improved ? either in terms of sound/fidelity or optimization ?

Checked Radiator V4 vs V5 and Devli Loc Deluxe V4 vs V5 - CPU and RAM the same:
ASIO: ~15% on i7 2.8 GHz (one instance)
RAM: 20-40 MB per instance

Slate Digital for example ships "polyphonic" instances - 0.2-0.3 MB per instance !!! Slate rocks!

Devli Loc Deluxe V4 vs V5 - CPU and RAM the same:
ASIO: ~8% on i7 2.8 GHz (one instance)

Hello,
after the update, all V5 Plugins go to default in existing sessions/projects ??
Anyone else?

Do you mean every time you open saved projects? Or just projects containing V4?

Well, that was a no-brainer. $50 to upgrade, still leaves me with Radiator and Devil-Loc Deluxe licenses I could theoretically flog. I could wind up making money off this!


Think I might see if I can put them in the second-hand part of Luftrum's auction, in fact.

just projects containing V4

yes

Worked with a lot of Numerology projects and stacks the last years.

On another computer were the new V5 is not installed the V4 plugins are no more working because at the iLok the V4 versions were removed and the V4 versions are asking for activation again.

Submitted this to Soundtoys also will inform about their answer.

if you didn't have to tick them to get to the $50 price like i did then yes there is no issue flogging them.

You must have had all the other full effects already in your account individually.

Yup. Upgraded on the basis of V4 plus the full version of Microshift, and the Little versions of Alter Boy and Primal Tap. Was pleasantly surprised that they accepted the Little versions as tradeins considering they were freebies, rather generous of them really.

Here is a first quick and dirty rack experiment, just processing a simple sequence of octaves played with some synth bells which eventually leads to a nice ambient cloud sort of thing - v5 is indeed a great update totally worth the cash:

Nice sounds!

Why is the GUI so laggy in the video though?

Thank's - because? Retina display/Yosemite - and the dropdown animation in the FX rack is extremely slow, you can go and make a coffee until a sub menue has unfolded

Hi, Chris from Soundtoys here - I did the majority of the programming for the rack. Just want to chime in on this issue. And thank you for the awesome videos! We are so stoked to see what sounds people are coming up with.

1- Retina and other large super-hi-res monitors definitely can stress the graphics in the rack, and this is something we're aware of, but we did not want to make you guys wait any longer! We're looking to improve that ASAP. This only occurs on some DAWs/systems, because all of the DAWs handle window resizing differently.

2 - Doing video capture stresses it even more!

All the UI happens on one thread, so this is independent from audio processing (which happens on a different dedicated thread). Thanks for your understanding, and we are definitely working on it.

Thank's Chris, I'll buy the graphic problems any day as long as the sound is as good as it is, other plugins have the same problems so I am used to it by now, it seems the more one invests, the more shitty one's equipment behaves

I'm reading on GS that while the preset name says 'default', the actual settings aren't being reset to default and should be correct as per what was saved with the project. A rep from SoundToys said they are aiming to fix it so it shows the original preset name though.
